What is FolderMatch? FolderMatch is an award-winning Windows utility which compares folders & files and finds duplicate files. Winner at the Shareware Industry Awards (SIA) for three consecutive years, SIA nominee for the "Best Overall Application" & nominee for the European Epsilon Award, it is a "must-have" insurance against loss of valuable data. Never again be stuck with out-of-date data. Never again lose critical information. FolderMatch ensures that the appropriate versions of all files are retained. FolderMatch is a fast and easy way to compare folders and files. It shows differences side-by-side in a graphical, easy-to-understand manner. Synchronize the folders with a button click. Wizards guide you through the process. There are many powerful options to choose from. Simple enough for a novice to use, yet feature-rich enough for a power user to exploit. Who can benefit from FolderMatch? Everyone who must maintain multiple copies of files or folders can benefit from FolderMatch. Do you work on your files at home and at the office? Are you a frequent business traveler? With users working at home, on the road or in the office, it's hard to keep all the PCs current with the latest files and data. Documents, databases, spreadsheets, sales and contact information all can get changed several times a day. How is the work coordinated on all the various PCs, making sure that all systems contain the most recent versions all the files? FolderMatch is a tool that solves this problem. Are you a computer professional: a Programmer, Tester, Trainer, Network Administrator, or Support Technician? If so, this utility is a MUST. Whenever there are duplicate copies of files/folders across a network, there is always a risk that they may be out of sync. FolderMatch can eliminate this risk. No more painful inspections for missing files when setting up directories or applying file updates. Creating and comparing test/development folders, applying new program updates/patches, these become more carefully controlled processes by decreasing the risk of human error. Best of all, FolderMatch's synchronizer is network-friendly. Only non-matching files are replaced which reduces the load on the network. Do you make your own CDs? A common task for people working with CD duplication and replication is the verification that the image mastered is the same as the result of the duplication. A tool which can compare files down to the byte level is required. With FolderMatch you can determine if even one byte of data differs! Are you a pack rat? Do you have backups of your backups? Hey, redundancy can be a good thing. Having a backup copy of a critical file can be a real lifesaver when your hard drive crashes or when your dog uses your floppy disk as a chew toy. FolderMatch can help you manage all of your backups. Space Miser? Hate wasting hard disk space? It amazes people to see how many duplicate files are on their computer and how much valuable disk space they take up. FolderMatch provides one of the fastest, most full-featured duplicate file finders in the industry.
