If you’re tired of the limitations of Windows Explorer, you’d do
well to try this free file manager, which significantly improves on
Microsoft’s underpowered one. For a start, it has a two-paned
interface, which makes it simple to move and copy files between
folders, either on the same PC or over a network. Windows Explorer,
by contrast, has only a single pane, and this often requires that
you open two instances of it to perform the simplest of tasks.
That’s just a start, though. There are also a slew of other features, including hot keys for renaming, copying, and moving files, among other tasks. In fact, NexusFile makes just about any kind of file operation a breeze. Want to copy only the path of a file to the clipboard? It’ll do that. It also makes it easy to archive files, add files to archives, and to extract files out of archives. Another useful feature is a built-in simple FTP applet.
If you’ve been frustrated by Windows Explorer, NexusFile may solve your problems. And given that it’s free, there’s no reason not to give it a try.
