CopyFolderTool

When moving data around your drives, using the standard copy and paste should be enough. However, if you care about the integrity of the data and want to move relatively large files, then the robocopy command is more reliable as it does error checking and can be paused and restarted.

CopyFolderTool is a GUI for robocopy that boasts all the advantages and can be easier to handle, especially for the average users who don’t know how to use commands.

Following a quick and uneventful installation, the tool can be accessed from the context menu of any file or folder. Once you click the command, a new window pops that prompts you to specify a few details, such as the source and destination folder, whether you want to copy the subfolders or if you want to move solely the new items. You can also choose to shut down your computer after the operation is completed.

Even from these options it is more than obvious that it is a more complex function compared to copy and paste. The tool can be especially useful for when you are transferring data among computers or via VPN and you can’t afford to start over if something goes wrong. In fact, the tool includes logs that you can explore to make sure that everything went smoothly or you need to repeat some operations.

Robocopy is included with the latest Windows editions, however, you need to know your way around commands to take advantage of it. The tool provides a more user-friendly approach to using this powerful tool that can also appeal to less tech-savvy users.

CopyFolderTool is an overall reliable tool that can be accessed from the context menu and that comes with the manyfold advantages of robocopy plus the graphic interface.
