X-Filer documentation
Guides to every part of X-Filer, with screenshots: the workspace, files, drives and servers, version history and projects with an AI agent.
Getting started
Workspace
How pinned folders and open tabs work in X-Filer, how to group pins into folders and how old tabs are cleaned up.
Separate workspaces in X-Filer, each with its own pinned folders, open tabs and colour — create, switch, rename and delete them.
Show two folders side by side in X-Filer, copy and move files between them, and close the second pane.
Open folders, drives, pinned items and recent places in X-Filer from one search box, or paste a path.
Working with files
Navigate folders in X-Filer, switch between table, icons and tiles, sort, show hidden files, see thumbnails and folder sizes.
File operations in X-Filer — create, copy and paste, drag and drop, conflicts, undo, Open With, Open in Editor, Get Info and Finder tags.
Rename many files at once in X-Filer — replace text with case and regular expressions, or number them with a name template, with a live preview.
Find files in X-Filer by name through all subfolders or by the text inside them, on your disks and on cloud drives.
Look inside pictures, PDFs, Markdown, code and text files in X-Filer with the Space bar, without opening another app.
See what takes the space in a folder — the X-Filer size map draws folders and files as rectangles sized by what they hold.
Open ZIP, 7z, RAR and tar archives in X-Filer as folders, preview and copy files out of them, extract them and create ZIP files.
See what was deleted and from where, restore files and empty the Trash or Recycle Bin in X-Filer.
Drives and servers
Connect Yandex Disk, Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox to X-Filer and browse them like folders — no sync client, previews, search and public links.
Connect SFTP, FTP, WebDAV (Nextcloud, Synology), S3-compatible storage, SMB network folders, iCloud Drive and WSL in X-Filer.
Versions and agents
X-Filer keeps versions of any folder with git in plain words — save, sync with GitHub, switch variants, download and publish projects, and hand the hard parts to an AI agent.
See what Claude Code or another AI agent changed in your project, compare before and after, restore a file, read and edit notes, and accept the cloud agent's proposals — in X-Filer, without git.
