I agree with Teddy 100% - Directory Opus Pro. Probably the best windows software I use. Has a great compare and synchronisation feature that I use very frequently - along with a boatload of other great features.
The only downside - once you've used it, you'll hate being on a machine without it!

Have you tried Directory Opus? I swear by it as a replacement for explorer, has a ton of great features, I believe this is one of them Hi all,
Looking for recommendations for file management software, the sort of thing that can scan a drive / folder and find duplicates etc.
It sounds so simple and there seem to be 1000 apps out there that claim to do it, but our IT guy said he’d tried several and none of them were good enough to recommend.
Main purpose is to try and organise / optimise projects before they are archived. In some cases, mostly when we outsource to 3rd parties but also when a project is started in the office but then completed on-site, we can end up with 3 or 4 project folders with varying degrees of duplicate files. Sometimes projects can be terabytes in size.
The idea is to copy everything to a single folder for archiving and avoid duplicates, but also ensure we aren’t overwriting newer versions of files with older versions.
So obviously it’s easy to google for this and there’s no shortage of apps out there that CLAIM to do it, but can anyone recommend one that’s good?
