FreeCommander is nice, it's the one I use.

Explorer++ is a freeware app that does it, though not integrated

There is a file manager app which looks similar to the Windows 11 one, but for Windows 10. It is also free and open source.
It called Files

I've been using this for a couple of years now and it's great.

I have a very occasional problem where Windows tries to launch some sort of non-file-system stuff in Files instead of Explorer, but it's not a blocker.

I use qttabbar, tabs are one of the many improvements it adds.

devpaul ,

I use OneCommander and it works pretty well. The dev just added a single window mode with tabs as well.

Dolphin has tabs, split screen, a real tree, plus a whole load of other useful productivity features.

The one I use for years and years now, something I cannot live without anymore: Directory Opus. You can costumize everything. It works with ftp. Moving files has its own transfer system which is faster then windows. It has one folder tree and 2 folder screens next to eachother, each with tabs. I've tried several file browsers, but this one is by far the very best. It took the best from all file browsers and combines them. As options, so you may have a totally different one as to I have, fit to preference.

Edit: a free alternative is Total Commander. 2 windows, tabs, just no folder tree.

I second Directory Opus. It's a very good file browser.

This is how mine looks. You can even change all colors (this is easy for the eyes). If you like I can give you my settings, as you can back them up into a file.

Interesting. Does it do file synchronization? They don't seem to advertise that on their site. Regardless though, I'd want to sync between 4 or five computers and the licenses for this thing start to get steep. That's my issue with software like this, many of us now have quite a few computers in our household and this is something that if you got used to you'd want it on all of them, but then you start paying like corporate licensing prices and it's just silly.

I didn't know it could, I have a 32TB NAS as a central storage. But apparently it does.

See This and This link.

Directory Opus not having a Linux version is one of the sad mysteries of the universe

I completely agree. I want to switch to Linux as I'm done with the atrocities of Microsoft. No Dopus makes it hard for me to actually make the switch, and I keep on postponing.

It's native in windows 11 fyi

... as is Windows Recall /s

FWIW windows 11 has tabs in the file explorer. You could technically also install a Linux for browser via WSL.

I don't really want to use 11 until I must, but I'll keep this in mind.

Clover is one... but you might not like the dev.

Hmm google suggests this: https://www.minitool.com/news/enable-tabs-in-file-explorer-on-windows-10.html
