Install Konqueror in Ubuntu and you’ll get an arguably better file manager. You can easily install it from the command line using:
sudo apt-get install konqueror
If you find a need for a tabbed file manager, Konqueror steps up to the plate.
It also scores a double with the integrated web browser. While the browser’s not always perfect, it’s there as a convenience to me and usually renders quite nicely. Web pages appear on their own tabs.
Another score for Konqueror is the bookmark toolbar.
Konqueror can take it into overtime with the “View Most Visited” feature, found under the View menu.
Additionally, a feature I enjoy is the customized wallpaper for the browser windows. We are able to select any image file.
It also allows us to execute a shell command in the current folder, by using the Control-E key.
It also allows us to miraculously split the view, both vertically and horizontally. TRY IT!
I suggest installing Konqueror if Nautilus leaves you feeling disappointed.

new to ubuntu-have been searching for hours on trying to go to LAUnch konqueror-have installed it-can’t find it-help!!
I’ve been hooked on Konqueror for awhile, I can browse my hard-drive, a web page, an open picture or text document all within the tabs of one master program. It also has an alternate way to access and launch your programs….can get/view man files…..its the total kubuntu swiss army knife off file management. Dolphin to me is just an unused file on my ‘puter. Peace out dudes.

[...] is the best file manager on any platform. If you’re new to my blog, I’ve written about Konqueror before. While it lacks Breadcrumb Navigation, it’s more capable in regards to other features. [...]
