Ghost Commander vs Sharing
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Ghost Commander
Dual panel file manager, like Norton Commander, Midnight Commander or Total Commander. Notable features: * Ability to copy and move files between its two panels * Create or extract (unzip) ZIP archives * Transfer files via FTP/SFTP/SMB * Full-featured app manager able to access extra info and share apks Requires root: No, but if provided you can remount filesystems and mess around with system files. Note: Due to missing deps, SFTP server connections authenticated with Kerberos might fail on certain newer devices.
Sharing
Share files and apps using browser. you need the other device to be connected to the same network. Files sent from browser to the app can be found in Sharing/ folder in your internal storage. You will need to send this app to the other device in case you sent an app with split apk files. Make sure you use hotspot to get faster speeds transferring files. All thanks goes to Hamdy El-Menshawy for the UI design specially the web side App made by Ammar64
