    Commander One is a reliable dual-pane file manager that shines with archives. It easily opens ZIP, RAR, and other formats that macOS can’t handle natively.

Comment summary: Commander One is praised for its Mac-like user interface and effective dual-pane design, making file management more convenient. Users appreciate its compatibility with cloud services and its ability to manage compressed files efficiently. However, some criticize the strange hotkeys, limited license policy, and lack of features like batch rename. Concerns have been raised about frequent errors, poor usability, and refund issues, leading some to prefer alternatives like PathFinder or Double Commander due to added features.

Commander One allows you to search for names and content, only in subfolders, even using regex. No location column in search results, though.

Frequent errors and poor usability. Bought the software for 50$ and they rejected the refund I requested after 1 day. They advertised a money back guarantee, now my lawyer will get my money back.

As a designer, Commander One has been a game changer for managing my projects. Its dual-pane interface makes navigating files a breeze, and the customization options let me tailor it to my workflow. Truly a must-have for staying organized and efficient.

I'm quite happy with UI of Commander One. I like the simplicity of management of my MAC files. Also nicely integrates with Box and OneDrive if required which makes it so easy to work with. Can't function without it anymore.
