Duplicate Detector is exactly what its name suggests: a program designed to help you find identical files on your Mac. This utility might prove to be of good use to people who own large collections of photographs, videos, and songs and need to get rid of all unnecessary file copies from their computers.
The app brings a straightforward interface, allows you to drag-and-drop multiple folders for scan, and provides you with easy-to-configure scanning settings. What's more, it takes a small amount of time to scan the selected folders.
Once the scanning process is completed, the program offers you a list with all found duplicates (the original files along with their correspondent copies). You can preview these documents and decide which ones to send to Trash.
Another thing I like about Duplicate Detector is that it allows you to choose which file formats and folders to exclude from the scanning process.
To summarize, Duplicate Detector proves to be a reliable solution when it comes to finding and removing file copies from your Mac. The app is easy to use, immediately offers you the results you need, and comes with a very reasonable price.
