Pick elio if…
elio suits people who prefer managing files from a terminal and want previews and common file operations in that setting. It is also relevant to users of Linux, macOS, Windows, or self-hosted setups.
Pick FileManagerTUI if…
FileManagerTUI suits keyboard-oriented users who want a terminal file manager with editing, previews, and file operations on Linux, macOS, or Windows. S3 browsing may suit users who only need read-only access and have the required AWS setup.
