Best alternative file managers for Windows 10

Windows Report - Windows 10 and Microsoft News, How-to Tips -- 11 August 2017

9 minute read
Most Windows users will never think to try anything other than the operating system’s
default file manager. For the more tech-savvy users, however, the default Windows
Explorer just won’t cut it. While it’s true that the current version of Windows’ File Explorer
consists of a lot more features than its older versions, there are still some advanced
features that are missing. For this, the more geeky Windows users resort to third-party file
managers.
So how exactly does getting a third-party file manager change one’s Windows
experience? Well, when starting off, some of the features and conveniences offered by
these third-party applications may seem complicated, or worse-still, redundant. But once
one gets the hang of it, it can be near impossible to revert back to the default explorer.
Here, we look at some of the best third-party file managers for Windows 10. Ideally,
features such as Dual panes, History, Bookmarks, MultiRename, Tabbed interface, Filtered
view, Archive handling, keyboard shortcuts, FTP support, file viewer, Folder Size
Enumeration, Advanced File Search, Folder Compare, etc. are what we look for in a third-
party file manager. More importantly, we look at how well these features are packed into
the file manager, or how convenient it is to use them.

Top 6 File Managers for Windows 10

Directory Opus

One of the veteran third-party file management software, Directory Opus has an intuitive
and clean interface that allows the user to select between a single-pane or a dual-pane
view. The inclusion of tabs allows for the opening of multiple directories at the same time.
Furthermore, the inclusion of a file tree makes it easier for the user to navigate between
directories in order to find a particular file.
One of the most powerful features of Directory Opus is its search feature which allows
for fast and simple searching of files across the directories. Furthermore, it also allows the
user to filter, sort or group different folders and files based on their preference. The
provision of the preview pane makes it possible to preview files before they are opened,
making it easier to identify them.
Also, we all know how difficult and confusing it can be to work with multiple files. To
help resolve this issue, Directory Opus allows the user to add tags and descriptions to each
file, and also to assign other indicators such as colors, icons, and ratings, making it much
easier to differentiate between files. The software also supports metadata, and it is quite
easy to view or edit them.
Directory Opus also lets the user rename files in batch. Although often overlooked, this
can prove to be a very important feature. Also, with its inbuilt support for FTP, it is possible
to upload and download files without the need of a third-party application. Another feature
that can be very useful to a geeky user.
Other features of this powerful file manager include support for various archive formats
(Zip, RAR, 7Zip etc.) and a built-in image converter and uploader, and disc burning — all
tasks that would have otherwise required third-party applications. Further more it also
makes it easier to calculate file sizes or to find duplicate files. A final feature worth noting
1
is its ability to queue actions, making it easier for the user to automate their tasks and
improve the overall performance of their computer.
All these incredible features come at a price. You can download a free 30-day trial of
Directory Opus, after which you will be required to buy a license.

Total Commander

Total Commander is another veteran third-party file manager for Windows that has been
around since the early-90s. It features a minimalist dual-pane interface that is easy to learn
for the average user. But for a more tech-savvy user willing to learn its more advanced
features, Total Commander can serve as an absolute beast of a file manager.
One of the main features of Total Commander worth noting is its support of the drag and
drop method, making it possible to open multiple file explorers at the same time. Its built-in
file viewer makes it easy to view hex, binary or text files and also features thumbnails, a
Bitmap viewer, and an HTML viewer. It also supports tabs, making it easy to work with
multiple directories.
Total Commander comes with a built-in command line, making it possible for an
advanced user to perform various tasks using simple parameters. It also has a built-in FTP
client, another feature for the advanced user, that allows for uploading and downloading
files from the internet without the use of third-party applications.
Total Commander comes with a support for multiple archive formats (such as ZIP, TAR,
GZ, RAR etc.) making it possible to view and extract files without the use of third-party
applications. Furthermore, the user also has the option to install various plug-ins for file
formats that aren’t natively supported by this application.
Other features of Total Commander that are worth noting is file comparison based on
content, file synchronization and the ability to split or combine big files. It is also possible
to rename multiple files at the same time via the multi-rename feature.
Total Commander’s enhanced search feature is possibly one of the best among file
managers. It is possible to filter the list of files based on criteria such as size and in-file
content. Also, it comes with a built-in feature to detect duplicate files.
Like Directory Opus, a trial version of Total Commander is available for free for a certain
time period, after which you will need to purchase a license.

