An Alternative to Mac Documents for Organising Files

[Paul S4]

Hi

I am not a 'Techie'......so bear with me..!

I have been using a Mac for years now, but I miss the simplicity of the old Windows Explorer as a way of organising files and documents etc on my computer.
I just do not like the way that the documents Folder system works: to me it is not intuitive....obviously IMHO of course ...!

IIRC in Windows you could simply use Explorer to make a tree -like structure which made finding 'stuff' so logical.

Any suggestions welcome, preferably free software ..!!

In Windows I've been using Directory Opus for many years. It isn't available for Mac, but this site https://alternativeto.net/software/directory-opus/... shows some mac alternatives - how good/bad they are, I have no idea, but there are some free ones listed.

I don't understand what you want to do - do you mean a tree structure of folders? You can make as many folders and subfolders as you want in the Documents folder. In fact you don't even need to use the Documents folder, you can put documents basically anywhere you want.

Must admit Finder has always been nasty to use IMO but you can definitely do that.

The main differences between Explorer and Mac documents, as far as I can see, is 'cut and paste' , no right click for cut. Also easy to end up duplicating folders and files.

I usually open two finder windows and drag and drop stuff between them.
