You could try installing Material files in both profiles. It's also on fdroid. Set up the ftp server, choose what folders you want to share, in one profile and then connect to it in the other profile.

I use Filezilla and Material Files to transfer large / multiple files via ftp. Otherwise Neardrop works great for quick file sharing.

I think you'd like Amaze and Material Files. They both don't have an option for webdav though.

F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Oct 2023

F-Droid is one of the first apps I install when restoring my phone. That said, I usually use F-Droid to install an alternate frontend. There's Neo Store[0] which is a fork of Droid-ify[1] which itself is a fork of Foxy Droid[2]. Personally I use Neo Store, includes more repos by default and can auto update apps.

PSA: Only the official F-Droid client has proper mirror support

Hi, I use Neostore to manage my Foss apps... including setting the repos to various foss projects (Izzydroid.. ) , Mull is part of it. Maybe accessible from F-Droid too but Neostore is way better
