List of File Managers
“A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to work with file systems. The most common operations used are create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, attributes, properties, search/find, and permissions. Files are typically displayed in a hierarchy. Some file managers contain features inspired by web browsers, including forward and back navigational buttons.” Wikipedia
In other words, File Managers provide a way for you to work with all the files on your computer, such as through Windows’ Explorer, Mac’s Finder, or Linux KDE’s Konqueror.
Not all file managers could be listed here, so for a nice comparison of file managers from this list and beyond, check out this excellent Comparison of file managers from Wikipedia.
