File Copy Apps and Alternatives

When the Windows built-in file copy function is no longer enough for your daily routine, especially if you spend a lot of time on the computer, it's time to look for alternative apps that offer more.

Copying multiple files at the same time, pausing and resuming tasks, managing a pending queue, filtering files by type, attributes, time of modification or other properties, as well as configuring post-task actions like turning off the computer automatically are just part of the features typically offered by file or folder copiers and/or movers.

The truly efficient file copying applications are capable of automating tasks according to the conditions you specify. However, this requires a bit of configuration as well as curiosity to explore every aspect offered by a comprehensive tool.

Some users might prefer a simpler way that's closer to the Windows approach, like quickly copying files with one click through the context menu.

There are also software utilities designed to synchronize two folders, which means copying files back and forth until the two folders become identical (similar to how cloud sharing services work together with desktop clients).
