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

  • The UI is pretty. When you need to use the UI, which really only when you need to configure it, it works well for the most part.
  • Like the brochure says, you can control multiple pcs with one monitor, one keyboard and mouse. I normally have 4 pcs running all at the same time. One for downloading stuff. Another for gaming. 1 for business stuff. And 1 for personal stuff. Before I got Multiplicity, I would have a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse for each PC. Suffice to say, it was a mess. All the wires and connections. Pain.

Cons

  • * The thing is very unstable. It seems to have a hard time deciding when it should connect to another machine. * Often disconnects on the 2nd machine even though in the fancy UI it says it can connect. * Using the audio broadcast feature, this often disconnects too. Imagine watching a video or something and the audio just randomly cuts out. The worst of all of this is there is ZERO feedback from the tool. Which is really baffling really. Why wouldn't they have some kind of connection console, some connection log that can be displayed to see the status of the connection? It is as if they just don't care about the users, just their money. There is little to no support. On their forums people complain about the issues too and it's all "your fault". "Oh must be a problem with your network", etc.
  • The wifi connections break off every now and then. I use Multiplicity with 4 pcs. 2 mini pcs, 1 desktop and 1 laptop. 2 pcs are linked via ethernet. The other 2 wifi. Wifi needs to be relinked via the software every now and then. No big deal since the benefit of only having one monitor, one wired keyboard and one wireless mouse to share amongst 4 pcs is worth the small hassle.
