I'm sitting here like, in my old age I've seen things these script kiddies are apparently unaware exist. They will lie to your face and insist its not lying, so long as they can't be bothered to learn any differently.

All these idiots insisted the requested feature is in the app, so I tried it and found ... MaterialFiles doesn't have Move-to/Copy-to. It's not a feature that even makes all that much sense(if any) for a mobile app, but damn, they should just say that instead of insisting its a feature their app already has.

I have like eight different file-browsers on my phone, as each has one or more features the others won't, or can't impliment. ES File whatever - the only one that can set a file as a ring-tone. X-plore File-Manager - let's me sort media files based on length, not just age, name or file-size ... and also happens to be the only mobile file-browser I've seen with the feature requested in the OP.

For my day-to-day, I use fx File Browser, and I couldn't even tell you why. I'm of an age where I stick to what I'm used to until I'm forced into an alternative, and even then that one feature usually doesn't make for a new daily driver. "Dev's" like are crowding this thread are doing their best to make sure it stays that way. I'm ready to jump ship to a Linux phone because there are fewer (shit)devs writing apps for them.
