Magellan Explorer gets Stroud’s highest ranking!

Stroud's Pick of the Week

“Magellan is a hot new program that serves as a more than adequate replacement for the standard Windows Explorer client. Enriva Development has been hard at work making changes and adding features to really make this program sizzle”

Pros: Inexpensive, superb feature-set, Internal Unzip and Folder Sync features

IT Reviews

“This is an example of a relatively unknown piece of software offering features which far surpass the better known names. For local file management operations, and particularly for FTP access in a simple, transparent manner, Magellan Explorer does the business exceptionally well.

It's like finding a powerful, DOS-based file and FTP manager that's somehow made the transition to Windows. And survived”

RATING: 90%

“Magellan Explorer is a very good utility the way it integrates several pieces of software into one”

“It is a program I am going to continue using because I like the integration and the many, many configuration options it has. I no longer need to use a separate FTP client, separate archiving program, or Windows Explorer ever again”

Rating: Very good

“Overall, this is a pretty nifty program that can make file manipulation easier, especially for the power user”

“Very useful and cool indeed”

“[..] It's not only a brilliant idea from Magellan's programmers but also a comprehensive program designed for customer needs in the new millennium.”

“After using Magellan Explorer 2.0 for several days, I feel I don't want to go back to Windows Explorer anymore; I just want to uninstall my current FTP program and get rid of my Unzip Utilities. The Web Style, Drag and Drop capabilities and Integration features of this program make you love it.”

“We cannot speak too highly of Magellan Explorer and strongly suggest that all control freaks grab a copy now and get back into the file management driver's seat. It gives the power back to the people!”

“If you're looking for the best Windows archive, FTP, and file management software, chances are that Magellan Explorer is the utility to choose. It has a nice, clean, and fully customizable interface that reminds me of the good old days of Norton Commander, but if you don't feel comfortable with this look you can easily change it so it looks like for example Windows Explorer”

"In the three years since the release of Windows 95, the file management system provided by Windows Explorer has remained largely unchanged. But in a networked world, the dearth of new features leaves one wanting more. Enter [Magellan Explorer]."

 "..The program is also chock-full of options for panel layout, hot keys, and file selection methods."

Magellan Explorer was featured on shareware.com's Newsletter after its release in August 1998.

"Il file manager che presentiamo oggi è senza dubbio uno dei migliori che ci siano mai capitati sotto mano. Se qualcuno pensava che il software shareware non potesse arrivare al livello di quello commerciale, dovrà necessariamente ricredersi. La cura posta nell'interfaccia utente e la ricchissima dotazione di opzioni liberamente configurabili dall'utente rendono questo programma adatto sia ai principianti che ai professionisti."
