Okay… I think you want a “file manager”, the “actual” one, not an Emacs interface like Treemacs, is that right? A few options.
If you just want it to be on the side of Emacs, why don’t you just run it outside of Emacs and arrange it on the side? Your window manager would have features for that.
If you have to open it within the Emacs frame, you can use EXWM, but you have to use EXWM as your window manager instead of whatever WM you were using.
Maybe M-x dired? If you want to put it in init.el, that’d be (dired). You can put it in a window on the side. Not sure if that’s what you want at all.
Let me know what you actually want. If you have any links of images or videos that help us understand your intention, that’d be awesome.
