no having one useless app called 'google' doesn't count, but I'm sure we will see more of that monopoly being dragged to courts soon enough, 2.7bn for the previous case of market monopoly which was quite recently, the next year surely more to come if they don't change that attitude. Only if Google ever supported Windows store in the first place like most social/communication services do. See in the Windows Store (opens in new tab) Metro Commander Pro It supports the things you'd want in a file explorer such as launching EXE files, copy and paste, and other basic features, but it's biggest drawback is that you'll still have to use the built-in Windows file explorer from time to time. Overall, the app is well built and responds quickly. This ultimately makes it easy to jump to files on your PC but means you have to take the time to set it up. You can click a plus icon to add any folder or file location to your set of favorites. This is disappointing because the app feels very well spaced when you're already in a folder but feels crowded when you have to keep popping open menus.Īnother interesting choice is that Files&Folders Pro has multiple options that just take you to the built-in file explorer for Windows. This design choice means you have to take an extra step to get anywhere in the app.The recent option speeds this up slightly but it also pops open another menu.

You can customize this area to include any file location you'd like. To get to file categories you just click navigation and a menu expands out. Rather than having file categories such as music and videos on the left, Files&Folders Pro has navigation, recent, browse, and refresh.

The downside of the app is that it makes you take some extra steps to jump between files. Again, there is a slight delay when loading files based online but it's not enough to be an annoyance. The app supports OneDrive and Dropbox, which make your cloud based files as easy to access as anything stored natively on the computer. It is customizable with themes and background images and has the option to have the background come from Bing's image of the day, a nice touch. It also helps the app scale well when resizing it. The app is well spaced out, which helps it not feel crowded when browsing through files. Next up is Files&Folders Pro which is available for $7.99 (opens in new tab).
