Maybe my search-fu is abandoning me here but every once a while I need to unextract an archive, do you have recommendations ? Don’t want to install stuff from Aurora just for this.
Material Files include extraction options but not every format is supported. Zip, 7z and XZ are supported in both compression and decompression.
Nice, I never heard of Material Files before, thanks.

use termux
Ghost commander does support unzip. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.ghostsq.commander/ (And as a last resort you can use “adb shell” for zip, unzip and tar on the command line)
I’ve settled on Material Files for a file browser and it handles all my compress/extract needs.
-
Find the file
-
Press the 3 vertical dots on the right
-
Select ‘extract’
-
Navigate to or create the folder you want to extract to.
-
Press the paste-clipboard icon in the bottom-right to extract the files.
NB. It can create compressed archives as .zip .tar.xz or .7z
-
Just use standard Unix tools through Termux?
Your best bet on FOSS app is IrkFM on Izzy’s repo.
For a closed source option, use RAR from Aurora from RARLAB (WinRAR company) and disable internet on it.
Another option, albeit closed source, is the built in archiver utility in MiXplorer on XDA.
Why advertise proprietary apps in a FOSS community? Especially when there are FOSS options available
I am not advertising, and my first suggestion is a FOSS app. I am simply telling about the best functional tools that OP can use without privacy concerns.
Except this isn’t a privacy community, this is a FOSS community, and OP mentioned they wanted an app on F-Droid, not anything about privacy.
The idea that “FOSS is only about privacy and nothing else, therefore proprietary apps are the same as FOSS apps” is absurd and harmful to the free software community, so I downvoted you based on that.
Fair enough, I probably should not have done that, but my concern was helping out OP. Never cared about internet points.
