How to browse?

Only one folder is opened at once.

Only parents of current folder are displayed. It saves vertical space and keep a breadcrumb.

If the user closes the current folder (e.g.: clicking the current folder's name), the current context becomes the parent folder.

All above folders lost highlight somehow (by greying them or another way) to keep focus on the current context.

Folders can be pined to keep showed even when another folder is selected.

Main entries like "Bookmarks" and "Home" are always showed.

@MR. XXX, I like the idea of showing free space on top. Let's talk about it. The free space is relative to the Phone memory or a memory card? Or both together? How to show it clear?

I think it depends where you are. If you are in sd card folder, it shows SD card memory, if you are in system folder it shows system memory.
When I copy or move something I want to see free space in folder where I'am copying to.

I had an idea for a quick navigation bar. I couldn't propose it due to an error code, but this is a .png of the proposal
