Having organized the content of our Windows 10 devices is important to save time when we want to access a specific data . Having chaos in the documentary structure of our team will lead to wasted time, errors, unwanted deletions ... That is why File Explorer is a fundamental tool in the information process in Windows 10 allowing us to easily manage and find it.
The file explorer has been developed as a universal application for Windows 10 and although it is already available for Insider versions, it is hidden by default. This explorer will have a minimalist approach, but will allow us to continue carrying out the traditional actions of the explorer..
