Beginning with version 10, the project is fully relying on donations from users to finance its ongoing expenses in software development and support. Binary-comparison also processes all files in parallel.īefore version 10, FreeFileSync had shown a single advertisement during installation to help fund the project. Folder comparison will issue multiple requests at a time even when traversing only a single folder, by dynamically managing the workload while recursively reading the folder tree. The new parallel file operations architecture is not limited to the synchronization step, but used throughout the application. The idle time after issuing each file I/O request while waiting for the network response is not the limiting factor anymore: The number of parallel operations can be set as high as needed until the bandwidth is saturated and the network card is operating at full speed. This new design offers huge performance improvements for all scenarios that are dominated by latency, like synchronization against network shares or cloud devices including SFTP and FTP(S). During synchronization FreeFileSync will then spawn several tasks accordingly instead of processing only one file after another. It is now possible to specify the number of parallel file operations for each device inside the settings. For anyone working with numerous files at the same time, Q-Dir allows you to view up to four panels in the same window, each with the same tools and same commands for viewing, copying or editing files faster with ease.FreeFileSync version 10 has added support for copying Q-Dir is specially useful as an alternative Windows file manager.

Q-Dir offers more functionality, plus the advantage that Q-Dir does not have to be installed and can be executed easily from any location, including your desktop or a portable USB stick. Can Q-Dir replace the built-in Windows File Explorer?

The Quad-Directory-Explorer makes your files and folders easy to manage, either installed or as a Portable Windows program as an alternative Freeware to Windows File Explorer.įast and easy access to your hard disks ergo advanced file management for network folders, USB-sticks, floppy disks and other storage devices.
