I discovered Directory Opus many years ago, and just can't live without it. So many levels of customization, dual panes, linked tabs, etc. One very useful feature is the flat view, which shows all files together even ones in sub-folders, with their location. It is easy to find something hidden in sub-folder, duplicates etc. It also has a sync feature, but it is not that robust imho.

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=E2=80=99d tried seve= ral 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=E2=80=99= t 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 shortage of apps out there that CLAIM to do it, but can anyone recommend one that=E2=80=99s good?

-Chris
