Jordan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 A new Universal File Explorer app for Windows 10 is in development File Explorer, formerly known as Windows Explorer in earlier Windows versions, is the default file management application in Windows for a long time. It has evolved a lot over time to acquire many different features for file management. Windows 10 ships with mostly the same version of Explorer as Windows 8 except for a few changes like Quick Access replacing Favorites. It looks like Microsoft is making a new "File Explorer" app, which will be a universal app like Photos, Cortana or Groove. The application can borrow the existing functionality of the Xbox app which looks as follows: Using this app, the user will be able to perform all the basic file tasks which are currently available in File Explorer. Operations like move, delete, share, select and copy items, set their properties will be supported by the upcoming app. It also include the ability to use various views for files and folders the way the classic File Explorer app offers in Windows 10. The application will respect the white or dark theme option depending on your system preferences. The app is not publicly available for download. It also wasn't be officially announced. However in near past, Peter Skillman, GM of Core UX for Windows Desktop has revealed that they are working on a major update to File Explorer that can be used on touch devices. Unfortunately, he has not shared exact dates when we will see these changes in Insider builds or in the stable branch. SOURCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the company hasn't confirmed that it's working on an updated File Explorer app since then, we'd advise you take this news with a pinch of salt, as always. " Microsoft didn't confirmed doesn't mean it's fake! i don't even see the word "fake" in that article! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
