SpeedCommander

Although the improvements in Windows are noticeable as the operating system has changed dramatically over the years, Explorer has remained largely untouched. If you are regularly working with files, then there is a good chance you are looking for a manager that caters more features and makes the whole process easier.

SpeedCommander is a lightweight, yet powerful tool designed to provide you with all the file management features and options required for these operations.

Following a swift installation, the program enables you to select a theme for the interface and here you have several Microsoft Office and Visual Studio versions. The interface is designed as a dual panel where you can preview and manage files easier.

The tool is quite versatile and hence, allows you to copy or format a disk, map a network drive, connect to FTP, use a built-in web browser, as well as customize the interface when it comes to toolbars, commands, keyboard shortcuts, font, and others, backup and restore settings, and much more.

You will be happy to learn that the tool supports some editing, which can come in handy when working with large chunks of data. You can rely on SpeedEdit editor to make minor text modifications, set and use bookmarks, transform text into upper and lower care, write protect mode, print preview or use the incremental search for the queries.

The tool is also suitable for code files, as it comes with support for syntax highlighting for many formats. At the same time, the app allows you to sort folder contents on removable disks and access system restore points and shadow copies, although editing here should be done with care.

The tool addresses the modern needs of file management and this is why it enables you to synchronize files and folders based on size, content or time stamp. You can make sure that the newer files are highlighted via Italics or Bold and use filters to include or exclude data.

Lastly, SpeedCommander enables you to access your favorite cloud storage solution without having to install extra tools. According to the developer, the tool is compatible with the widely used cloud solutions, including Google Drive, Dropbox, HiDrive, BoxDrive or OneDrive Personal access.
