You might ask yourself why you would need a standalone file copying application since Windows already offers a simple and handy option for this basic file management task. Well, the explanation is simple: the additional features and options provided by the standalone application in comparison with the Windows’ default file copying utility. A good example of a standalone file copying tool that offers additional features is Ultracopier.
Ultracopier is an open-source little tool that has the ability to put you in complete control over the file copying process. It offers you the possibility to set up speed limitations for the copy process and to pause and resume the copying to your liking. A very handy on-error resume feature is also available. This feature will help you perform file copying tasks even when you have to deal with corrupted media devices that don’t allow file transfers using the default methods (such as Windows’ file copying feature). Ultracopier can copy files regardless of the type of the source and target disks, like hard drives, CDs, DVDs, USB disks, memory cards, etc.
Another important advantage of this tool is its high file transfer speed, superior to the file copying speed provided by default by Windows. As you can see, though very simple and lightweight, this open source tool represents a great addition to the collection of applications of anyone, as it makes file copying faster, more convenient and more reliable.
