  ### 4. Awesome Finder Replacement

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John B. | Director of Digital Strategy, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2020

**What do you like best about PathFinder?**

Super loaded with functionality, copy que, dual pane, synchronize, preview.  Everything one can expect in a file manager replacement.  Also constant new functions are added making upgrading versions worthwhile most of the time. I also like the fact that I can get a command line prompt right inside of PathFinder for CL operations.

**What do you dislike about PathFinder?**

There is really not much to dislike. I would like to see a quicker way to match up left and right windows to facilitate common copy actions.  I would like to see direct integration with online storage solutions like DropbBox, Box, OneDrive.

**What problems is PathFinder solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Search doesn't work with mapped web services like pcloud.com.  I would like to be able to use the search function with pcloud.com and it just doesn't work even pcloud.com is showing as a standard drive on my oS.  Regardless, pathfinder has saved me a ton of time over the almost 10 years I have been using it.
