Windows File Explorer is a decent tool — it gets the job done. But let’s be honest, it has its limitations. For a while now, I’ve been using Total Commander, and honestly, I love it. It’s fast, powerful, and just works.

Recently though, I stumbled across something new: Files. And wow — this one’s a game-changer.
Files is a next-generation file manager built to completely rethink how file organization works on Windows. It’s open-source, actively shaped by real user feedback, and packed with smart features that actually make a difference.

With powerful multitasking, file tagging, deep system integrations, and a clean, intuitive design, Files makes managing files feel… well, fun again. If you’re looking for a modern, polished alternative to Windows File Explorer, you seriously need to check it out.
