Development also seems to have sped up since it became publicly available. I started using Files UWP - Preview months before it came out as part of Launch 2020, and it's grown a lot since then. I'm also impressed with how the app's development has trended. It's an ambitious task to replace a built-in part of Windows 10, and I think Aichenbaum and Luke Blevins, who are both project leads of Files UWP Preview, do a good job. We'll get one in Windows 10X, but at one point Windows 10X had three separate File Explorers, so it seems like a complicated app to replace. The Windows 10 File Explorer is so complex and needs to be so good that Microsoft hasn't come out with a new one or a major revamp in years. It shouldn't be too surprising that Files UWP - Preview isn't a full File Explorer replacement yet. These pauses have generally become slower and less frequent over time, and I hope that trend continues. I can't say if that's because on a beta version of the software or not, but it can feel like it's hanging while it searches for files. The app can take a bit to load file locations and folders at times. It looks great, works pretty well, and has a lot of the functionality that you'd ask for in a file explorer, but it's not quite there yet as an everyday tool for me. That's a tall order that Files UWP - Preview meets in many ways. Unlike some apps that are trying to create a unique experience, Files UWP - Preview is trying to replicate Windows 10's File Explorer while adding functionality and looking better. Windows 10's built-in File Explorer is a critical part of people's workflow, whether they're professional creators or casual users. Big shoes to fillįiles UWP - Preview has some massive shoes to fill. I've used it on my touchscreen laptop for quite some time and found both forms of input to work well. That being said, the targets aren't so large that it's awkward to use with a mouse and keyboard.
It has large touch targets that don't require a mouse and keyboard. It's also much more touch-friendly than Windows 10's File Explorer. Unfortunately, you can't drag and drop between these tabs at the moment, though I've been told by its developer that this is being worked on. You can open up new tabs to keep multiple folders and file locations open at the same time. It looks like what I'd expect a file explorer to look like on Windows 10, rather than a dated app that looks like it's from over a decade ago.īut Files UWP - Preview isn't just pretty, it adds features and functionality that many have requested from Windows 10's built-in File Explorer.
It utilizes Fluent Design, has light and dark modes, and has icons that match the rest of Windows 10. My first impression of Files UWP - Preview was how much it looked like it belongs on Windows 10.
