Tabs and side-by-side panes
Open as many tabs as you need, then send any tab into split view from its right-click menu. Drag between the two panes to move files without a second window.
Version 1.0 for Apple Silicon
Windows Explorer speed, native on your Mac.
Mac Explorer puts a real path bar, cut & paste, tabs, dual panes and your work OneDrive in a single window — so files go where you want them without the Finder detour.