Free Commander

Another ‘Commander’ file manager, the Free Commander is, you guessed it, completely
free, unlike Total Commander. But that doesn’t necessarily make it any less powerful. It
features a minimalist interface that allows the user to choose between a dual-pane or a
single-pane view. And like Total Commander, it also fully supports tabs, making it easier to
work with multiple directories.
Free Commander comes with a separate folder tree for each of its panes, making
navigation between directories so much easier. Its built-in file viewer also makes it easier
to view images and hex, binary or text files. Furthermore, Free Commander has native
support for ZIP archives, and the user has the option to install plug-ins in order to support
other archive formats.
Multi-rename makes it possible to rename multiple files at the same time and its ability
to wipe files makes it so much easier to permanently delete files. One interesting feature of
Free Commander is its ability to create MD5 checksums, which can then be used to identify
duplicate files. Folder comparison and file synchronization are also supported. It is also
possible to split files without the use of any third-party application. This can make sharing
them so much easier. Furthermore, it also allows the user to easily calculate and compare
directory sizes.

2
 Free Commander features both a powerful (and more accurate) search tool alongside a
quick search tool. It also supports file filters, and it lets you use regular expressions along
with the files. Finally, a plus point for the advanced user, Free Commander also features a
DOS like command line interface that makes accessing and working between directories
and with files so much easier.

It may not have all the features of Total Commander, and some users have complained
about it’s outdated-looking and sometimes buggy interface. But that’s a small price to pay
considering the application is completely free. That is, unless you’re looking to install the
64-bit version, which requires a ‘donation’ to be made.
One Commander
Yet another ‘Commander’ file manager, One Commander is also completely free. But
unlike Free Commander, it features a more modern and appealing interface that supports
two different themes. For users who prefer the dual-pane view, One Commander’s column
view should suffice. Also like all other ‘Commander’ file managers, One Commander
supports tabs, making it easy to work with multiple directories.
One Commander comes with an address bar that shows all the sub-folders in the current
directory, similar to folder trees, although this could take some getting used to. It is,
however, possible to minimize this address bar, in case you find it annoying, and get it to
work like the typical address bar of Windows’ default File Explorer.
Another interesting features of One Commander include the history panel on the right
side of the interface, that makes it easier to navigate between previous directories and
files. It is also allows for creating a list of favorite directories and accessing them with a
single click. One Commander comes will all the standard features of a file manager and it
also supports built-in preview of audio, video and text files, making it possible to view them
without the use of third-party applications.
One critical flaw with this file manager is it’s high memory usage. It probably uses the
most memory among all the file managers reviewed in this article. But despite that, One
Commander is an otherwise well-built file manager that possibly has the most interesting
interface among all the file managers reviewed here. A definite bargain, specially
considering that it is completely free.

XYplorer

XYPlorer is a great dual-pane file manager for Windows. It supports tabs and each open
tab gets assigned a certain configuration, such that they remain the same even if the
application is closed. It comes with a folder tree on the left side of the interface making
navigation very easy. The folder tree supports highlighting, and also highlights the path
leading to the current directory, thus making it easy to distinguish between the directories.
It also comes with a Mini Tree feature which lets you see and navigate between paths and
directories you used previously.
One of the most powerful features of XYPlorer is its search function, which can be done
straight from the address bar. It supports regular expressions, advanced patterns, fuzzy
matching, Boolean logic and content search. The search feature can also locate duplicate
files and look at multiple locations simultaneously.
XYplorer supports operation queuing allowing you to define a sequence of actions and
perform them one after another. It also supports user defined commands, and lets the user
assign tags or keyboard shortcuts to these commands. The application also allows you to
assign tags to files or folders, making it easier to organize them.
XYplorer uses breadcrumb bars which show you the full path of the current directory. It
also has a Hotlist feature that shows your history in a separate context menu making it easy
to access any folder. The batch rename feature not only allows for renaming of multiple
3
files at the same time but also comes with a detailed preview so that it may be possible to
detect possible conflicts.
XYplorer comes with a floating previewer that comes This application also provides
native support Zip files, meaning it is possible to extract and add files to them without the
use of third-party applications. Also worth noting is the fact that it allows for undoing and
redoing actions up to 100 steps.
XYPlorer comes with a free 30-day trial period, after which you will be require to
purchase a license.

