One of my top essential program that i use all the time. The more you dive into its features the more irreplaceable it becomes. worth each paid penny and much more.
[+] Rich of Feature: Built in Multi Rename, File Sync, Compare Directory, Search Tool, FTP, etc.... [+] Highly customizable [+] Big community [+] Lot of plugins that boost its Functionality [+] Portable version
Well, I used to think this was the bee's knees, and looked down upon people who still use Win Explorer for their file management needs.
TC is miles away from using the windows default.
But truth is, Directory Opus is pretty much the same number of miles away from TC. Too bad I've gotten so used to using it, because the transition would now be easier.
Look up some tutorials on that to see what you can do with DOpus to see what I'm talking about.
A single DOPUS Pro license with ssh and usb export support costs $110 US. Wow!
This is my choice for the past decade or even more, it has everything I need, it's fast, reliable, versatile - for me it's hands down the best!
The king of traditional file managers. It's a little hard to get to for first-time users, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more convenient file manager.
Used it for 20+ years, the software I install first on each new windows installation!
Total Commander has been my go-to tool for managing files on my PC since 2001. I use it every day, even on my android phone. It can handle any task I throw at it with ease. Total Commander is the best file manager ever!
I don't understand why people love so much this app. In the past would be good but now there are better GUI file managers and with a better design like Dolphin or even Windows File Explorer .
It does too many things but I prefer follow Unix philosophy "do one thing, well". For example to compare files I can use Meld, 7zip to integrate compressor, synchronize with (rsync or freefilesync), etc.
