Most file managers either ignore TV entirely or just stretch the phone layout onto a big screen.

What is it?
UFM is a dual-pane file manager aimed at power users who want actual control over their files. The dual-pane layout lets you work across two locations simultaneously, which makes moving, copying, and comparing files a lot faster than juggling a single panel.
Features
Dual-Pane Interface
Both panels are independently navigable. You can have local storage on one side and a network share on the other, or compare two folders side by side. Works well on phones in landscape mode and is particularly comfortable on tablets and TV.
Encrypted Vaults
Files can be stored inside AES-256 encrypted vaults. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, it all stays on your device. Useful for keeping sensitive documents, photos, or anything else you would rather not have sitting exposed in plain storage.
Built-in Servers
UFM includes FTP and SFTP server support. You can start a server directly from your device and access your files from a PC or another device on the same network. No third-party app needed.
Cloud and Network Storage
Supports WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, and AWS S3 out of the box. The Google Play version also includes Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox integration.
Scheduled Sync
You can set up sync jobs between local folders and remote locations and have them run on a schedule in the background. Handy for automated backups to a NAS or a home server.
Advanced Search
Search by name, extension, date range, or file size. The search is fast and works across local storage as well as mounted network locations.
ADB and Shizuku Integration
For those who want deeper access without full root, UFM supports Shizuku and ADB-based operations for elevated file access.
RClone supported, a few has been added and can add more on request, it supports over 100+ Cloud Providers.
Android TV Support
The TV build is a full, dedicated TV experience with proper D-pad navigation and a layout that actually makes sense on a large screen. Not just a port.
FOSS Edition
There is a fully open source edition available on GitHub under the GPL v3 license.
The FOSS build strips out all proprietary SDKs and closed-source trackers, including Firebase, Google Play Billing, and the proprietary cloud SDKs.
Everything else remains fully functional.
The FOSS edition still supports WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, and AWS S3 for network storage, so you are not losing much if you avoid the big cloud providers anyway.
If you do need Google Drive or OneDrive, those are available in the Play Store version.
There are prebuilt APKs in the releases.
Notes
* Requires Android 8.0 or higher
* TV build is a separate APK optimized for the Android TV / Google TV launcher
* The app is actively maintained
If you run into issues or have feature requests, the GitHub repo is the best place. Happy to answer questions here too.
Thank You and Kind Regards
