TeraCopy focuses on transfers where you want to know which files have arrived properly. The app can compare copies to checksums and lets failed or skipped files try again. This helps with a large photo folder, an external drive or unstable network connection. Multiple assignments can be queued one after the other. A checkum checks whether source and copy match; it does not give you protection against the later deletion of both copies. The achievable speed remains dependent on your drives, cable, network and the amount of small files.

Compare TeraCopy with alternatives

For large copying tasks, a clear queue, error messages and checking of the copied content are useful. A copy tool takes over the transfer; a file manager also provides a wider working environment. Check if you want to move or copy before starting the task.

Who is it for?

It is especially useful if you move large folders and want to check transfers afterwards. For a few separate documents, the built-in copy function is often sufficient.

Getting started

Choose the current Windows version for Windows 10 or 11. The provider offers a separate older version and a Mac version; the version numbers and possibilities may vary.

Privacy

With a local copy, the files remain on the selected disks. A network location follows the rights of that server. Transfer history may contain file names and folderads.

Good to know

The free release does not contain all Pro functions. Verification reads data again and may therefore take longer than just copying.

Please note

First use copy instead of move in an important archive. Check the results and open some files before deleting the original folder.

Advantages

  • You can verify files after copying.
  • You can try failed transfers again.
  • You can have assignments done in succession.

Things to consider

  • Verification takes extra reading time.
  • The storage hardware helps determine the speed.
  • Some options are part of the paid Pro-execution.

Our verdict

TeraCopy mainly adds control and recovery capabilities to large file transfers. Choose for insight into errors and verification, without assuming that each copy becomes faster.

TeraCopy is especially worth considering when you move a lot of data and want to be able to assess afterwards what happened. Verification and log are more important than just the progress bar. Check with files of different sizes how that extra step fits into your M.O. For a small daily copy, the ordinary file manager can be sufficient; for an archive transfer control is more difficult.
