Files is a modern, open-source file manager for Windows designed as a feature-rich alternative to the default File Explorer. It includes tabbed browsing, dual-pane layouts, file tagging, cloud integrations, workspace support, and a modern Windows-native interface. The project is community-driven, actively maintained, and aims to improve one of the most-used parts of the Windows experience.

For Windows users looking for a more powerful and customizable file manager, Files is one of the most polished open-source options available today.

I've been using it for a few years now. Asides from a bit of performance issues (which the team are actively working on), it's the nicest feeling file manager I've used. I strongly recommend giving it a go. And it's free, so just give it a try!
