You can also download the Total Commander APK from its own site[0] which includes that functionality, as mentioned in the forum post linked by the article this is only for the Play Store version.

Dev should publish TC via Fdroid. I always check for Fdroid versions first. Fdroid are more honest about app perms and policies than Google are.

Total Commander isn't open source. Since it's freely available, Ghisler could set up an Fdroid repository. I for one would pull it from there if that were an option.

Fdroid is very close to being the "brew" or "apt" of the Android world, being able to pull updates from multiple sources.

Is there a directory of such sources available online somewhere? The only sources I know are Fdroid itself, Guardian Project and IzzyOnDroid.
