New Update Files v3 app - A modern file manager for Windows 11; Tabs, Dual panes, File previews, Column views, Tags, Themes and more

[jackuars]

So this is what I always wanted with Windows 11 file explorer - tabs, dual panes, rich file previews, column views, files & folder tags, custom themes and it's all there in Files v2. Files v1 was great and with the new update, it's redsigned for Windows 11

It support windows 10 as well

I like the fact that when you are copying files it doesn't open a ton of explorer windows, instead condenses it into Explorer notification pane on top right just like how it works in Linux.

I love Files v2 because it supports replacing the Windows Explorer even with Win+E.

Great work

I voted Windows 11 Explorer.
New version 2.1 is so slow to navigate. Plus the site itself is making my cpu use >70%.

Interesting app. I'm trying Total commander trial right now and the tabs are very convenient. Great app although the UI is ancient. Might try this one instead since trial will end soon. The UI on this looks great.
Update: The app is too slow like mentioned by @shukla44.

True that, it's a little slow to startup (~4 sec), but once started, i'd have it running and don't open any new windows, since I just keep using the tabs. Tabs open instantaneously though.

Hopefully the startup slowness issue is fixed in future.

Used donation version of Free Commander for some time & very pleased with it, small donation gives you a 64 bit version - I don't use any of the MS default docs, pictures etc, they all on separate partition(s) away from Windows.

Yeah the file size is too large. I didn't realize since I only used store version.

Most of the time, I use W11 File Explorer. But for certain tasks I use Q-Dir.

Q-Dir 11.88 Really good quad explorer 4 files and folders

Q-Dir (the Quad Explorer) makes your files and folders easy to manage, either installed or as a portable Windows program. Fast and easy!
