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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It has a lot of functions—too many, by now.
  • This has the best interface and routine functionality of all the dual-pane browsers. After years as a sysadmin, there is still nothing I can't do with FreeCommander.

Cons

  • In the latest version, the available settings have become so bloated that it is impossible to master them. Reactions to a mouse click—or even just a mouse movement—are no longer predictable. If I can configure what happens when I click on empty space, the icon, the filename, the file extension, or anything else, and get a different result each time—well, that might be fine for gamers. But I didn't realize this was a video game.
  • If I had a choice, I'd go for an open-source cross-platform tool.
