Some projects have attempted to implement a [[3D computer graphics|three-dimensional]] method of displaying files and directory structures. Three-dimensional file browsing has not become popular; the exact implementation tends to differ between projects, and there are no common standards to follow.

Examples of three-dimensional file managers include:
* [[File System Visualizer]], or fsv, an open-source clone of fsn for modern [[Unix-like]] systems.
* tdfsb,<ref>[http://www.determinate.net/webdata/seg/tdfsb.html tdfsb]</ref> an open-source 3D file browser, where one enters directories by flying into them (using [[Arrow keys#WASD keys|WASD]]). Runs on Linux, FreeBSD and BeOS.
* [[BumpTop]], a file manager using a three-dimensional representation of a desktop with realistic physics, intended for use with a stylus and [[touchscreen]].
* Real Desktop,<ref name="real-desktop">{{cite web|url=http://www.real-desktop.de/|title=Real Desktop|access-date=August 25, 2010}} product homepage</ref> a desktop replacement with similarities to BumpTop.
* Cubix 3D Filer <ref name="Cubix 3D Filer">{{cite web|url=http://www.cubixproject.com/|title=Cubix 3D Filer|access-date=May 28, 2013}} The Cubix Project Homepage</ref> is a Windows file manager which organizes files according to different attributes.
* [[GopherVR]], a 3D visualisation of networked [[Gopher (protocol)|Gopher]] resources.
