Folder Hub
Folder Hub functions similarly to a floating Finder and cleverly utilizes the notch on your Mac.
When you move your cursor to the notch area of your Mac, a window will pop up, floating above other windows, and you can use it almost the same way you use Finder.
You can drag files into your workspace.
You can double-click to folders.
You can right-click to open the menu and sort items.
You can drag and move files around.
However, unlike Finder, to use Folder Hub, you first need to create a workspace that contains the folders you frequently access, such as Desktop, Downloads, etc. Once your workspace is created, you can instantly access these folders in a floating window format.
Advantages of Folder Hub Over Finder:
Floating Window Accessibility: Folder Hub presents a floating window that’s always at your disposal. There's no need to move current windows around, expose the desktop, or drag files manually from the desktop.

TotalFinder
TotalFinder for Mac users who demand more from their Finder. TotalFinder works like the normal Finder but adds tabs, dual panels, colored labels, and other features. Please keep in mind that TotalFinder is an add-on that gets loaded into the Finder when you launch TotalFinder.app. It does not modify your Finder files on the disk. TotalFinder is installed as a standalone application. But when launched it changes the current instance of Finder running in memory. I call this process TotalFinder injection into Finder. Due to the nature of how TotalFinder works, there is always a minor risk that TotalFinder might break with future Finder updates. Our entire team uses TotalFinder on a daily basis so we spot problems very quickly. So far, Finder updates have generally introduced minor changes. I am also a member of Apple’s Developer Program and have access to pre-release versions of system updates. I am committed to keeping TotalFinder compatible with Apple’s updates.

fman
Press Ctrl+P to quickly jump to a directory. fman remembers which folders you visit most often and suggests them first. This is so much quicker than manually navigating through directory hierarchies. Tailor fman to your needs via its powerful plugin system. Install plugins created by others, or write your own and share them with the community. fman is an alternative to file managers such as Explorer on Windows or Finder on macOS. You use it to browse directories, copy or move files, mount external drives, etc. It lets you perform these tasks much more efficiently than other file managers. This makes it extremely easy to copy or move files. You just open the directory you want to copy from on one side and the destination on the other. A simple keyboard shortcut then performs the copy. Unlike other file managers, you don't have to deal with multiple windows, drag files, or copy/paste in separate steps. File-related tasks can be carried out much more quickly that way.
