Duplicate Files Search & Link Review by
4.0/5
  IMPORTANT NOTICE

Removing duplicate files is a task that has countless solutions. With just a brief search on the web, countless tools will pour in. However, if you need a program with some unique features, Duplicate Files Search & Link might be the one. This app helps you find duplicates based not only on names, but also on the byte-by-byte comparison, and in addition, it comes with the neat function of surfacing NTFS hard links and symbolic links.

Unlike the common tools, Duplicate Files Search & Link has a more complex UI. However, it is not something to be scared of, as it's intuitive enough for anyone understanding how this type of file management works.

To start a search, click the button with the same name and select either a drive or a specific directory. The selection panel also includes search rules and parameters related to format exclusions, maximum or minimum file size, file and symbol link skipping, metadata overlooking, partial comparisons of large files, simultaneous reads for SSDs, etc.

When the scanning process is over, the results are going to be listed in the preview panel. Each entry sports an extensive context menu that allows you to quickly access a file, exclude it from the list, replace it with a hard link, compress it, or delete it.

Identifying audio, video, or image files is easy, but what happens when you have multiple copies of the same files but with different metadata? With Duplicate Files Search & Link, you can easily bring up such items, no matter their descriptive information. Detailed visualization for hard links, symbolic links, and junction points is also a plus. The app support long paths, longer than 260 characters -  a function that not many competitors have.

Duplicate Files Search & Link is not your run-of-the-mill program, it is something more. What makes it unique are the hard links and symbolic links abilities, which cater to more experienced users. Casual users can also take advance of this tool, of course, as the basic duplicate searching feature is straightforward enough.
