Another month, another big update for the Files app, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 10 and 11.
A little less than one month since the last update, Files received another big feature update. This third-party file manager offers a tremendous amount of advanced features, and with version 3.7, it gets even more.
Files 3.7 introduces quite a lot of significant changes, such as improved navigation, better address bar breadcrumbs, file compressing improvements and more. Here are the highlights.
Turn off tray icon. You can finally toggle off the Files icon in the tray area. Head to Settings> Advanced Settings to hide it.
Navigation improvements. First, Files can now switch the focus to your current tab if the location that you try to open from an external process (such as another application) is already open in Files. Also, you can right-click the back and forward buttons on the toolbar to display the navigation history, i.e., recently viewed folders. If you have a tablet or touchscreen-enabled laptop, tap and hold the button to view the history.
Better breadcrumbs now display folder icons when pressing arrow buttons in the address bar.
Home button. You can now have a Home button on the toolbar for quick navigation.
