File Management Comparison

Since I use both systems on a daily basis: IOS at work and Windows at home, sometimes takes a second for me to realize what I'm doing or how to locate files on the computer juggling from one system to the other. The main difference between Macs and Microsoft is that MacBook uses Finder as an alternative to File Explorer. I like File Explorer better and how easy is to follow a path to find specific files or documents. As organization tools both are great and can accomplish their main objective which is to organize and provide easy access and management of the information stored in one's computer. File Explorer in my opinion appears superior with the capability of separating files into default folders, such as Documents and Pictures, in a straightforward manner. This makes it easy to locate your documents in Documents and your photos in Pictures. However, Finder lacks this feature, and managing a large number of documents can become chaotic.

  1. I use both IOS and Windows as well and from my experience each system pretty much offers the same thing as the other. One is just a little more polished (IOS) than the other but Windows does seem to be more powerful.

  2. Windows is the preferred OS as it is user-friendly and has fewer restrictions than a Mac. I do use both but I like Windows more.

  3. 2.3.4 Windows File Management Facts took you on a tour through File Explorer in the Windows operating system, but you gave me (a non-Mac user) a quick glimpse into Finder in macOS. Thank you Ani ^_^

  4. I prefer Windows products over Mac. I agree that the system for Windows is much easier and is overall used more in the workplace. I use Mac for mobile but use Windows for every other system.

  8. Windows just dominates any other OS out there on the market. The closest to it is Mac, but Apple still has a long way to go. I speak from experience, there are always missing features that you just cannot find on the Mac system. Windows definitely has them beat when it comes to features.
