Spacedrive is a modern, cross-platform file manager available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It features a Virtual Distributed File System (VDFS) for synchronized file management across instances on a network. While still in alpha and experiencing some stability issues, Spacedrive offers tools like Libraries, Locations, and Spacedrop for file sharing, making it a promising option despite its current limitations.

<p>I gave it a try and the performance was fine for my minimal testing. I did do a few things to induce crashes, however. Still in alpha with a beta planned for this month so I’ll maybe check it out when they have it at 1.0</p>


<p>I tested it months ago and it was so laggy (on a modern KDE Neon laptop) that I had to go back to Dolphin. I hope is fixed now.</p>
