For many years, I have used the once well-known Norton Commander extensively. I am looking for an alternative. On Windows it's Total Commander (a great choice). Total Commander does not work on Mac OS. That's why I chose Commander One. I wish the features of Total Commander were also in the Commander One environment. Thank you!

Pros

This is a great piece of software, that can speed up your routine file management.

Cons

It lacks one important option - the ability to hide second pane, when not necessary

[Transmit 5](https://www.capterra.com/p/254283/Transmit-5/)

Reasons for choosing Commander One

At that time, Commander One most met the price-quality criteria. With the introduction of artificial intelligence into everyday life, the situation will definitely change.

Overall, it's the best alternative to s3 browser available in Mac os.

Pros

It's two window feature is the best among all other available file manager softwares. It lets you copy, move or compare files between two windows much faster and in an efficient manner.

Cons

The thing which i liked least about the software was users had to purchase the pro pack to use several paid only features like command line, preview file contents etc.

Commander One helps me manage my files faster. It can also put the files in queue.

Pros

As the alternative to Finder, Commander One is a capable file manager. The dual-pane default view makes it easy for users to move files between one location to others.

Cons

For those who are using Finder for the rest of their life, switching to Commander One might take a little getting used to. You need to build your favorite places from scratch.

Pros

The double pane view makes it easy to copy and move files and folders. And as a bonus, you can queue the process.

Cons

Sometimes unselecting the files means going to another location at your hard drive and come back. Maybe it's a bug.
