• Life saving file manager................

  mtm66December 20, 2015

  Pros

  Recycle bin works! (xp) Multiple Tabs Dual Pane feature Built Network tools like FTP Connect. Zip and RAR extractor Additional tools like File Splitter/Joiner, Compare Folder, Text Editor/Viewer Run tasks

  Cons

  Found none so far......................

  Summary

  Editor's review excerpt "White and colored type on a black background isn't the easiest thing to read, and although the program is skinnable, this is only true of the outer portions of the interface." is not true - it's FULLY configurable, I currently have mine looking like explorer.

• So close....

  mss627February 17, 2015

  Pros

  Dual Pane feature (If it's so simple why hasn't Microsoft incorporated it). Built Network tools like FTP Connect. Zip and RAR extractor Additional tools like File Splitter/Joiner, Compare Folder, Text Editor/Viewer

  Cons

  No 64 bit version for Windows.

  Summary

  I'm sure there are better file managers but not at this price. NexusFile has been the go to File explorer in our datacenter for a couple of years now. My only gripe is that in a world of 64 bit processors how can there not be a 64 bit version for Windows? 8.1 doesn't even recognize it as an option relegating it to the (x86) folder.

• Useful features but don't throw out explorer yet.

  mss627July 21, 2011

  Pros

  Dual pane presentation. The ability to store directory locations. Useful FTP and folder compare functions.

  Cons

  Struggles in the UAC environment of Windows 7. Some simple explorer shortcuts don't translate.

  Summary

  This is a very useful utility. Unfortunately it doesn't complete replace windows explorer. I find myself still leaning on explorer when it come to file removal. Even when run in administrator mode NF has problems removing files. Many simple explorer shortcuts (e.g. select all) doesn't work in this program. Despite all the neat features I always wind up opening explorer during sessions. There have been updates that have eliminated some of the faults but there are still enough irritating quirks that keep me from using this program exclusively.

• A "Must Have" For Your Toolbox

  PJFTLMarch 11, 2011

  Pros

  Versatile file manipulation, view can be either a single or dual window, folder content comparison, has the ability to add files to an archive, and a great file renaming function

  Cons

  Some people may be crazy about the default colors

  Summary

  This utility has saved me alot of time by being able to batch tasks like renaming a lot of files with a single click and can handle a more than one condition for renaming. Being able to join a lot of smaller files into one for easier analsys and in the format you want. I had a bit of a learning curve as to what function was where, but the more I worked with it the easier it became and the organization made more sense. While I don't always use it, having the ability to have a window on the left with a view of a folder and another window on the right with a different folder displayed is very handy and time saving. Some of the options you can configure are things like assigning function keys to perform certain tasks, you can change the colors from the default colors, default folder locations (documents, music, etc.), your view of folders and files, external archive programs, and more. I've found NexusFile fills in a lot of the gaps Windows doesn't provide and for those it does, makes the use of them a lot easier to do. I personally have no problems recommending NexusFile to anyone and have recommended it to my friends who had the same needs I do.

• Works great

  ers2121January 22, 2011

  Pros

  Faster than windows explorer at moving files, even on my slow-poke.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  I like the ability to move massive files between hard drives, it did it quickly and without errors, unlike Windows. Also liked the ability to change colors in Options for files and folders, allows you to see at a glance what you're dealing with.

• Better than Windows Explorer (not saying much)

  mss627July 4, 2010

  Pros

  Dual window configuration.

  Cons

  Dumb color scheme. Not that much better than Windows Explorer. Difficulty sorting columns.

  Summary

  I don't know why windows doesnt allow multiple windows. This program allows two. Not a lot of features other than a few nice shortcuts. I'm not sure who came up with the color schemes but boo. It would also be nice to sort colomns without accessing the tools menu but hey it's free.

• Windows Explorer Replacement

  badbadbad911June 15, 2010

  Pros

  I am using Vista, and find this program much easier and quicker to navigate and browse around my files and folders. Also has an array of helpful features, such as: disk cleanup, one click file rename, FTP, plus much more

  Cons

  The design is slightly lacking, but it's the way the program works that matters, not what it looks like

  Summary

  I highly recommend this to anyone considering an alternative to WinExplorer

• Fantastic altnernative to Windows Explorer

  badbadbad911May 28, 2010

  Pros

  MUCH faster than Win Explorer. Nice looking GUI. Built-in FTP upload facility AND download facility. Extremely efficient Disk cleanup (built-in). Very fast to load.... I could go on and on!

  Cons

  Nothing really

  Summary

  This is an awesome alternative to Windows Explorer... you use it to access any files in your C Drive (my docs, my computer, program files, etc) - and it blows Win Explorer out of the water! It is super fast and super easy to use. I now mainly only use NexusFile when browsing through my files... it's much easier and faster than Windows.... AMAZING program, I highly recommend
