Request for Filemanager

Dear community, I'm writing in hope somebody can help me fast or to maybe inspire somebody to develop a very basic needed functionality. I would like to have the possibility to use a filemanager that can access my NAS/Network folders of other computers on my home network. Unfortunately no native app supports Network shares or access to any folder outside of the phone, or I never found it. I use CargoDock, File Browser, Filetug and the respective"StartAsRoot" versions of them. No one supports network storage access. The only useful App that I found so far is the ES File Explorer (Android). But this then leads to another problem: Every copied file or folder (in my case folder with music) has an ownership and access rights of a specific Android user. How can I change ownership and permissions by an app? I know that by terminal access I can change it, but using a terminal on a phone while walking is the least thing you want to try, and not comfortable as every day use. ES File Explorer can do even this, but can not set the ownership to nemo... only to root.

TL;DR: - Need native filemanager as powerful as ES File Explorer with Network folder access - Need native ap for folder ownership/permissions app (could be part of filemanager app)

Does anybody have found sth like this? I tried Warehouse and Jolla Store but couldn't find other apps then the above mentioned.

Kiitos!
