Naw, I did it for our SAR group, but needed a way to get auto-updates

solution to that. Just trying to get my fee back from Google by
charging a minimum amount. The app doesn't do that much: Unix
strategy, do one thing and do it well...
Some developers place their project on several repositories.
I don't use Google Play.
A fine repository is F-Droid. https://f-droid.org/
It handles FOSS apps, does updates well. The descriptions and checks for
tracking or over indulging in "needs" is admirable.
If I choose to gather something from Google Play I'll use an
at-arms-length access means of access. Of course that means no update
notifications or easy update.
A file manager is a necessity for anyone shunning Google Play.
A file manager is not required to _use_ F-droid, however it may be
required to _install_ the Fdroid.apk as it is not in the GP repository,
so won't show in the near proprietary Download area of the device.)
