Description

Hello, I've been using this app for a while, but I realized that it's not like other file managers. For example, when you click on "documents" in the side panel, the files shown are always limited to internal storage, I use an SD card and I'd like it to show the files on the SD card too, equally with the other tabs "videos", "images", etc.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file or test. Start by locating the side-panel category listing entry point and how it selects storage roots; verify Documents, Videos, and Images on internal storage and an SD card. Done means each category shows matching files from both storage locations.
