Earlier this month, Dominique Hugo, the developer of FExplorer, the most popular file manager for S60 1st/2nd Edition released a version for S60 3rd Edition. A few days later, Alie Lee sent me a copy of ActiveFile, another file manager for S60 3rd Edition. Interestingly, I just learnt that Alie Lee is originally from the same country as me, Indonesia.
So far, I noticed there are at least five file managers for S60 3rd Edition. The good news is all of them are FREE!
ActiveFile
This file manager is not as popular as others. I knew this file manager because the developer has kindly send the installer file to me. One thing that I like from this file manager is support of two navigation tabs. So, you can view one folder in the first tab and browse to another folder in the second tab. This is really useful for example if we want to copy from one folder to another. It’s pretty nice feature.

FExplorer
As I said above, this is the most popular FExplorer for S60 1st/2nd Edition devices. I am pretty sure most of you have ever used this application. This file manager has other additional features, such as compress memory, view running processes and tasks, display system information, etc.

SExplorer
As far as I know, SExplorer is the first freeware application for S60 3rd Edition. This application is developed by Simon Judge. One of the interesting points about this application is support of AllFiles capability. It means we can view any folder on the phone as long as we have the right certificate for that. Some other app

SysExplorer
SysExplorer is developed by NewLC.com, one of the most popular sites for Symbian OS development. One of the features that I like from SysExplorer is the ability to view various system information, like processor speed, RAM, machine UID, software version, etc.

Y-Browser
Some of you who are a member of Forum Nokia Discussion may have heard about symbianyucca. He is a guru of Symbian OS C++ development. Y-Browser is one of his cool applications for S60 3rd Edition.

@Cioco: ActiveFile is not signed, so you need to sign it first. Please read my latest posting about signing, http://www.s60tips.com/2007/03/21/signing-s60-3rd-applications-with-your-certificate/.
