With the introduction of Windows 11, Microsoft is taking a major step forward in streamlining and improving their operating system. To complement the upgraded software, they are also preparing to revamp their File Explorer.
File Explorer is an integral part of the Windows OS, allowing users to quickly and easily search, open, create, manage and share files between applications and connected services.
The upcoming upgrade for File Explorer will involve a major overhaul, building on existing features and adding new abilities that make it easier to find and use files and folders.
Microsoft has revealed some of the major additions, including a streamlined design to make it easier to search and navigate, improved performance and reliability and advanced filtering capabilities.
The advanced filtering will allow users to quickly locate specific files based on criteria such as type, name, date, project and more. Additionally, users will be able to group, sort and filter by other criteria, such as folder size or the amount of storage space taken up by a particular type of file.
Microsoft is also introducing a new “Send and Receive” feature, which will allow users to quickly and securely share files with other users on the network.
Furthermore, they are giving File Explorer the ability to display file thumbnails and preview documents and images. Finally, they are making it easier to access cloud services like OneDrive, allowing users to easily view files stored on the cloud and move them between PCs and mobile devices.
Overall, it appears that the upcoming revamp of File Explorer in Windows 11 will make it easier, faster and more reliable for users to find, share and manage their files. With the increased compatibility with cloud services and improved search, the new version of File Explorer looks certain to be an invaluable tool for Windows 11 users.
