It has a modern responsive interface that has many advanced features to manage users, access, sharing, and file preview and editing. >This version is called "Quantum" because it packs tons of advanced features into a tiny and easy-to-run file.

This repo will always be free and open-source. >v2.0.0 is now stable! How its different: >FileBrowser Quantum is a massive fork of the file browser open-source project with the following changes: 1.

Many of these changes required a significant overhaul. Creating a fork was a necessary process to make the program better. There have been many growing pains, but a stable release is planned and coming soon. The UI: >The UI has a simple three-component navigation system: 1. (Left) Multi-action button with slide-out panel. 2. (Middle) The powerful search bar / title 3. (Right) The view change toggle / overflow menu >All other functions are moved either into the action menu or pop-up menus. If the action does not depend on context, it will exist in the slide-out action panel. If the action is available based on context, it will show up as a pop-up menu.
