That’s where “Files” comes in.
Files version 3.9introduces a Cards View layout that shows metadata for files.
When I upload images to Windows Central, I need to verify they’re below a certain size threshold.
The view also shows tag icons and the sync status of files.
The update to version 3.9 is noteworthy because of the number of changes it brings.
Card view, grid view, thumbnails, and the details pane are all improved with the update.
The app now supports custom shortcut names and DPI aware icons and thumbnails as well.
I handle a lot of PDFs and images, and I often need to drag them into various apps.
It has tabs, a column view, a file preview, and a customizable interface.
File tags and sync status for cloud drives are also displayed.
This new view replaces the former Tiles View.
Custom shortcut names
you’re free to now assign custom names directly from theCreate New Shortcutdialog.
Previously, shortcut names were automatically assigned and could only be renamed after creation.
Revamped Release Notes experience
Weve revamped theRelease Notesexperience.
The toolbar button that appears after an update now features a fresh new icon.
Finally, the Release Notes dialog now directly displays changelogs from the Files website.
Its now more noticeable, helping you update Files more easily.

Auto focus new tabs
Weve added a new setting to automatically switch to newly created tabs.
This option is available on the General tweaks page.
Improved Properties Window
you could now browse for .icl files on the customize page in theProperties Window.
Weve also removed the open and close animations from the breadcrumb, back button, and forward button flyouts.
Additionally, thumbnails within these flyouts are now loaded lazily, reducing initial load times and improving overall responsiveness.
Additionally, you could now drag files directly from the Recent Files widget into other applications.
Weve also updated our 7zip dependencies to leverage the latest improvements.

Previously, changes only affected new tabs opened after the change.
