macOS Preferred File Management Solution

[Graham Carter]

We have a NAS at home to manage all of our files, downloading, remote access etc etc

However apart from the native web interface file, trying to manage files is a real pain in macOS finder!

 

 

For the most part, I would run up Parallels Desktop and manage the files in Windows explorer (thats how crap Finder is)

That is until I discovered Forklift!

Am currently using the free version 2 from the appstore and am blown away by the sheer speed and convenience over finder!

Back to the reason for the post.... what file management tools do you guyz n girlz use in macOS?

I personally use Finder, it does everything I need it to just fine.

Finder does everything I need. What does finder not do that you need it to do specifically?

Its not that it cant do what I want, it just does it slowly... for example connecting and navigating to the nas is just slow

Connected drives do not stay connected like a mapped drive in windows, so have to keep re-connecting

 

Again its more about speed and remembering connected drives than physical functionality

I've never had this happen before.....

The main drive of this topic wasn't to troubleshoot but to discuss if anyone else uses other file manager apps in macos :-)
