I have gigs of duplicate files on multiple hard drives, I am wasting so much space! The Duplicate Finder is the app we need! For a limited time we can grab The Duplicate Finder for Mac (which is normally a $9.99 app) that will sift through files and folders, finding all our duplicate files.
Let’s say you have a 3.4 GB video file you pulled from your camera from a retreat that ended up in 2 or 3 folders. (I don’t know why you did it, you just do these types of things!) If all of these files are backed up on the same harddrive and you run “The Duplicate Finder” app you would see where all these files are saved. Then you can move or delete one or all to save space. Here is a rundown of what the app does…
Main features:
• Automatic one-click duplicate selection
• Exclude folders, extensions and size range
• Add multiple folders for scanning
• Replace duplicates with hard links
• Customizable bundle handling
• SHA-1 Checksum based file compare
Highlights
• Built-in preview of the duplicated items
• Hard link aware finder algorithms
• Ultra fast scan engine
• Real-time results
• Filter and sort duplicates
• Quick Look support
• Selection warning messages
• Double-check list before removal
• Export results to csv
At $10 this is a great app, but grab it now, you cannot beat free!
