+- **Multi-Protocol Support:** Seamlessly connect and manage files across multiple storage systems including S3, SMB/CIFS, SFTP, WebDAV, NFS, and your Local Filesystem.

+- **Modern Interface:** A stunning, responsive dark-mode UI with robust multi-selection (Shift/Ctrl+Click) and sortable data columns.
+- **Auto-Installation:** For Linux users, downloads seamlessly integrate themselves into your application launcher with a desktop icon upon first run.
