• macOS Finder is still bad at network file copies

  Forklift (https://binarynights.com/) and Path Finder (https://www.cocoatech.io/) are the two big ones I think. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Double Commander – Changes in version 1.1.0

  If you're on Mac, you might also want to try Forklift – by coincidence, they just release major version 4 yesterday. https://binarynights.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Total Commander

  There are couple which will have two panels by default, but in my opinion, ForkLift is very native macOS commander-like app -- https://binarynights.com. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Finder alternatives for performance?

  Forklift is what I use though never with that many files in a single directory. I know I have used it for ones that had 1000+ files with no slowness. It has a free trial so give it a try. Source: 11 months ago

• DESKTOP2 – A Graphical User Interface for DOS

  Heh, I've been there as well a decade ago when switching from windows to macos. Far manager was also the first program I'd also install on any box. I can assure you, this will eventually pass :) To be fair, far is also not a match to modern file browsers like https://binarynights.com (forklift), especially if you need s3 integration etc. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server

  I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing: - FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features) - Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/) Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Ask HN: Online File Repository System?

  Depending on what you're looking for, this is the kind of thing that P2P protocols were made for. Check out https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?

  We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background. https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement. Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ? I have used both for a number of years already. [1] https://syncthing.net/ [2] https://github.com/schollz/croc. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?

  I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/. After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup"). I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. Windows -> linux, linux -> mac) For windows I usually recommend - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
