EF CheckSum Manager

Every digital piece of data has a unique checksum, which can be used to compare different file versions and verify the data integrity. Not only those checksums allow you to detect errors during file transfers but it also helps you find out if the original file has been tampered with. EF CheckSum Manager is one of the tools that help you read and compare file hashes to check files’ integrity on the popular, standard formats.

The installation process is brief and, in a few moments, you are greeted by a user-friendly interface with an explorer-like layout. The left-side panel allows you to browse your PC and navigate to any folder, so as to view its content in the right-side panel.

The upper bar is where you find checksum-related options. You can create CRC checksums with EF CheckSum Manager, with the following options: create a single checksum file, one checksum file per directory with or without the folder name, as well as separate checksum files for each file. All the popular checksum standards are supported, including MD5, CRC32 (SFV), SHAx, and SHA-3.

Once the checksums are generated, the main table is populated with the new data. EF CheckSum Manager works recursively, meaning the content of all the subfolders is also processed.

The generated checksum files take a little amount of storage space but they allow you to check the data integrity much easier, so as to make sure the files you have or share with others are not corrupt or damaged in any way. Once the CRC checksums are generated, EF CheckSum Manager can proceed to verifying or actualizing them.

Working with EF CheckSum Manager is not difficult, due to the simple layout and straightforward options. To resume, you just have to browse to the desired destination and generate the checksum files that will accompany them. After the data transfer is complete, its integrity can be verified with EF CheckSum Manager as well to eliminate all the doubts concerning the integrity of the files.
