Do you use File Copier?

[Deleted member 2913]

Win 10 64 here.

Do you use file copier? How good, fast & reliable are they?
Are they really fast compared to Windows inbuilt file copier?

What file copier do you recommend?

im using Teracopy, fast , able to pause copy, and many other things.

I read quite a few review & most mention TeraCopy is just average on speed & not fast. And some mention stability issues.
You are running free or pro?

 

[Deleted member 178]

free one. for me it is good enough and very light.

What OS are you running?
And is TC faster than Windows inbuilt copier for you?

 

[Deleted member 178]

win10 x64 , it is not the speed that matters most but the fact that my copy will not stop at 99% like windows do.

Recently I ran into an exception case with TC 2.3, where I was transferring 70Gigs of data to perform a clean install and TC just crashed with an exception out of memory which is known bug acc. to TC forums and suggested to use TC 3.0 beta.

I am looking for regular copy-paste i.e files/folders, couple movies transfer, etc...

For huge transfers or backups I use FreeFileSync.

Yes I use Teracopy for instances when the built in does not function well to copy some files.

The speed is fast and convincing compared to others however that should not justify the overall result, cause other alternatives have good features to provide on.

Using Teracopy on Win 7...not really any faster but I like the extra features.

 

[Deleted member 178]

in fact 3rd party file copier are not much faster than Windows one since all depend of your hardware, but the features matters.

I am running latest stable TeraCopy Pro.

Should I keep enabled (default) "Associate TeraCopy with .sfv & .md5 files" during install?

"Always test after copy" is disabled by default...should I enable it?

 

[jamescv7]

@yesnoo: Well just tick it, there's nothing wrong to expand the functionality of Teracopy.

Second, is an optional for you to enabled which basically conduct a test for checksum the files after you paste/cut it, took little longer than usual one.

I tried TeraCopy Pro latest under Shadow Defender on Win 10 64. I installed it Portable as would like to use sometime & manually. I noticed it created TeraCopy option in Context Menu. Does deleting TeraCopy portable folder removes the context menu option? I couldn't test it as everytime deleting the folder it mentioned another program using it. Guess it needed system restart & Shadow Defender clears everything on system restart.

So can anyone confirm deleting portable TeraCopy folder removes context menu option?

 

[jamescv7]

@yesnoo: Well since it adds from the registry, then better to remove it manually as probably deleting only the portable folder will remnants as does not contain automated uninstallation.

Anyone using Ultracopier?

Share your experience plzz

Honestly didn't even know there was such a thing. I just use the Windows one as it's so much easier.

Yep, if you want an infinity supply of a file zip it up. Then drag and drop as many times as you wish.

This. Just this alone made me switch to Teracopy.

There has been a lot of times where I have to migrate large data and then Windows just gets stuck at 99% for more than 1 day. Mind you, the total of the data was only around 150GB and I have a fairly strong computer.
