FileExplorer is a two-panel file manager for SteamOS Gaming Mode and Decky Loader.

  • Browse local disks, mounted shares and SMB connections with controller controls.
  • Discover SMB servers, browse ZIP/RAR/7z/TAR archives and copy selected contents.
  • Keep copies and extraction running in background systemd services, with speed and progress notifications.
  • Edit text without reformatting it, select/copy text with the controller and use R3 to reach the toolbar.
  • Preview BMP, PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP images, including pictures inside archives.
  • Choose accent colors, opacity and text size. Empty Trash with an explicit Desktop Mode warning.
  • Check stable GitHub releases in Update, verify the download and confirm installation in Decky.
  • Receive an update notice once per OS boot. Disable automatic checks in Settings if preferred.

Install the attached FileExplorer plugin ZIP through Decky's Developer settings. Source-code archives are not installable plugin packages.

Existing settings, saved connections and running background transfers are preserved by plugin updates. Rebooting the OS still interrupts transfers.
