Hi all,=

It sounds so simple and there seem to be 1000 apps out there that claim to = do it, but our IT guy said he=E2=80=99d tried several and none of them were= good enough to recommend.

Main purpose is to try and organise / optimise projects before they are arc= hived.=C2=A0 In some cases, mostly when we outsource to 3rd parties but als= o when a project is started in the office but then completed on-site, we ca= n end up with 3 or 4 project folders with varying degrees of duplicate file= s.=C2=A0 Sometimes projects can be terabytes in size.

The idea is to copy everything to a single folder for archiving and avoid d= uplicates, but also ensure we aren=E2=80=99t overwriting newer versions of = files with older versions.

So obviously it=E2=80=99s easy to google for this and there=E2=80=99s no sh= ortage of apps out there that CLAIM to do it, but can anyone recommend one = that=E2=80=99s good?
