Version 3.4 of Files is now available for download from the Microsoft Store. This popular alternative to Windows 11’s File Explorer has received several new features and improvements in the latest update. Users can now set custom backgrounds, remap shortcuts, filter filenames in real-time, and use Listary within the Files app.

Here’s what’s new:

• Backgrounds: You can now create custom themes. Go to Settings > Appearance and click on “Background Image”. Alternatively, right-click any image and select Set As > Set As App Background. The app also allows you to adjust the opacity of the background.

• Customize shortcuts: A new settings page allows you to change existing keyboard shortcuts.

• Real time filtering: Typing in the search box now instantly filters the folder to show only the files that match your search criteria.

• my list: This powerful search app for Windows is now integrated into the Files app. You can enable it in settings to get instant search results, rich context menus, better folder navigation and more.
