About 3DShell

Does the usual file jobs: new folders and files, copy, move, rename and delete, with Y to select several at once. Images open in a viewer (BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, TGA and a few more), and an image around 400x480 gets split across both screens. ZIP, RAR and 7Z archives can be extracted.

It can browse CTRNAND and copy files to and from it. A bar at the top shows how full the storage is, and the battery percentage is read from the hardware for a precise figure. There's a search for jumping to a folder, file properties, sorting by name or size, and an online updater.

For installing and managing titles, FBI is the better pick.
