The FTP client I heavily rely on for work
I work with high-performance servers, and after switching to Mac, I found Commander One PRO to be the most user-friendly and beautiful FTP client available. It includes almost all the features I previously used in WinSCP on Windows, and in some aspects it performs even better. It has now become an essential of my daily workflow.

No i Cloud support
I've been using this for some time to manage filed more easilly than the built in finder app. It works well especially managing data and my various HDDs etc. I recently wanted to sync and mode a bunch of data up to me icloud and noticed that not only is icloud drive not intergrated even the connection conection manage doesn't support it. I can connect to basically every cloud storage service OTHER than icloud. This seams like a pretty big feature gap especially for a core MAC product.

The Best File Manager!
Commander One PRO is exactly what I wanted/needed; a World Class file manager that is easy to use and has great fire-power. It does all the work of unifying my networked computers and allowing me to manipulate and access all of my files. I use it to see across both my Windows and Mac platforms, and to periodically play audio and/or video files on other computers. Commander One PRO was money well spent. I love it!

The best dual-panel file-manager on mac (updated)
As a long time dual-panel file-manager addict, I have had at leaset one such on every OS starting from Norton Commander on DOS. Commander Pro deploys nearly identical hotkeys and functions from NC, which gives a flat learning curve. On top of the conventional concepts from NC, there are some features makes me want it to run on all the OSes I am using; for example:
1. Mouting cloud storage: this is a must-use functions I found myself cannot live without after using it. Managing files locally from multiple cloud storages by keyboard without clumsy web-based UI is really a walk in the park.
2. Good CJK characters support: there are many apps do not properly handle unicode and have trouble handling filename contains CJK. I have handled a huge number of such files but haven't run into any problem.
3. Just found a super cool feature: Commander One is able to mount multiple directories from the same NAS, which OS X allows only one direcory to be mounted from a IP address. This make managing NAS much easier than native Finder, and so far haven't seen something similar from any other file managers!

04/11/2023After decades of Microsoft, I took the plunge and converted all my laptops and desktop data to a new IMAC. MAC Migration Assistant is seriously lacking in execution and directions. After wasting way too many hours undoing the migration mess, I decided to move my data the old fashioned way with an external SSD. MAC split screen would work for what I was trying to do but just really didn't give the visibility I needed. I found Commander One and it just really nailed it! This is what I needed, exactly. If you have a MAC, you need this, you really need this. I am now sailing through transitioning over 24 years of data and having the ability to organize on the fly. sourceforge.net
