Professional file manager

File management becomes a real workflow.

When files are spread across local folders, networks, archives, servers, and cloud accounts, a single Explorer window quickly becomes limiting.

rsk.files brings these locations into one interface. Two independent panes, tabs, and saved workspaces keep source, destination, and the next step visible.

Work locally while previews, queues, and clear safety prompts keep complex file operations under control.

How it works

Two sides. One continuous workflow.

Open source and destination side by side, choose the right tools, and monitor active operations in one central place.

1. Open locations

Use local folders, network drives, archives, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive in either pane.

2. Manage files

Copy, move, search, compare, synchronize, or organize with tabs, filters, and saved profiles.

3. Control operations

Previews, conflict rules, the operation queue, and cancellation controls show exactly what is happening.

What you can get done

For everyday tasks and demanding file work.

rsk.files starts with quick copying between two folders and scales to reusable synchronization and search workflows.

Organize large file sets

Tabs, filters, labels, view profiles, and workspaces keep even extensive projects manageable.

Connect storage locations

Work across local, network, remote, and cloud boundaries in the same interface.

Find differences

Compare files and folders, find duplicates, and inspect content or metadata with powerful search tools.

Save recurring workflows

Save workspaces, filters, views, and synchronization profiles for the next job.

Features

A file manager built for much more than copy and move.

28feature areas

From two independent file panes to search, archives, synchronization, remote servers, and cloud storage: open a section to explore the details.

