With the latest news of the new File Explorer for Windows 11<\/a>, I got to wonder about other features and File Explorer replacements are out there and was very surprised with my findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new capabilities Microsoft is talking about in their File Explorer app is the multiple tabs feature which is a great improvement to the venerable tool. However after a bit of research I realized that I have been doing work manually while relying on the basic Windows tool. I have been missing so much! Crazy !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directory Opus 12 WOW!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After researching what is out there, I came across Directory Opus<\/em><\/a> “The File Manager for Windows”<\/em> a tool from GPSoftware of Brisbane, Australia, and from what I can gather they have been around for years (can’t believe never ran into it before. I’ve wasted so much time). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been using the 60- day trial of Directory Opus 12 Pro for 30 days now, and I just bought it (paid full price – it is that good) — It is packed with so many useful features, Search, Tabs, Metadata viewer\/editor, Viewer, FTP, Sync, Duplicate finder, File Renamer and so much more… I am simply wowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active development and constant updates with a great support forum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now using it as my file explorer, and I love it. <\/p>\n\n\n
