About

Create a folder from a file, and put it back, from the right-click menu. Select one file or many in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose FileToFolder: each file gets a folder named after it and is moved inside. FolderToFile does the reverse: it pulls files out of their folders into the current one, from sub-folders too if you want, and deletes the empty folders it leaves behind. Dissolve moves a folder's contents up one level and removes the folder. It works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu with no "Show more options" step, and as a normal application with command-line options for scripts. One-off US$19.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a fully functional 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support, answered within 24 hours. Made in Australia; current release 7.3, September 2026. Need rules-based moving as well? That is QuickMove, from the same people.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ease of use and sheer depth of options for managing files and folder, the file renaming functionality is pretty much limitless thanks to the inclusion of Javascript support and predefined placeholder tags that can refer to most (if not all) of the file's properties. The file move/copy functionality provides great feedback on progress. No other file manager touches Directory Opus where power use is needed.
  • I spent weeks downloading over 12 different alternative file explorers. I tested the features that I valued most in each of them. I finely decided to use the 30 free trial of Directory Opus. By the end of the 30 days, I was in love and bought 3 copies of the software to use on my 3 computers. After using the product now for 4 months I don't know how the universe existed without Directory Opus. I can’t find the words to tell you how awesome this product is. All day every day I interact with files on my computer. Directory Opus saves me a TON of time interacting with my files. I can customize the interface to work with my workflow. With the old Microsoft Windows 10 file explorer I used to have 3-4 windows open all the time to interact with groups of files. I love the Tab feature in Directory Opus. I now just have 1 window open. There are a 100+ features that I've fallen in love with. I know it seams out of the normal to "pay" for a file explorer, however if you work with files all day long, your time is worth something as well. Directory Opus has more than paid for itself in how much time it has saved me.

Cons

  • Nothing much to complain about, though when I first purchased it many many years ago, the licence cost was quite expensive but latest prices seem a lot more reasonable now and it's excellent value in my opinion.
  • I’ll be honest there is a learning curve. But if you’re willing to read help files and watch YouTube videos you will be well rewarded with a customized version of Directory Opus that meets your needs and saves you time in your workflow.