01Dual-pane file management
  • Two independent file panes bring local folders, network drives, UNC paths, archives, remote servers, and cloud storage into one interface.
  • Each pane has its own path bar, navigation, and views; panes can be linked, hidden individually, or switched by keyboard.
  • Window layout, pane state, tabs, paths, and views are restored, with configurable start folders and remote-session behaviour.
02Tabs and workspaces
  • Create, duplicate, pin, and close multiple local, remote, cloud, archive, and search tabs in each pane.
  • Pinned tabs are protected, and remote connections disconnect cleanly when their final tab closes.
  • Save, open, rename, and remove complete workspaces including panes, tabs, folders, views, and window placement.
03Navigation
  • Collapsible navigation with Windows locations, favourites, labels, drives, network resources, and connections.
  • Connect or disconnect network drives, open UNC paths directly, and manage favourites via context menu or drag and drop.
  • Localized system folders, full-path tooltips, and recent destinations keep navigation efficient.
04Views and presentation
  • Details, tree, list, icon, and column views with genuine Windows shell icons.
  • Use multi-level sorting and collapsible groups based on name, type, size, date, and other properties.
  • Configure columns, order, widths, and views per pane, while status bars report item and selection totals accurately.
05Selection and operation
  • Single, multiple, and range selection by mouse, keyboard, or selection rectangle, plus type-to-select.
  • Per-pane quick filters and consistent nested context menus for files, folders, tabs, drives, and results.
  • Searchable command palette and fully customizable keyboard shortcuts with conflict detection.
06File and folder operations
  • Open, open with, copy, move, inline rename, create folders, and delete through the Recycle Bin or permanently.
  • Clipboard integration and conflict rules for replace, keep both, or skip, with protection against invalid self-copy operations.
  • Inspect properties, calculate folder sizes with progress, and handle protected system items safely.
07Drag and drop
  • Drag between both panes, from Explorer, and from applications that provide virtual files or email attachments.
  • Transfer full multi-selections to local, remote, or cloud targets; Shift forces move and right-drag offers a choice.
  • Targets and permitted actions are clearly identified, with safeguards against identical or recursive source and destination.
08Transfers and operation queue
  • A central background queue manages copy, move, upload, and download operations.
  • Configure concurrency separately, pause, resume, reorder, or cancel jobs, and track progress per item.
  • An optional plan preview exposes provider changes and conflicts, while temporary transfer data is cleaned up reliably.
09Search and filters
  • Search from the active folder, optionally include subfolders and protected items, and keep results in persistent tabs.
  • Manage history, favourites, and saved searches; cancel or rerun active searches.
  • Native search is the reliable default, with optional Everything integration and reusable quick-filter profiles.
10Content search and replace
  • Search text across many files with controls for case, extensions, and maximum file size.
  • Display matches with file, line number, and context, then open the containing folder directly.
  • Replace text across files with a full preview and configurable backup retention beside the originals.
11Advanced search
  • Find empty folders and search archives plus file-system, image, media, and document metadata.
  • Filter by name, path, size, timestamps, attributes, dimensions, camera, media duration, bitrate, or author.
  • Group, negate, and combine conditions with AND/OR across text, numbers, dates, wildcards, and regex.
  • Progress, matches, and skipped items remain visible, and partial results survive cancellation.
12Duplicate finder
  • Find identical files across local and network folders using size, partial hash, full hash, and optional byte verification.
  • Filter patterns and size ranges, follow progress live, detect hard links, and calculate reclaimable space.
  • Mark intelligently, export, move, or delete results while protecting at least one physical file in every group.
13Checksums
  • Calculate and copy SHA-256 and SHA-512 checksums.
  • Create SHA-256 checksum files and verify existing checksum manifests.
  • Receive clear results for matches, mismatches, and missing target files.
14Archives
  • Open and browse ZIP, 7Z, TAR variants, RAR, and ISO like folders in dedicated tabs.
  • Open, copy, or extract entries and create or extend ZIP, 7Z, and TAR archives.
  • Support integrity tests and passwords, cancellable progress, and safeguards against malicious archives and unsafe extraction paths.
15File comparison
  • Compare one selected file from each pane, including across providers such as local versus SFTP.
  • View text files in a synchronized diff with added, removed, and changed lines.
  • Compare binary files byte by byte or launch a configured external comparison application.
16Folder comparison
  • Choose any two folders or take them from both panes and compare with configurable recursion.
  • Combine name, size, modification date, and content criteria, then filter by status and differences.
  • Run asynchronously with progress and cancellation, and pass selected differences directly into synchronization.
17Folder synchronization
  • Update one way, synchronize bidirectionally, or mirror across local, remote, and cloud locations.
  • Configure depth, patterns, size, time, checksum, and attributes, then inspect the complete plan before changes.
  • Adjust individual actions, resolve conflicts, and explicitly approve deletions.
  • Track progress through the queue and save reusable profiles with the last synchronization state.
18Preview and file information
  • Resizable preview window with separate cards for information and content.
  • Preview text, source code, JSON, XML, images, PDF pages, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and archive contents directly.
  • Summarize multi-selections and folders while handling large or unknown formats safely.
  • Optional Windows preview handlers run in an isolated, monitored process, with native rsk.files previews taking priority.
19Built-in viewer and editor
  • View and edit text directly, and open binary files in a hexadecimal view.
  • Load large files in blocks and fetch more while scrolling without keeping the entire file in memory.
  • Save, undo, and redo, while cached remote files are uploaded back in a controlled process.
20Timestamps and attributes
  • Set creation, modification, and access times absolutely or shift them relatively.
  • Change read-only, hidden, and archive attributes in batches; system attributes require explicit approval.
  • Preview changes, cancel progress, and review individual errors without altering unselected metadata.
21Links and junctions
  • Create symbolic links for files and folders, hard links, and directory junctions.
  • Check file-system support and target availability, and identify broken links.
  • Require extra confirmation for system paths and keep recursive operations from following reparse points uncontrolled.
22Remote connections
  • Add, group, edit, and expose FTP, FTPS, and SFTP connections as navigation shortcuts.
  • Authenticate securely, verify SFTP host keys, and see connection status with understandable errors.
  • List, open, transfer, rename, and delete remote files and folders, including available ownership and permission metadata.
  • Edit remote files internally or with Windows applications and upload changes back safely.
23Cloud storage
  • Connect and centrally manage Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive as native cloud providers.
  • List, upload, download, create, rename, and delete cloud files and folders.
  • Use an independent provider per pane and transfer local-to-cloud, remote-to-cloud, or cloud-to-cloud.
  • Temporary local transfer data is removed reliably after completion, failure, or cancellation.
24Connection diagnostics
  • Test multiple saved connections together and asynchronously.
  • Check DNS, TCP connectivity, authentication, start paths, and provider-specific remote or cloud capabilities.
  • Follow live success, warning, and error states and cancel diagnostics at any time.
25Organization
  • Create coloured labels and assign files or folders, then open and manage all labelled items centrally.
  • Build temporary collections from different storage locations and identify missing or unreachable entries.
  • Save, apply, and centrally manage view, filter, and synchronization profiles alongside collections and labels.
26Settings and personalization
  • Use nine UI language variants and configure startup, sessions, navigation, views, and columns.
  • Tune queue behaviour, conflicts, search, Everything, external diff, file associations, and preview handlers.
  • Manage profiles, workspaces, collections, labels, and shortcuts or reset selected areas independently.
27Backup and transfer settings
  • Selectively export settings, views, favourites, workspaces, profiles, labels, shortcuts, and connection definitions.
  • Passwords, tokens, secrets, operation histories, and temporary data are deliberately excluded.
  • Validate package version and compatibility, preview all changes, and merge or replace selected data.
  • Back up automatically before import, while a failed import leaves the existing configuration untouched.
28Security and reliability
  • Protect passwords and tokens in the Windows user context and mask them in diagnostic logs.
  • Guard against path traversal, archive bombs, reparse points, symbolic links, and critical deletion operations.
  • Run long tasks asynchronously and cancellably without blocking the interface, and always clean temporary data.
  • Corrupt settings do not prevent startup, and isolated preview hosts protect the main application.
Control instead of a black box

Control before every far-reaching change.

Transfer previews, synchronization plans, and replacement previews expose planned changes before files are written or deleted.

Resolve conflicts individually. Critical deletion, mirroring, and system-attribute changes require explicit confirmation.

Long operations run in the background, can be paused or cancelled, and never block the interface.

Local, remote, and cloud without switching tools.

Copy between local drives, SFTP servers, and cloud accounts without opening a separate application for each location.

Remote

FTP, FTPS, and SFTP with securely stored credentials, host-key verification, and connection diagnostics.

Cloud

Use Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive directly in both panes, including cross-provider transfers.

Try first. Decide afterwards.

Try everything for seven days. Then licence once.

rsk.files is fully functional during the trial. There are no locked tools or artificial file limits.

After seven days, a personal licence is required. It is tied to you and can be used on your own Windows devices.

An internet connection is needed only once for activation. There is no subscription or automatic renewal.
