Our typical desktop file explorer applications are written in high-level programming languages and frameworks. Those apps are depending on the operating system. It can only operate on one operating system at a time. Windows&, for example, has My Computer, Windows 10 has This PC, Ubuntu has Files, and so on. Any web browser will not be able to operate this old file explorer desktop programme. This file explorer is a desktop application written in NW.js that runs on any platform. The application is created using Web-based programming languages. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are examples of basic and straightforward languages. This programme is OS agnostic. As a result, it may operate on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS. It cuts down on time spent on development and training. The cross-platform desktop programme has basic features such as file opening, copying, and pasting, directory navigation, showing the current directory path, and windowing functions such as maximise, minimise, and dismiss the window.
