Flat Folder

As you use your computer and save files onto your hard drive things tend to get messy sooner or later.

You find that one folder has ten other subfolders and each of them has one or two files and you can’t remember how they got that way. You can put all the files in one folder and delete the extra subfolders that you don’t need but that can take you a bit of time and if this issue exists with ten more folders on your computer then you might have a problem.

To solve this matter in a fast and easy way, you can use Flat Folder. It’s a simple to use tool that allows you to select one or multiple folders at the same time and flatten all them so you get a single folder with all the files from the source folders. This also applies to subfolders that are located into a main directory.

The new folder can be set anywhere on your computer and all the files from the source directories are moved there. The duplicate files that are found are not overwritten but renamed with by adding a number to their original name.

As far as the interface goes, there’s not much to talk about. It’s a straightforward application that provides you with just the buttons you need to perform the task. It allows you to choose the source folder or folders, toggle to include subfolders and displays them all in a list so you can have a clear view of which you are about to flatten. Any folder present in the list can be removed without affecting the files.

To flatten the folders, all you have to do is click one button an the application does the rest. Fast and easy.

In closing, Flat Folder is definitely a simple and effective solution that can help you reorganize files on your computer and keep your hard drive clean.
