The standard file explorer on Windows is more than enough if you are performing general tasks, like navigation or moving data from time to time. However, if you need to manage files and folders regularly, then it’s when it starts to show its limitation.

Luckily, there are dozens of file managers to choose from, and Filedime is one feature-rich tool that may be worth a closer look if data management and organization is part of your daily routine.

The interface can be best described as retro and consists of a single window that displays all type of information about your data. While it doesn’t support double panels, as most apps in this niche, keep in mind that you can open as many windows as needed.

Then again, what it lacks in looks, it compensates in features and options. For starters, when querying a specific folder, the tool provides more information than your regular file explorer. For instance, instead of getting the total number of folders and files, the tool categorizes the directories as foldersymlink, sys, tmp or unknown, for instance.

As far as other features are concerned, the app is designed for efficiency and the Recent option allows you to pick up right where you left during your last session. Moreover, it features auto-complete for paths, supports bookmarking, lets you preview HTML/Markdown and supports advanced sorting.

Filedime seems like a tool designed with advanced users who have to manage a lot of data in relatively short intervals. It packs numerous features to save time and streamline file management operations, as well as bookmarking, so you can organize and access your files effortlessly.   

Lastly, it is worth mentioning that the utility includes 2 hidden features that could make operations even smoother, namely displaying the name of the right-clicked file above the context menu and toggling the indexing of sub-folders during queries.
