    It is a File Archiver (file compression) not a File Manager.

    V is an all-purpose File Manager for Windows.

    V is not just another Windows Explorer replacement. Its main strength is its inbuilt file viewer which excels at viewing files quickly - whether they are 100 bytes or 100 gigabytes in size.

    A Dual Pane interface (optional) makes it.