Xplorer²

Xplorer² is possibly one of the most light-weight file managers on this list. It comes with
an intuitive interface that has dual-pane and supports tabs. It also comes with an built-in
file viewer that makes it easy to preview text, video, audio and documents.
The organizational prowess of Xplorer² is what makes it stand out among other file
managers. Xplorer² makes it possible to group your files in a way that makes organizing
them easier and better. Further more, the availability of multi-sorting and the ability to
memorize the preview mode for each folder, so that it does not need to changed each time,
are some other useful features of this application.
Other than the basic file management features, Xplorer² also supports more advanced
features such as file shredding, file splitting-merging, and a powerful file transfer system
that makes it possible to easily transfer files in the background. It also allows for exporting
folder listings and has a scrap container which allows the user to store multiple files and
folders.
The application comes with an in-build cleanup feature that can find and remove
duplicate files. It also comes with error handling and confirmations features, making file
corruption less likely. The input field comes with an auto-complete feature making it easier
to enter the desired text.
An important feature of Xplorer² is its inclusion of an in-built text editor. This text editor
supports UTF8, Unicode and RTF formats, making it easy to edit text files. It is also
possible to easily view and modify the metadata of any file. For the more advanced user,
the inclusion of a DOS like command line should definitely be a plus point, making it easier
to work with multiple files and between multiple directories.
Xplorer² comes with a free 21-day trial period, after which you will be required to
purchase a license.

Best Free File Manager
Gizmo\'s Freeware -- 4 January 2010

Introduction
A file manager provides a convenient way for end users to work with file systems and
perform various operations on files and folders such as create, edit, rename, copy, delete,
modify file attributes, compare folders etc. While Windows Explorer provides a fair amount
of simple file management activities, a dedicated file manager helps you to keep things
unsophisticated and gives you various tools out of the box to manage a large number of
files at a time. File managers give you faster and easier management of files and folders on
your PC.
The various special features that I'm looking forward to in a file manager are Dual panes,
Tabbed interface, Bookmarks, History, Archive handling, Advanced File Search,
MultiRename, Folder Size Enumeration, Folder Compare and Synchronize, FTP support,
File viewer, File sorting, File splitter, Filtered view, Keyboard shortcuts, Easy access to
system folders and more.
So here are top 5 products that I've found after months of testing. Their interface,
features and customization are among the best and curated accordingly in each of the
products.

Notes
File managers that were written as 32-bit applications will generally work on 64-bit
Windows, but functionality will be limited in three ways:
Shell extensions (i.e., file context menu entries) of 64-bit applications won't appear in a 32-bit
file manager.
32-bit file managers will not be able to access the "system32" directory of a 64-bit Windows
installation; they will be deflected to the "sysWOW64" directory instead.
32-bit programs have no full access to the control panel.

The 7 Best Windows File Explorer
Replacements
& & , MakeUseOf

The best way to describe Windows File Explorer is “functional.” Sure, it’s got a few little
settings you can tweak, and there are several tricks Windows 10 Has a Secret UWP Version
of File Explorer Windows 10 Has a Secret UWP Version of File Explorer Did you know that
Microsoft hid a Universal Windows Platform version of the File Explorer in Windows 10?
It's not complete yet, but you can still check it out to see what's coming. Read More that’ll
make it work more efficiently, but it’s still decidedly more “Volvo” than “Mercedes.”
If you spend a lot of time in the app, it’s easy to become weary of its idiosyncrasies. Why
can’t you integrate non-Microsoft cloud storage providers? Why can’t you reorder the main
shortcuts in the left-hand panel? And why hasn’t Microsoft introduced tabbed browsing?
Perhaps it’s time to dump File Explorer and use a third-party alternative? If you’ve never
looked into what’s available, you might be surprised. Here are the seven best Windows File
Explorer replacements.

1. XYplorer
To be honest, if you’re looking for an alternative, you could stop searching right now.
XYplorer is possibly the best replacement for Windows File Explorer.
But what makes it so good?
First, it’s portable. That means you don’t need to worry about it not being available on
other computers you have to use during the day. Just keep it loaded on your USB stick
along with all your other useful portable apps 100 Portable Apps for Your USB Stick for
Windows and macOS 100 Portable Apps for Your USB Stick for Windows and macOS
Portable apps let you take your favorite software anywhere via a flash drive or cloud
storage. Here are 100 of them to cover your every need, from games to image editors. Read
More .
Second, it’s got a hugely impressive feature set that will appeal to both casual users and
hardcore geeks.
For example, the explorer has tabbed browsing. The tabs function like a web browser’s
tabs: you can reorder them, drag files between them, and even pre-configure them. The app
also boasts support for custom scripts 7 Simple Windows Scripts to Save You Time and
Effort 7 Simple Windows Scripts to Save You Time and Effort Want to take shortcuts in
Windows? Or curious about taking your first steps into scripting? Here are seven Windows
scripts to get started with. Read More , customizable fonts and colors, and secondary
sorting.
XYplorer has both a free and paid version. The paid costs $39.95 for a lifetime license.
Download: XYplorer

2. Directory Opus
If XYplorer doesn’t meet your requirements, check out Directory Opus instead.
It arguably has a steeper learning curve than XYplorer. While the previous app takes
many of its design queues from Windows File Explorer, Directory Opus introduces more of
its own style decisions.
If you’re prepared to spend the time learning where to find everything, you will be

