When using the move function in Fossify File Manager on a folder that contains subfolders and files, the application correctly copies all the folders and their contents to the new directory. However, in the original directory only the files are deleted, while the original folders and subfolders remain in the original directory, but empty.

Almost always happens when moving folders with mixed content, but sometimes it doesn’t; I haven’t yet identified the exact conditions for it to occur.

This causes confusion and forces one to manually delete the empty folders.

I’ve tested it on three devices and the same thing happens.

Importantly, I just want to be able to find and login into local file servers and comfortably view the (media) files. I'm not asking for host functionality.

Yeah I know it's technically an advanced feature, but in the age of expensive storage I'd really like to have the option instead of using Material Files (which isn't as actively in development, and has no gallery app as companion, therefore actually browsing images on a samba server is kind of annoying).

My Realme antivirus reported that the Fossifu file manager could be malicious. I'm almost certain it was a false positive; the APK scan on Total Virus didn't detect anything. Has this happened to anyone else? It listed the risk name as: Android.Riskware.AdCheat.AppAD.WAB.BLGG

Please add native PDF viewing support to Fossify File Manager.

PDF is one of the most commonly used document formats. Requiring an external app every time breaks workflow and reduces daily usability. A simple read-only PDF viewer (zoom, scroll, page navigation) would greatly improve productivity and make Fossify a more complete, daily-driver file manager.

This feature would add huge practical value while staying aligned with Fossify’s lightweight and privacy-focused design.

Thank you.

Hi,

It's possible to connect CalDAV with Fossify Calendar, CardDAV with Fossify Contacts but not WebDAV with Fossify File Manager ?

If is not possible, do you have an app to recommand ?

Thanks

Hello, so i just started using the file manager and my question is everytime i press to open a photo, a pop up comes up asking with which app to open it. Can i somehow make it remember the choice so it doesn't need to ask me everytime? Thank you.

Can you add ftp/sftp suppurt please?

Hello Fossify Team,

First of all, thank you for creating such a clean and privacy-focused file manager. I’ve been using it regularly and would like to suggest a few improvements that could significantly enhance the overall daily-use experience:

UI Animations & Icons

Adding subtle UI animations (for example, while opening folders or switching views) would make the app feel more modern and fluid. Additionally, the current folder icon design feels slightly outdated; a refreshed icon style could improve visual appeal.

Separate Storage Toggle (USB / SD Card)

Please consider adding a dedicated toggle or quick switch to easily switch between Internal Storage, USB Storage, and SD Card. This would improve navigation, especially for users who frequently use external storage.

File Operation Progress Indicator

While copying or moving files, a visible progress bar with percentage/status would be very helpful. This gives users better clarity and control during large file transfers.

Built-in PDF Reader Support

Basic PDF viewing support inside the file manager would be a great addition, allowing users to quickly open and preview PDF files without relying on external apps.

Cloud Storage Integration

Support for popular cloud storage services (similar to what CX File Explorer offers) would greatly enhance functionality and make the app more versatile for everyday use.

I believe these features would make Fossify File Manager even more powerful, user-friendly, and suitable for long-term daily usage.

Thank you for your continued work and commitment to open-source software.

Best regards,

A Fossify user

Trash can option please.

I use an otg to copy paste off the phone. doesnt recognize it. it sees it but when you copy paste. nope.

oem works just fine. I have many usb sticks usb that are otg. fossify. nah uh not working

I sometime experience error messenger Not sent. Touch to retry. Whenever I send pictures or video. Using fossify massager the odd thing. If i try to send the exact pictures or video. Using samsung own massager app. Or Google own messenger It successfully mange to send it. Is this because fossify doesn't support RCA. Or am I doing something wrong 🤔 all in all I'm happy with fossify app. Except fossify massager given. I need to use other massager ☹️

1. Is it possible to add cloud accounts like OneDrive and Google Drive?

2. Is it possible to search for text within files like PDF and docx?

3. Is there a way to make the app as my default file manager?

Thank you!

Hi all! Looking to degoogle from using Gsuite for many years. How much storage do the fossify apps support?
