This is how Windows Explorer should be: free One Commander got an update

The third-party file manager One Commander has been in development for a long time, and development of its third version, still in beta testing, began in January 2020. However, with one of the recent updates, this utility began to gain popularity on the Internet, and this is not surprising: roughly speaking, One Commander is an improved version of the standard “Explorer” from Windows 10 with various functions for advanced users. In addition, the program is distributed free of charge and without ads.

One cannot directly compare One Commander with “Explorer”, because they have completely different designs and capabilities. If the standard file manager in Windows 10 is minimalistic and simplified as much as possible for ordinary users, then this third-party utility is a real combine.
