Five quick file copy tools

Fastcopy (Windows, free)

Fastcopy isn' t pretty, but it is, as the name implies, quite speedy. fastcopy integrates with the System Shell and is the only copier listed here which allows you to select which individual commands will appear on the right-click context menu. fastcopy allows you to specify actions based on a file's age, size, and name, among others. you can also enable secure overwrite, where all moved files are securely deleted from the source directory upon completion of the move. fastcopy can be made portable by copying the fastcopy.exe and fastcopy. CHM from the installation directory.

 

Richcopy (Windows, free)

Richcopy has been around since 2001 but was only recently released to the public; prior to that it had been an internal Microsoft tool. richcopy offers all the functionality of the popular command line file copier, robocopy, But it's wrapped in a radically more user friendly GUI. richcopy has a single but significant transaction coming: it lacks integration into the Windows Shell. despite functioning only as a stand alone tool, it earns its spot in the Hive Five by offering an enormous amount of granular control. you can apply dozens of variables control your file copying, including filtering files by name and extension and selectively applying file attributes. richcopy is the only copier in the hive that has profiles, a must for this app given how many variables it allows you to change. you can create a profile for every copying task you can think.

 

Supercopier (Windows, free)

Supercopier is a strong candidate for your flash drive. it's the only alternative copier here that makes itself the default drag-and-drop handler while the program is active. you can turn supercopier into a portable application by going into the advanced menu and changing the settings location ". INI File ". supercopier, like richcopy also allows you to specify if file attributes and security settings will be copied.

 

Teracopy (Windows, basic: Free/Pro: $21)

Teracopy is one of the best known alternative file copiers, winning people over with an interface and functionality that one might call "just advanced enough ". teracopy integrates with the Windows Shell for drag-and-drop support and includes a solidly laid out right-click menu. it doesn't overwhelm you with a plethora of settings or options, but it provides enough advanced functionality to speed up file copying, every y you when files don't copy correctly, and allow you to bulk approve overwriting, renaming, and skipping of duplicate files. teracopy is also available in a portable version. the $21 Pro version adds the ability to select files by extension and remove files from the queue without having to start over.

 

Copyhandler (Windows, free)

Copyhandler is another candidate with a ton of mizmizable options. while richcopy specializes in granular control over things like file names and attributes, copyhandler allows you to get as picky as setting custom Buffer Sizes based on whether a file is being copied to the same physical disk, disk to disk, disk to optical drive, and so forth. you can integrate copyhandler into the Windows Shell and the right-click menu, and you can even instruct it to perform tasks like shutting down the system when the copying is done. copyhandler is also the only alternative copier listed here which allows you to pause your queue transfer, shut down the computer, and then start the queue up again upon logging back in.
