GTFileExplorer

GTFileExplorer is a simple-to-use file explorer written in Java that offers support for directory synchronization. It doesn't contain complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users.

It's packed in a plain and simple interface made from a standard window with an embedded tree view, permitting you to easily navigate disk directories to locate files and folders.

You can open files with the default application or another one, rename items, cut, copy and paste files and folders, remove any object from the computer, as well as view file properties, such as the date of last modification, size, and attributes.

By switching to directory synchronization mode you can view two separate tree views placed side by side, where it's possible to select two different locations to copy newer files and folders from one side to another until both directories have identical content.

Alternatively, you can instruct GTFileExplorer to copy newer files and folders from the left to the right location only, or vice versa. Apart from the fact that you can check the synchronization status to find out which items need to be copied, there are no other notable options available here.

The software program didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the machine in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. On the other hand, it hasn't been updated for a pretty long time and we have noticed some compatibility issues on newer Windows. For instance, it froze a couple of times on Windows 7 right after startup.

Unfortunately, GTFileExplorer is a pretty old file manager that has some stability issues with later OS editions. On the other hand, you can still use it on older Windows to explore files and synchronize directories.
