Simplify folder management with tabbed browsing
Clover, developed by EJI Technology, enhances the browsing experience by adding a browser-style tab system. By allowing users to open multiple folders within a single window, the software aims to reduce desktop clutter while retaining native browser features, including ribbon menus, navigation pane, and preview pane, while adding browser-style navigation.
The software introduces a bookmark bar similar to that of web browsers, enabling users to save and organize frequently accessed folders. Users can manage bookmarks through three methods: right-clicking a tab, using the Ctrl + D shortcut, or dragging and dropping folders directly into the bookmark bar. The software also supports importing and exporting bookmarks through HTML files, providing flexibility for managing bookmark collections. Additionally, standard keyboard shortcuts ensure that navigation remains consistent and intuitive, so users can open a new tab, close a current tab, and switch between active tabs using shortcuts that they already know.
Streamlined navigation and bookmarks for fast access
Because the interface mimics those of other web browsers, the learning curve is minimal. However, users should note that there are specific stability concerns, like Clover crashing during the installation process. Additionally, the software’s menu system can be difficult to locate, and some users have experienced technical issues where saved bookmarks disappear.
Focused and efficient folder navigation tool
Clover offers a practical way to modernize file navigation for users who prefer a browser-style workflow. It retains all original browser menus and navigation controls, reducing the learning curve. While it effectively streamlines multitasking through tabs and shortcuts, potential installation instability and minor interface bugs suggest that users should proceed with caution.
