The latest update for Files, version v4.0.24, introduces significant enhancements aimed at improving user experience within File Explorer. Noteworthy changes include the addition of sidebar copy functionality and an autofill feature for new folder names, which streamlines organization tasks.
A major highlight of this update is the integration with PowerToys Peek, allowing users to preview files quickly by pressing the space key, provided they have PowerToys installed. This feature requires no additional setup, making it convenient for users looking to enhance their workflow.
The developers have outlined a comprehensive changelog on the Files website, detailing these updates and encouraging users to explore the benefits of integrating Files with PowerToys. This ongoing development signals a commitment to enhancing features that Microsoft has not prioritized, particularly as it focuses on other initiatives like Copilot.
