What’s SharpExt4Explorer?
SharpExt4Explorer is a Windows desktop application that provides a sleek GUI for browsing and managing Linux ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystems—whether they reside on physical drives or disk image files. Built using Windows Forms, it’s intuitive for users familiar with traditional file explorers.
Key Features
- Graphic Interface: Navigate the contents of Ext4 partitions visually without command-line complexity.
- Partition Support: Works with both MBR and GPT partition tables, whether on physical disks or image files.
- Powered by SharpExt4: Uses the SharpExt4 .NET library (a CLR wrapper over lwext4) to handle the actual filesystem interactions.
- Lightweight Requirements: Requires Windows 10+, .NET 6 runtime, and must target the x86 platform.
If you’re looking for a straightforward GUI tool to explore Ext4 filesystems from Windows, SharpExt4Explorer is a strong candidate—actively maintained, open-source, and backed by the robust SharpExt4 library.
