Dolphin for Linux

Manage your files

Overview

Dolphin is a file manager designed for Linux that helps you organize and handle your files easily.

It works well with your hard drives, USB sticks, SD cards, and network shares like Samba.

With Dolphin, you can open multiple tabs or use split view to see and work on several folders at once.

This makes moving or copying files simple by dragging and dropping between folders.

You can customize Dolphin’s right-click menu with actions that fit your needs, such as compressing, sharing, or duplicating files.

If you want, you can add your own custom actions too.

Dolphin offers three ways to view your files: a classic grid, a detailed list, and a tree view for folders.

Dolphin also includes an integrated terminal, which lets you run commands directly in the folder you are using.

It supports plugins, allowing you to add features like git integration to manage code repositories or Nextcloud to sync your files online.

This makes Dolphin flexible for different types of users and tasks.

While Dolphin is great for local and network file management, there is no information about other platforms besides Linux.

Also, details about cloud service support beyond Nextcloud or security features like encryption for remote access are not provided.

Overall, Dolphin is a lightweight, customizable tool focused on efficient file browsing and management on Linux systems.
