Description

Having a libre app that provides a UI to create symbolic links on Android would be nice.

Because creating them via adb shell or a terminal app is a pain and may not work. (permission issues to have other apps use the link) Maybe it's due to the SELinux context not being right when creating from a shell. So having Material Files do it should have the resulting link have by default good permissions, owner, group and SELinux context.
