Are there any free alternatives to finder? [closed]

Relatively new to the Mac world, I still find the 'Finder' not really that user friendly.

What free alternatives to Finder exist?

*I mean really file browsers, not application launchers like Quicksilver, Launchy etc..


muCommander is a free Finder alternative, if that type of application suites you. (Dual-pane Norton Commander like).


I don't know the good free alternatives, but PathFinder is the best file manager I have ever used, and probably one of the best desktop apps I've ever used. The features I use most

  • Bookmarks and multiple tabs
  • Multiple panes
  • Side panes with folder shortcuts
  • Drop stack

Most importantly, it's not clunky (relatively) and is very reliable. It was worth every cent I paid for it.


Here's some free alternatives

Xfolders and MuCommander are free.


Another free alternative is xtrafinder http://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder/
