Nautilus 是 Gnome 默认的文件管理器。它给你提供了文件的图形化显示，它更像Windows下资源管理器。Nautilus 允许你从一个综合界面来配置桌面。Nautilus 支持像浏览本地文件系统一样浏览 FTP 站点、Windows SMB 共享、Files transferred over shell protocol、WebDAV 服务器和 SFTP，这得益于GNOME VFS库的支持。另外，Nautilus 还支持书签、窗口背景、徽标、备忘和扩展脚本，并且用户可以选择是图标视图还是列表视图。它会将访问过的文件夹保存为历史，非常容易再次访问，与浏览器无异。
Nautilus可以显示文件的预览，如文本文件，图像，声音或视频文件的预览，视频文件通过Totem取得预览，声音文件当指针移到它们上面时得到预览。
对于它自己的界面，Nautilus包含了原始的由Susan Kare设计的vectorized图标。在Gamin库的支持下，Nautilus将实时跟踪本地文件的修改，解决了需要手动刷新的问题。
Nautilus is the official file manager for the GNOME desktop. The name is a play on words, evoking the shell of a nautilus to represent an operating system shell. Nautilus replaced Midnight Commander in GNOME 1.4 and was the default from version 2.0 onwards.
Nautilus was the flagship product of the now-defunct Eazel Inc. Released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, Nautilus is free software.
Nautilus supports browsing local filesystems as well as filesystems available through the GVFS system, including FTP sites, Windows SMB shares, OBEX protocol often implemented on cellphones, Files transferred over shell protocol, HTTP and WebDAV servers and SFTP servers.
Bookmarks, window backgrounds, emblems, notes, and add-on scripts are all implemented, and the user has the choice between icon, list, or compact list views. In browser mode, Nautilus keeps a history of visited folders, similar to many web browsers, permitting easy access to previously visited folders.
Nautilus can display previews of files in their icons, be they text files, images, sound or video files via thumbnailers such as Totem. Audio files are previewed (played back over GStreamer) when the pointer is hovering over them.
With the use of the GIO library, Nautilus tracks modification of local files in real time, eliminating the need to refresh the display manually. GIO internally supports Gamin and FAM, Linux's inotify, and Solaris' File Events Notification system.
