Nice article. I’ve tried all of them and found Directory Opus to be the most competent and best of them all. So I bought it. Just a note, the developer is Australian and so is the price – Australian $85. I paid US$53.

Powerdesk Pro for sure. You can do a search for file content and see it in context. E.g You want to search your docs for “marketing principles”. You can shoose to have about 10 words either side of your search come up as well.

I use a file manager a lot. Most of the tasks are routine. I like access to more than one folder at once. The visual prop helps me. Built in FTP seems obvious and necessary. Tabs is a natural for multiple folders. Most of these file managers simplify tasks by smart design and clever integration.
XYplorer wins over xplorer2 with its powerful info bar, catalog, adaptability, speed and stability.
Xplorer2 pro comes a very close second – fast clean and full featured – pretty well no learning curve (and its got scraps which is a great tool).

Honestly – all these people saying they don’t need alternative file managers are just wasting space and creating white noise for people that really wnat to hear about them. Why post a comment under ANY ‘best of’ list of you don’t use the app/function being discussed? I don’t know if it’s an attempt to be ‘old school’ or ‘zen’ but in reality it’s pointless. For my vote – XYPlorer has so many advanced features that it is a real time saver, even if the elarning curve is steep.
