Every picture has to be individually and fuzzily matched to all others, and this takes a lot of CPU power. This very cool capability has a cost: time. It can detect duplicate photos even if they are not exactly the same. This scanning method is very different from methods. "Why is Picture mode’s contents scan so slow? The software does use EXIF tags where they exist, excerpts from the dupeGuru FAQ: The best part is that it's freeware, so you don't have to lose anything to give it a try. I have gone through large volumes of music and photos (though definitely not the 15TB you are talking about) and it did a very admirable job. Even though it's freeware, it's pretty customizable and has a very small footprint. Nearly 20 years as a pro, and unfortunately in my earlier years I was not great at file management.
I am in need of cleaning and reducing the amount of data and much is due to a high number of duplicate files. I have an enormous amount of photos on my computer, and mostly on two Drobo arrays totaling more than 15TB. All I seem to find is cheap software, that doesn't look like it's up to the task at hand.

However, the preferences still aren't easy enough to access if you're making lots of scans and need to customize the way dupeGuru searches for each one.ĭupeGuru is a super quick way to weed out those files which you don't need any more or which are taking up valuable space on your hard drive.Īdded the "Folders" scan type.Fixed a couple of crashes. Most recently, dupeGuru has been totally revamped to make a much slicker app. It ignores files under 30MB by default although you can deactivate this. It also has a habit of missing some duplicate files from time to time. Sometimes dupeGuru selects files which it thinks are duplicates but in reality are not so be careful what you allow it to delete. However, it can still be confusing which files are duplicates and which are not. dupeGuru saves you time and does its job extremely quickly. However, if some duplicates are not as clear as others, dupeGuru uses a special algorithm which can mark out which files genuinely are separate and which ones are just similar thanks to the Power Marker.
