4Pane
4Pane is a multi-pane, detailed-list file manager for Linux. It is designed to be fully featured without the bloat and aims for speed rather than visual effects. In addition to standard file manager things, it offers multiple undo and redo of most operations (including deletions), archive management including 'virtual browsing' inside archives, multiple renaming/duplication of files, a terminal emulator, and user-defined tools. As you can see from the Screenshots its display is split into a left directory tree-view, and a right detailed-list view which by default shows both files and directories. There are normally two of these twin panes displayed (thus the name) but this, and almost everything else, can be configured to suit your needs. It has been built and tested on all the main Linux distros, using both current and older versions. Though it has a gtk-style appearance, it's not tied to any particular desktop.

Folders File Manager
Folders is a file manager with super clean and functional UI built around the folder tree. This type of file system navigation enables some features unique among macOS file managers such as expandable, rearrangeable Favorites or expandable symlinks which highly improve the navigation efficiency.
Folders has everything you'd expect from a macOS file manager, including multiple windows and multiple tabs, four consistently behaving file views, convenient access to your Home and iCloud Drive folders, designated sections for recent files, color tags, text tags, and star ratings, file preview including audio and video files playback, a dedicated Info panel with EXIF and other metadata, text recognition, and more.
More advanced features include Cut via Bin with cmd-X, powerful Batch Rename, advanced file conflict resolution, basic image operations, and comprehensive undo that includes undoing file replacements and folder mergers.

X File Explorer (Xfe)
X File Explorer (Xfe) is an MS-Explorer or commander-like file manager for X. It is based on the popular, but discontinued, X Win Commander, originally developed by Maxim Baranov. Xfe is developed in 2002 by Roland Baudin, a french Linux enthusiast. Why another file manager when many excellent choices exist already? Why not use a full-blown, animated, bells-and-whistles file manager like Konqueror, Nautilus, or Rox? Although all these file managers are feature rich and cleverly designed, let's face it, they are huge! If you're a console addict, a light desktop user, or have an older system, resource-hogging file managers just aren't the way to go. Especially since most file managers are Desktop dependent (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc.), requiring you to load all kinds of unwanted bloat onto your system. Xfe is small, very fast, and only requires the FOX library to be fully functional. Plus, it can be launched from the command line in a fraction of a second.

Fileside
Fileside is a file manager for Mac and Windows that lets you create workspaces of tiled folders for each of your projects, collections or workflows. The folders you need will never be more than a click away. And reorganizing them becomes a breeze thanks to the side-by-side layouts.
It was born out of frustration with stock file managers, and was designed to tackle the ongoing challenge of recalling where you saved things and repeatedly navigating to those locations. No more opening multiple windows, navigating to the right place in each one, then painstakingly resizing and arranging them just to start moving files around.
Fileside also comes loaded with further productivity-enhancing features like full undo for everything, previews, search, advanced folder merging, favorites, history, full keyboard control, compression/extraction, theming etc.
