When Microsoft released Windows 8, there were quite a lot of new features including the metro UI start screen, task manager, new Windows Explorer, Windows Store etc. But one thing probably Microsoft missed out was the addition of a metro UI File explorer. Although the normal file explorer was added with features like ribbon interface, a metro UI style file explorer was needed.
There are many alternatives available in the Windows store like Metro Commander, My Computer+, Immersive Explorer and New File Manager. Now we have another useful file explorer app for Windows 8 from EaseUS. EaseUS FileManager is a freeware app for Windows 8, with capability of easily managing your folders or files such as viewing, copying, etc.
When you open the app, it populates easy access for common folders like pictures, music, videos etc. You can set any folder as favorite for quick access. There is also list of recently accessed folders.
