If there's a portable version of this I can run on my work computer, I will! (stand-alone version, it's so fast!)

The Windows built-in File Explorer is godawfully slow. Like, slower than I remember it being in the late 90's. Motivation-sappingly slow. But I think it's because my work computer has it's inescapable synchronisation to OneDrive, and so every folder and every file it has to scan for a thumbnail or whatever, waits for it's data from OneDrive like a happy little idiot.

Funnily enough, navigating a remote directory on my NAS from my home Linux desktop is blazingly fast as if the files are local.

Windows or the Corporate Environment, or the combination of the two, is creating so much overhead that it feels like going back in time 25+ years.

Also company computer: Built-in file explorer sometimes takes 3 seconds to display a thumbnail for a 10KB png I saved to a folder from my editor. I just don't get it. We also have OneDrive. Don't shoot the messenger alright but it really makes me want to punch the monitor.

People are gushing about a file explorer, what? Looks like there is a plan to force user's to pay for a subscription to there own local files. My $90 wallmart phone and hinky fdroid software is faster than than what is bieng described on current windopes editions. what happened? since my last windoze experience? linux on the laptop is ok, ancient laptop, cheap phone, that play nice with each other, random free sofware, does what it says on the label and more. Obviously my set up is not goung to work in a professional business environment, but then for professional users, hunting around for fixes to inadequate OS features, should be a thing of the past. tedious and somewhat embarassing that things are so horrible, now, still, again

Maybe it's Onedrive. My older laptop has Onedrive and dropbox (not on the same folders) and Explorer runs like molasses in the dropbox folder.

There seems to be one, at least the "installer" asks you if you want to install or have a portable installation.

OneDrive is an abomination. I never asked for it on my computer. It is infuriating that MS apps default to saving to it.

It is portable by default, no need to install anything, just run the main and only exe.
