Dual-Pane Principles

The Explorer splits your workspace into two fully autonomous panes. Each pane has its own history (back/forward), a location field where the storage and the folder path sit side by side (click a folder, type a path or browse), and a command row with New folder, Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename and Delete, the filter, sorting, the view switcher and the hidden files toggle.

Tip :Open multiple tabs in each pane to keep multiple folders accessible simultaneously.

Tip :Use the Tab key or mouse click to toggle focus instantly between panes.

Five Folder Views

Each pane shows its folder in the view that suits it and remembers that view with the workspace. Every view supports the keyboard, the context menu, drag and drop and rectangle selection.

Details: a sortable table with size, type and modification date.
List: compact names in several columns, to take in a large folder at a glance.
Icons: large file type icons laid out in a grid.
Gallery: big tiles with the name, type and date of each item.
Columns: one column per folder level, like a column browser. Drag the edge of a column to resize it.

Tip :The view switcher sits in the pane toolbar. When a pane is narrow, it folds into a single menu button.

Drag-and-Drop & Instant Transfers

To copy or move files, simply select one or more items in one pane and drag them to the opposite pane or directly into any visible subfolder.

Drag from cloud storage to local disk.

Drag directly between two distinct clouds (without filling up your local disk).

Smart Conflict Resolution

Ultra Explorer strictly prohibits silent file overwrites. Whenever an item with the same name exists at the destination, an interactive dialog gives you full control:

Overwrite: replaces the destination file with the incoming version.
Skip: preserves the target file intact and moves to the next element.
Keep Both: automatically renames the incoming file by appending a unique timestamp suffix.
