file managers

Folder navigation software

File managers are software applications for navigating, organizing, and manipulating files and folders on a computer.

They display directory structures and let users copy, move, rename, delete, and open files.

Windows Explorer and macOS Finder are built-in file managers; third-party options offer additional features like dual-pane views or batch renaming: I switched to a different file manager for better FTP support.
