File copying and management PC utility
TeraCopy is a free utility software for PC developed by Code Sector. It is a file management tool specializing in copying and moving files within or across multiple storage drives. With it, users gain the benefit of increased transfer speeds, as well as providing additional options for security, multiple task queuing, and more.
Similar in concept to other solutions like FastCopy and Ultracopier, TeraCopy serves as an alternative file transfer handler built into operating systems like Windows. There is also a Pro version that unlocks more features and priority updates for a one-time purchase license option.
Faster file transfers
Put simply, TeraCopy aims to replace the way you copy and move files on your PC with a faster solution that also gives you additional features and options than what the core Windows experience can provide. It does all this by letting you manage multiple transfer tasks in a queue, saving you time of having to do them manually one by one.
Its simple yet informative UI lets you see transfers as they happen and see how fast they are being transferred. One of its highlight features is how it handles errors or corrupted data by isolating the files in question without letting the entire transfer task be terminated or interrupted. You can also choose specific metadata to carry over and conduct verifications to ensure file integrity.
Other notable features include the ability to handle locked files, i.e., those that are in use or locked by other processes, and seamless shell integration with Windows Explorer. One area where you will have to temper your expectations is with speed. Given advancements in storage technologies like SSDs and NVME drives, TeraCopy's performance benefits are not as dramatic as they used to be.
Beyond just speed
All in all, TeraCopy remains one of the best options available if you're looking for an alternative file management tool outside of the one provided by Windows. While the performance is not as speedy as it once was, its other features make up for it, giving more control over your file transfers and other aspects. Give it a try now and experience it for yourself.
