Like other Explorer alternatives, SpeedCommander wants to make workflows more efficient. Users benefit from a file repository for quick access to frequently used files, as well as folder and application favorites. The range of functions also includes an integrated preview mode for more than 80 file formats, functions for simultaneous renaming of multiple files, and a text editor with syntax highlighting.
The integrated packing program supports 13 archive formats as well as FTP and FTP via SSL protocols. If required, you can access an FTP server with SpeedCommander and manage your files remotely, just like on the local hard disk. FileSync is a synchronization program for folders and files. Routine tasks can be automated with macros. The tool also provides a macro editor. Users who require additional functions have the option of implementing self-written extensions as in-process COM servers via an integrated AddIn interface.
In addition to the standard version, the file manager is also available with extended functionality in the form of SpeedCommander Pro, but this is fee-based. This includes a burning program for CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, a tool for managing image files (ISO/BIN), as well as interfaces to the cloud providers: Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive.
SpeedCommander and SpeedCommander Pro are distributed as shareware. Users can test both versions for free without obligation for 60 days, and are able to make use of the full range of functions. The full version is available from the provider’s website and comes with a fee.
