file browser
Directory viewing application
A file browser is software that displays the contents of a computer's storage system, letting users navigate folders, open files, and perform operations like copying, moving, or deleting.
Windows Explorer and macOS Finder are file browsers.
The term distinguishes these utilities from web browsers, which navigate the internet rather than local storage.