1
handsomely rewarded. Features include support for synchronizing files and finding
duplicates, scripting capabilities, graphics that allow you to flag and check mark files, and
a customizable status bar.
Just watch out for the beefy file size. XYplorer is 7 MB, whereas the Directory Opus
installer clocks in at 50 MB. The final app directory is almost 100 MB.
The lite version costs about $40 while the full version is $70. A 60-day free trial is
available.
Download: Directory Opus

3. fman
fman is the least Windows-like app on the list so far. It’s self-described as “GoTo on
steroids.”
Perhaps the best thing about fman is its cross-platform support; it works on Mac and
Linux as well as Windows. If you spend a lot of time jumping between the three operating
systems, it’ll provide a sense of continuity in your work.
Nonetheless, if you’re a beginner, this probably isn’t the app for you. fman is mainly
aimed at software developers and other tech-savvy pros.
Feature-wise, it always displays the contents of two directories to make moving and
copying files a breeze. It also has an extensive list of plugins for additional functionality and
it has full keyboard shortcut support.
It’s free to download and use, but an update license costs $12.
Download: fman

4. Free Commander
Free Commander is the first entirely-free software on this list. If you’re not a power user
and you don’t want to pay for a Windows File Explorer replacement, this is probably the
app for you.
The app doesn’t try to confuse users with lots of features most people will probably
never use. Rather, it aims to offer an alternative solution that remedies some of the glaring
omissions within the native Windows app.
So, if you’re a first-time user, what can you expect?
Free Commander offers a tabbed interface, dual panels for easy drag-and-drop, built-in
support for archive handling How To Extract Files From ZIP, RAR, 7z & Other Common

and other compressed archives is simple with the right tools. Here is what you need to
know. Read More (ZIP files), folder synchronization, definable shortcuts, and even a DOS
command line.
Download: Free Commander

5. Explorer++
The second entirely-free app on the list, Explorer++ makes the cut because it’s open
source. That means the community can keep working on it for as long as they wish —
there’s no danger you’ll be tied to an unsupported app at some point in the future.
Interestingly, it’s also one of the most basic apps on the list. It looks the most similar to
Windows File Explorer and offers the fewest enhancements.
Despite that, the enhancements will lift most users to a new level of productivity. You
will enjoy tabbed browsing, the ability to merge and split files, and a display window for file

previews.
Download: Explorer++

6. Altap Salamander
Most of the apps I have shown you so far have focused on one computer. Altap
Salamander is the first Windows File Explorer replacement that makes a big push to offer
extensive networking tools Networking 101: Ethernet, LANs, and How They Work
Networking 101: Ethernet, LANs, and How They Work Even for modern users, the
language surrounding home networking can be a little confusing. What's a LAN? Why do I
need an Ethernet cable? Isn't it all the same? Read More .
Network protocols such as FTP, FTPS, SCP, and SFTP are all supported. It makes
transferring files over the internet exceptionally straightforward.
The app also offers support for more archive file types than its rivals. It can work with
ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, ISO images, and UDF images.
Altap Salamander offers one other unique tool: a built-in password manager How to
Migrate From LastPass to an Alternative Password Manager How to Migrate From
LastPass to an Alternative Password Manager LastPass is a popular password manager, but
if you've decided to move to another solution, you'll need to export your data. Here's how to
export your data into 1Password, Dashlane, or KeePass. Read More . It means you can
protect any sensitive or personal files using secure encryption techniques, thus stopping
them from falling into the wrong hands.
Costing around $27 (depending on the current euro exchange rate), it’s also one of the
most reasonably-priced paid apps.
Download: Altap Salamander

7. TagSpaces
I will leave you with something entirely different. Have you heard of TagSpaces? If not,
it’s worth a look.
TagSpaces is an open source file organizer. It’s seemingly targeted at light users and
people who want to keep everything organized on their machine without using a full-
featured file manager.
It works by adding user-defined tags to all your files. For example, you could tag things
as “Photos,” “Recipes,” “College,” and so on. You can color-coordinate your tags, then
organize them thematically into groups for easy recall.
Best of all, because it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, you can stay
coordinated regardless of which device you’re working on. The app even boasts
Chromecast support.
Download: TagSpaces

Which File Manager Replacement Do You Use?

In this piece, I’ve introduced you to seven different file managers. Each of them will
appeal to a different type of user.
People looking for a small amount of added functionality should consider Explorer++ or
Free Commander. If you’re a power user, check out XYplorer or Directory Opus.
Developers need fman, networkers need Altap Salamander, and if you want something
completely different, download TagSpaces.
Which Windows File Explorer replacements do you use? What makes them so
unique? Why should they be on this list? Let us know your thoughts, opinions, and
