OpenAFS

OpenAFS, the highly acclaimed System Utilities software, is now available in its latest version 1.7.3100. The file manager, developed by OpenAFS, is designed to cater to users of Windows XP, 7, 10, and 11. The free download comes in a compact package with a file size of just 20.4 MB.

This ensures that subsequent reads are remarkably fast, providing a smooth and efficient user experience.

Noteworthy, OpenAFS is a part of the File Managers subcategory, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to manage and share files seamlessly over networks. Earlier versions such as 1.7, and 1.2 are also available for those who might need them.

Pros:

• Free Download option for all
