I’ve got an external SSD with all kinds of files, executables, photos, videos, documents, and more, and it’s a complete mess. I’m looking for a way to sort everything neatly into folders by type, date, etc. Is there any software that can help with this?
You probably don’t want to move or sort .exe files since they usually need to stay in their original directories to work properly. If you move them all to one folder, a lot of your apps won’t function.
What you really need is a duplicate file finder.
this one…Disk sorter ultimate
Are the files mixed up in different folders, or are they all in one folder without any subfolders?
There are numerous subfolders and numerous duplicates.
When searching for files on Windows, use Everything 1.5 Alpha. It even features a duplicate finder option, which makes it perfect for file finding. To find duplicates, simply type dupe:size or dupe:name into the search bar. Moreover, advanced sorting options are available.
