Ultracopier is an open-source, tiny tool for copying, pasting, and moving files and directories in one single operation.
I must admit that I had my doubts about the need of having a specific tool just for copying and moving files around your system. Was it really necessary to develop a tool that would have cost more than 360,000 US dollars to build – had it not been open source, and, according to its developers, – just to copy/move a bunch of files from one place to another? If you only need to move a few files or a full directory from A to B, any copy/paste tool in your operating system can easily do it. But what if you wish to move or back up a large number of files and folders, all in different places and drives, and all of them at the same time? Usually, this will take you a while, as you will need to copy or move every set of files one at a time, unless you want to make your system freeze while trying to manage multiple copy/paste/move operations.
Ultracopier is capable of copying or moving any number of files and folders, from any number of drives and partitions to the location of your choice. It will not only manage to do all this in an efficient way, but it will also make sure that it does not interrupt or clog your system’s performance, and will give you full control over it. You can decide the priority you want to assign to this task, the size of the blocks to be copied or moved, what to do if anything goes wrong, how to manage copy errors and file collisions, etc. All your operating system’s copy and paste tool will usually do when it comes across some file collision is to let you know that the operation needs to be aborted. Ultracopier can skip, overwrite, or rename any file when this happens, and seamlessly go on with its task. I believe that this feature alone is worth having this free tool installed on your computer.
Pros
- Includes clever tools to deal with errors and collision problems
- Fast and efficient
Cons
- None
As a Windows Admin that handles TB of data for thousands of users, I love this tool but recently I use Gs Richcopy 360 in the Windows, which regarding ACLs/ADS and speed to any destination is a must. Migrating data from server to server makes it unbeatbale. You guys can play with your GUI all you want but when it is migrations, large quantity of copies, etc – Gs Richcopy 360 has been dependable for years in my line of work.
UltraCopier is one among popular software when it comes to faster copying . I've been a user of this tool myself, but has now been inconvenienced by several crashes/errors/data loss when transferring files. I had no choice but to do the process over again. So I would like you to take GS RichCopy 360 under consideration as it helped me allot. I found it allot better than both the software mentioned above. My friends suggested GS RichCopy 360, and for several months it has been working perfectly fine for me. You might want to give it a try if you are looking for a reliable software. Hope this helped.
UltraCopier is one of the amazing tools that is out there and I was a user previously. It was not recently until I figured out another great software that I use which is GS RichCopy 360. I've read different articles on this and only found a few of them. If UltraCopier doesn't work for you, I highly endorse you try out what I suggested.
