Foundation is the file manager: the list, the tabs, the tree, the drives in the sidebar, and every operation that moves a file. It ships in every install, free, and there is no setting that removes it. Turning it off would leave you with a window.
Ships
Tabs across the top, a folder tree down the side, your drives and pinned places under it.
Progress as it runs, a prompt when something is already there, and undo when you picked the wrong thing.
Delete puts the file in the Trash or Recycle Bin. Getting it back is your operating system's job, and it is good at it.
Also in it, and safe to list. Sorting and columns, in-folder filtering, Details and List views, selection and keyboard navigation, drag and drop, inline rename, the right-click menu, file properties, native file-type icons, opening a file with the default app or an “Open with” picker, recursive folder sizes with a treemap, per-folder colours, recents, and the first-run setup.
Every install has it. It is what the free Minimal bundle is — named there so the card describes honestly what you already hold, not because buying grants it.
An add-on is not sold on its own — a bundle is, and holding the same add-on through two bundles is never charged twice. See the bundles.
A fresh install hides anything below the default bar on this add-on’s Minimum readiness slider in Settings › Features. These are in the app today.
Nothing is promised here. Foundation grows by promoting what is already in the app, not by announcements.
Download File Manager, then pick the bundle that grants it.
