A group of open source Android apps without ads and unnecessary permissions
Warning, the reaction to massive security issues in a bundled PDF reader of the file manager made me uninstall all of these apps. Safety of my device and data is paramount.
https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/iss...
https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/iss... where the developer shows no grasp of security "what can happen to an app without internet access?"
A "simple" file manager should not come with a PDF reader.

Simple File Manager vulnerability
Fdroid app has a notification in the updates section for a vulnerability in Simple File Manager Pro with a recommendation to uninstall. The only thing I have found through a web search was a github post back from December Any of you know what it may be?

FOSS apps that you use?
I would stay clear of anything released by simple mobile tools for 2 reasons. Reason 1. They deceptively added a unannounced "free trial" and effectively force you to pay for the app unexpectedly or switch calendars and 2. The developer addimently refused to update the apps libraries, despite those libraries containing known vulnerabilities, until f-droid and the community pressured them into updating. https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/issues/656

F-Droid: List Of The Best Apps!
I'm cautious about recommending the "Simple" suite of apps as well, after the whole Simple File Manager fiasco. There was a vulnerability in the app's PDF viewer, to which the developer responded saying "I don't understand those geeky things there", then months later denied the vulnerability existing. I believe that the vulnerability was fixed, but this is definitely not a great look for the developer, and made me lose trust and confidence in them. I prefer Aves Libre over Simple Gallery anyways, has a nicer, more modern, UI and features imo.

Simple File manager Pro has some Security threat.
I was reading https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/issues/619 and it really looks like people are over reacting and he handles the pressure very well that some people want to push upon him. And the problem was even solved in last weeks commit.

Show HN: Material Files – Material Design File Manager for Android
Only through davx apparently https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles/issues/191
Supporting Android 5.0+ is impressive, though there was another file manager supporting Android 1.0+ discussed recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38789958 (I'm impressed by both, not an Android developer, curious how one ensures compatibility with ancient versions; actual testing, a compatibility linter, other?)
I also enjoy Material Files' README, particularly https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles#why-material-files (a clear articulation of "Why" is always informative) and https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles#inclusion-in-custo... (clear guidance to upstreams seems relatively uncommon, helps shed light on ecosystem dynamics otherwise invisible to me anyway).

Using Pixel with a Mac
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.
