Best Free File Copy Software

In case of a copy error TeraCopy will try to recover. If unable to recover in the worst case scenario it will simply skip the problematic file, not terminating the entire transfer. It can also wait for network or device reconnection. Unnecessary files can be skipped to reduce the transfer time. During the process, TeraCopy shows detected errors, and allows you to fix the problem by recopying only the problematic files. TeraCopy can verify files after they have been copied to ensure that they are identical. This is done by comparing hashes of source and target files. TeraCopy can optionally show a confirmation dialog on every drag and drop operation. It can prevent you from moving folders accidentally from one location to another. TeraCopy can keep history of recently used directories, as well as show folders which are open in Explorer and other file managers.

MiniCopier is a graphical copy manager. It provides more comfort and control over files copy operations than basic OS functions. With MiniCopier it is possible to queue several transfers, resume a copy that has failed, limit the speed or pause the copy. If a transfer fails, an error is logged and the rest of the queue is treated. MiniCopier tries to include most of the features of SuperCopier (Windows-only software) into a completely multi-platform program. Choose another name for the target if a file already exists. Add new transfers to the queue while a copy is already being processed. Set a default behavior if target file already exists.
