I use one called X-Plore. It's actually very good. Even has a WiFi server, conpressed archive support, etc. but the downsides are that it's close sourced and some features are behind a paywall (though IMO they are worth it).
So I was thinking of moving to some free or open source software. Any recommendations?

Material Files is fantastic.
FOSS (free and open-source), and supports root, if you need it.
Amaze is amazing (I'm sorry, it was stronger than me) too.

I forgot to mention that *both of them* are open-source.

I use a couple of simple apps, the gallery is great, the file manager is not amazing but it does the job, I guess I haven't encountered many issues because I use it together with other apps (a different pdf viewer, a different zip manager, etc)

I use MiXPlorer.
It's free (not sure if FOSS), and there are non-essential-but-nice-to-have features that are paid, just to support the dev - but the free features are awesome, and more than enough for me.

This one is really great and does everything you expect from a file manager. I've been using it for years. But yes, it's not FOSS.

I am a long time Solid Explorer user and I've tried MiXPlorer a few times but always went back to Solid. What does MiXPlorer do that Solid can't?

Thanks for checking that for me.
I know what FOSS means - I wasn't sure if MiXPlorer is FOSS or not.

This one. Allows you to also use sftp to access your remote files over SSH

Same for me, switched from Total Commander, since Material Files is a bit more comfortable to use. For some reason I do not get the same upload speeds to my home server though, and I cannot figure out why.
That said Total Commander sometimes lost connection and I had to start over, so I am ok with slower upload if its more consistent.

I had been using Solid Explorer and decided to try some open-source options. Amaze seems to be the best of them, but I went back to Solid Explorer after trying it for a few weeks.

Not FOSS, but I use Files by Google, FX File Explorer and old version of ES File Explorer.

X-plore, even paid for it.
It has replaced ES File Explorer 3.2.4.1 that I've used since 2014.
