Frequently Asked Questions
Is FileNav a good Finder alternative?
FileNav is a native Mac file manager built as a Finder alternative, especially for people who switched from Windows. It adds dual-pane browsing, an always-visible folder tree, an editable address bar, a built-in disk visualizer, and Windows-style shortcuts (Enter to open, F2 to rename) that Finder doesn't offer out of the box.
Does FileNav work like Windows Explorer?
Yes. FileNav recreates the Windows Explorer workflow on macOS — Enter opens files, standard cut and paste works, the address bar is editable, and a folder tree stays visible in the sidebar — so your Windows muscle memory carries over to the Mac.
Is this really a one-time payment?
Yes. Pay once, own it forever. No subscriptions, no renewals, no hidden fees.
What's the difference between FileNav Pro and FileNav X?
They share almost every feature. FileNav Pro is $29.99, sold here, and adds remote servers (SFTP, FTP, SSH), Google Drive and per-connection bandwidth limits. FileNav X is $24.99 on the Mac App Store, so Apple handles payment and updates and there's no licence key — but macOS sandboxing means it can't offer those.
What macOS versions are supported?
macOS 12.4 (Monterey) or later. Works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
How many Macs can I use my license on?
One license covers up to 4 Macs, so you can activate FileNav on your desktop and laptop with a single purchase.
Can I upgrade from FileNav to Pro later?
Yes. Contact support and we'll sort out an upgrade path for you.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
FileNav stops working when the trial ends. Purchase a license to keep using it.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
Do you offer enterprise licensing?
Yes! We're happy to accommodate enterprise licensing for teams and organizations. Send us an email at support@filenav.app and we'll get back to you.
