So here are the Top 3 Free Finder alternatives – File Browser and File Explorers for Mac OS X which will make your work easier and experience smoother .

Top 3 Free File Managers for Mac OS X –

File Manager # 1 – Commander One

Commander One – Browsing RAR Archives

Commander One is one of the most powerful file explorer for Mac OS X and is a great alternative to Finder. Besides containing the essential features such as ability to browse files inside the Mac OS X , it also contains some salient features such as –

- Ability to preview the contents of zip files, so that unlike finder you can only extract the required content of zip file to a folder, thus saving Hard disk space.
- Ability to Extract & Preview Rar archives.
- Besides these Commander One even supports MTP file management & transfer which isn’t supported by default by Mac OS X.
- Thus, If you have an Android device you can easily browse and transfer files in MTP mode on Mac OS X using Commander One. This feature is even more essential for Windows Phones as well.
- Also Commander One even supports cloud storage navigation such as Dropbox, Amazon S3 in its pro version but normal users are fine without that.

File Manager # 2 – Moroshka File Manager for Mac OS X

Moroshka file manager is another great alternative to finder or commander one. Infact we found Moroshka File Manger more user friendly than Commander One, and feature rich as well. Some of the features we liked the most are –
- Dual Pane File Manager with a Chrome like tab interface so that you can navigate to multiple locations within a single window itself.
- Besides these Moroshka File Manager also comes in with a rar archive extractor and previewer. (Green Box in alongside Image).
- One of the most striking and powerful feature we liked about Moroshka File Manager is its “Quick Look” option.
- The “Quick Look” option allows you to easily view Microsoft Office documents such as .pptx or .xls even without installing the Microsoft Office app.
- Though, its not possible to edit the Microsoft Office files its ability to view them despite being only 4 mB in size in worth noting.

File Manager # 3 – Files Lite for Mac OS X

Files Lite App for Mac OS X

Files Lite is yet another easy to use File Explorer for Mac OS X. The best thing about Files Lite is it makes navigating to your files a much easier task due to its dual list view, We found it the most easiest of all apps we tested to browse and navigate through the files.

Besides this, the Quick View of excel spreadsheets and presentations already make it a great alternative to finder.

Some of the features such as Batch Rename, Calculate Checksum are limited to pro and not available in the lite version. But the lite version nevertheless will get the job done for most normal Mac OS X and MacBook Air & Pro users.

Click here to Download Files Lite app from iTunes Mac App Store.

So, These are the Top 3 Free Finder alternatives for Mac OS X or Alternative File explorers for Mac OS X, which are compatible even with the latest Mac OS X updates (Mountain Lion, Yosemite , Mavericks & El Capitan too).

Top 5 Free VR Video Players for Android –

App # 1 – VR Gesture Player

Really innovative Gesture Input in VR Gesture Player

When it comes to Virtual Reality its best viewed when it becomes more realistic as possible. VR Gesture Player is one such VR Media player which makes watching videos a great experience.

The most Striking feature of VR Gesture Player is that on open VR Glasses, you can use your hand to control the Videos as shown in the below image –

AA VR Cinema for Android

App # 4 – VRTV Player Free

VRTV Free for Android

VR TV Player free is a similar app to VR Player free but the UI is a bit modest, but the clean and minimalist UI works wonders when it comes to Smoothness in Playback.

Not to mix the minimal User Interface but it provides almost all the important features required to Play VR Videos like projection type : Flat , Dome, Cube , Cylinder.

As well as it supports 2 D Video playback alongwith the 3D VBS, and 360 formats.

The Best feature we found out in our tests was the “Fish eye” mode under the “projection” tab of video we are playing. The Fish eye mode splits any video in such a way that it gives the least concussion or strain to the eyes if the distance between pupillary lens is properly adjusted on VR headset.

The “fish eye” mode really made it great on our small-screen sized android device.

App # 5 – Homido 360 VR Player

Homido VR Player

Homido Video Player comes from an VR Headset maker itself and consists of various multiple features.

Not only it can play VR , 2D Videos alongside 360 Side By Side formats, but it even tries to project normal 2D Videos as 360 videos if the option is selected. The result widely depends upon the video type, but we managed to get a real decent 360 degree experience on lesser-resolution 2D Videos.

Besides, this Homido VR Player also contains an inbuilt web browser thus, you can even browse Internet in your VR Glasses or Cardboard.

The method to give inputs to Homido is dependent on Head tracking and thus requires Gyroscope enabled.

Not to get confused by its name FbReader is surely one of the best epub readers for Windows out there. FbReader hosts a lot of useful features which will make your epub reading a pleasant experience.

The most striking feature & which we love the most is perhaps its Distraction free viewer. Reading is a passionate hobby & various distractions caused due to host of different features inside epub readers make it a bit difficult to continue reading and this is where FbReader comes out to be the winner!.

Also, not to forget FbReader is very small in size a meagre 5Mb which makes it load easily on older systems and lower CPU resource consumption. (To open new epub file in your system on FbReader click on the second-left icon with a book & green plus sign)

Reader # 6 Adobe Digital Editions

Adbobe Digital Editions for Windows

Adobe dominates the PDF reader arena and we expected it to dominate the ebooks & epub one too. But sadly, Adobe Digital Editions failed to impress us.

Although , the Adobe Digital Editions is just 8 MB in size. It sometimes lagged while opening large epub ebooks. Though, the updates seem to be improving the speed & efficiency, we really expect more from Adobe!

Reader # 7 – Epub File Reader

Epub File reader

This software has the most clean User-interface we came across all the epub ebook readers we tested and we loved it. Also, the software also gets the job fairly done, except that it may sometimes mis-spell the chapter names. Apart from that the Epub file reader will also require .net framework installed. Though, Windows 8 (8.1) & Windows 10 come with inbuilt .net framework, Windows 7 users will need to download it separately.
