The Best Alternative File Managers for Windows, Mac, and Linux Chris Hoffman @chrisbhoffman December 27, 2014, 6:40am EDT Most people use their operating system’s included file manager, but many geeks prefer third-party file managers. Finder is the default File Manager for Mac OS X, but we found some of the features inside finder a bit cumbersome such as automatic extraction of zip files while trying to open them, lack of rar files support.

- ^Via multi-panel plugins or the ConEmu mod.
- ^Column view is called Details view in Windows Explorer
- ^Windows 7 introduces a Content view which shows details as well as thumbnails
Twin-panel file managers have obligatory connected panels where action in one panel results in reaction in the second. Konqueror supports multiple panels divided horizontally, vertically or both, but these panels do not act as twin panels by default (the user has to mark the panels he wants to act as twin-panels).
Network protocols[edit]
File Manager App For Mac
Information on what networking protocols the file managers support. Note that many of these protocols might be supported, in part or in whole, by software layers below the file manager, rather than by the file manager itself; for example, the Mac OS X Finder doesn't implement those protocols, and the Windows Explorer doesn't implement most of them, they just make ordinary file system calls to access remote files, and Konqueror either uses ordinary file system calls or KIO slave calls to access remote files. Some functions, such as browsing for servers or shares, might be implemented in the file manager even if most functions are implemented below the file manager.
