My Android Phone allows you to run two separate copies of installed applications and a second space where you can run a different profile for apps (Think a Personal or work persona). The stock file manager clearly captures a range of personal and usage data and information for ad targeting. I’m therefore looking for an alternative open source File manager that I could use that allows me to access files in both profiles as the stock one does. Any ideas?

    Ah… I guess the Xiaomi File Manager has some elevated privileges that us mere users camt have.

        Sounds interesting. I saw elsewhere that the way was to configure a FTP server in the second space and then connect to it from the first space. Might have a look at that as an idea. Not sure how i feel about wandering around with that running while I connect to wifi but then I guess that would be why i put everything through my VPN right?
