Virtual Desktop

Sidedesk is like a virtual desktop. Useful for opening files, folders, or even websites. Its main view offers a near-endless canvas, where items can be added and organized to create excellent file manager-esque views. Navigation - Built-in customizable main navigation view allows you to create a positive workflow experience by editing and maintaining nav items to desired preference. Change name, icon, and color to bring to life navigable content. Canvas - Create an area just the way you need from files and folders, to embedded directories via listviews or gridviews. Toolbar options allow for adding and filtering elements..Add individual files, folders, website, or even frames to border your content. Add listviews, gridviews, text, and images too!
