to Filebrowser?

I am looking for a file manager similar to Linux's Nautilus or
Windows' File Explorer. It should allow me to click and drag files,
move them between folders, and open a context menu with a left mouse
click. Features like playing videos and the ability to create or edit
files would be a plus. I prefer software that is not heavy or overly
feature-rich. In this regard, Filebrowser is almost perfect, but its
usability falls short for high manual workloads. For instance, it
lacks a context menu that opens with a left mouse click on a file. It
also doesn't offer a free selection area for selecting files with the
mouse. Additionally, every time a file is moved, Filebrowser redirects
the page to the target folder. This behavior is atypical and not very
useful compared to real file managers.

Try [Webtop](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop). It'll give
you a literal Linux desktop in the browser and it works pretty well
for me.

I use webtop behind cloudflare tunnel to access home stuff.
