Check out my previous post on understanding UAC in Windows and how to disable it. The only annoying thing that I noticed was that UAC (User Account Control) kept popping up and I had to allow the application each time I wanted to perform a copy operation. When using TeraCopy in this way, it will load the interface will the source and target already filled in and should start copying automatically. If you uncheck the Show this dialog next time box, then it will remember what you have chosen and use that copier the next time. If you go to Explorer and perform a normal copy or move operation using CTRL + C, CTRL + V or via the right-click menu, you’ll get a popup dialog asking which copier you want to use. You can also choose to skip, which will not copy the file. Clicking Rename will rename just one of the files with a different name and clicking All will do it for all files. Clicking Overwrite will simply overwrite one file and clicking All will overwrite all instances where the dialog would normally pop up.
The buttons on the right hand side will keep the files in the same folder as the original directory, but either overwrite them or rename them. If you click All files, then it will simply move any file in the copy process to a new folder when the file already exists. When it starts copying another folder, the dialog will pop up again. If you click Current folder, it will move any files in the current folder that it is copying to a new folder if the file already exists. If you click Current file, it will only move the current file to another folder and you’ll get another popup if the problems comes up again with another file. The buttons on the bottom are only for moving files to a new folder.
The dialog is a bit complicated, so I’ll explain it here. It doesn’t make much sense for the computer to decide, as it doesn’t have any idea about your files. The only time you’ll get a popup dialog is when the file already exists in the target directory and you have to manually decide what to do. You can also click the Verify button after the copy process is complete to check the integrity of the file after the copy.Īt the top, you’ll see a quick summary of processed files, errors or skipped files. If a file was copied or moved properly, you’ll see the green checkmark on the left. Once you choose a target folder to copy or move to, the process starts immediately and you’ll see the results in the listbox.

You can now click the More button to see the full list of files. The next version (3.0) coming in the beginning of 2015 will fix this issue and start the copying immediately. The current version of TeraCopy (2.3) will not let you do anything until it fully calculates the size of all the files added, which means it can take some time for large directories. You can also click the Copy To or Move To buttons to choose a target folder. Once you do that, click on the Select target folder text and then click on Browse to choose the target location.
To start, you just drop and drop the files you want to copy onto the program window. This will bring up the main GUI interface, which is pretty streamlined and to the point. Firstly, you can just run it by double-clicking on the desktop or Start Menu icon. Now let’s go through the different ways you an use TeraCopy. Shell Integration – TeraCopy also integrates into Explorer in two ways: you can right-click and choose TeraCopy from the menu or you can simply perform any copy operation normally and a popup window will appear asking if you want to use Windows copy or TeraCopy to perform the operation. After everything is completed, you can fix the issues and recopy only the problem files.Ĭheck target file accuracy – TeraCopy can run a check on the copied files against the source files to verify the accuracy and integrity of the copy.įast file copying – TeraCopy claims its technology can reduce copy times using dynamically adjusted buffers and asynchronous copying. TeraCopy can be set to handle these scenarios with one of several options and can continue copying the rest of the files. Error recovery, continue file copy – TeraCopy can continue to copy files when one file has an issue like already existing in the target directory or not being readable due to corruption.
