Xplorer

The Windows 10 built-in File Explorer is decent enough: you can browse and sort through your files with ease, and the most needed inputs are within reach. Despite that, it's important for one to understand the relevance of third-party file explorers.

Third-party file explorers often feature some additional functionality to stay competitive. In that vein, Xplorer seems to be a nascent third-party solution to your file exploring needs: its browser-like layout facilitates working with multiple files, and the interface is nothing to scoff at.

Characteristics:

• Light and simple File Explorer alternative


• Tab-based design for easy navigation


• Compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS

Xplorer seeks to maintain a sleek look while not making any operational concessions. You can browse through your files and their contents, preview images, clips, and even documents.

Specifications:

• Development in Electron technology


• Multitab functionality for working with multiple files and folders


• Continuously updated for improvement

Using the app is not difficult at all. You can figure what it can do at first glance: it's but a light, simple File Explorer alternative, with a browser-like interface thanks to its tab-based design.

Owing to its development in Electron, Xplorer is an app that can work on multiple operating systems. The idea that it is compatible with both Linux and macOS — aside from Windows — is exciting.

The program is still in early development, so it's understandable that some features and missing or not working as intended. For instance, there was a problem with the "Detail View" file layout. Essentially, the animations appeared very wonky and funny-looking, and you cannot disable them.

Xplorer does have potential, and the tab-based layout is of most note here. The app is in its early development, and it shows — but as an initial release, it certainly looks like a solid base for the developer to build upon.
