Files is a modern, open‑source file manager for Windows built with WinUI and Fluent Design. It provides tabbed browsing, dual‑pane view, cloud drive integration, file tagging and Git support.
Use cases
- organize and browse files on Windows with a tabbed interface
- manage two folders side‑by‑side using dual‑pane view
- tag and sort files with colored labels for quick retrieval
- access cloud storage like OneDrive, Google Drive, and iCloud from the file explorer
- perform basic Git operations directly within the file manager
When to choose
- You need a native Windows file explorer with modern UI and multitasking features
- You want built‑in support for cloud drives and file tagging
- You prefer an open‑source, actively maintained alternative to the default Windows Explorer
When to avoid
- You require cross‑platform file management (Linux/macOS) as Files is Windows‑only
- You need deep command‑line integration or scripting capabilities
- You rely on legacy Windows versions prior to Windows 10
