A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to work with file systems. They are very useful for speeding up interaction with files. The most common operations on files are create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, attributes, properties, search/find, and permissions.

Typically files are displayed in a hierarchy. File managers may contain features inspired by web browsers, including forward and back navigational buttons.

Some browsers may also provide network connectivity, e.g. via FTP, NFS or Samba.
