I am looking for a file manager similar to Linux’s Nautilus or Windows’ File Explorer. It should allow me to click and drag files, move them between folders, and open a context menu with a left mouse click. Features like playing videos and the ability to create or edit files would be a plus. I prefer software that is not heavy or overly feature-rich. In this regard, Filebrowser is almost perfect, but its usability falls short for high manual workloads. For instance, it lacks a context menu that opens with a left mouse click on a file. It also doesn’t offer a free selection area for selecting files with the mouse. Additionally, every time a file is moved, Filebrowser redirects the page to the target folder. This behavior is atypical and not very useful compared to real file managers.
Thunar or Pcmanfm are pretty good. They support pretty much all of the dbus calls(drag drop etc.). Only thing they lack is the support for GOA(GnomeOnlineAccounts a synch tool for common drives). Other than that they are on par with Nautilus feature wise. I think they are slightly faster too and allow custom commands.
I don’t know a file manager with video player included. You can download mpv. It’s a pretty lightweight video player.
Try Webtop. It’ll give you a literal Linux desktop in the browser and it works pretty well for me.
