If you're looking for a modern alternative to File Explorer on Windows 11, Files is the app to try. Known as Files App in the Microsoft Store, this open-source file manager offers a sleek, intuitive experience that is arguably better than the default file manager in both functionality and user experience.
Files delivers a clean, tabbed interface with familiar elements like a left navigation pane, address bar, toolbar, and built-in search. However, it goes further by introducing powerful features tailored for advanced file management. For instance, "Split View" allows you to open two folders side by side within the same window, while a "Tags" system helps you organize files more efficiently.
