Description
I been using this app to add SFTP support for the default Android Files app: https://github.com/AlainKnaff/Android-SFTP-Documents-Provider
However, sometimes i like to use Material Files, and even though it has SFTP support, that SFTP feature doesnt have Socks5 proxy support, which the above app does have it. Please add it if you can.

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced Android-SFTP-Documents-Provider SFTP.java implementation at line 113, then locate Material Files' SFTP connection entry point. Done means SFTP connections can be configured and used through a SOCKS5 proxy, with behavior checked against the existing SFTP support.
