Duplicate File Finder9.2.2

Duplicate File Finder scans a Mac disk or selected folder, locates repeated files and folders, and lets you remove copies that waste space. It can search a Home folder, iTunes, Photos, iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or another external disk, while filters limit scans by file extension and size. Results can be previewed for photos, music, videos, and other file types, then grouped by category or searched by name.

Auto Select chooses disposable copies according to customizable rules, while a smart folder-selection feature can select files from a particular folder in bulk. The program detects similar folders containing both unique and identical files, finds similar as well as exact duplicate songs and photos, and helps you review comparable shots or organize a Music Library. It can also move data between folders, compare two specific folders to identify their duplicate files, and perform a byte-for-byte comparison between two items to confirm whether they are exact matches.

Additional controls can reveal hidden duplicates, exclude chosen folders, record removal history, restore deleted duplicates from the Trash, and select duplicates in bulk within particular folders. These capabilities suit people tidying collections after copying or merging drives, as well as anyone reviewing an untidy Mac library and reclaiming disk space while keeping preferred versions.

Duplicate File Finder supports many file formats and uses a fast scanning algorithm, and its developer brings more than 15 years of Mac expertise to the product. Version 9.2.2,1042 runs on MacOS with Intel and Apple Silicon support. It is freeware and is offered in Free and Pro versions.
