TeraCopy review

TeraCopy gives you a quick and efficient way to copy a file or files from one location to another with just a few clicks of the mouse. Regardless of what you need to transfer or why, this program has the tools to help you get it done.

Pros

Fast and efficient: When you add files to this program and initiate the copy process, you won't have to wait to get your results. The files are copied almost instantly, and you'll soon see a readout of what was successfully copied and what was not.

Skipped errors: If the app is unable to copy certain files in a batch for some reason, it will just skip them and copy all of the files it can. Once that process is complete, it will show you which files couldn't be copied and why. This is a definite step up over some similar programs that will abort copying an entire batch if there are a few files that can't be copied.

Cons

Not for beginners: The interface and the Help file associated with this program are not very inviting to users without some experience. None of the features and buttons are explained clearly, and the Help document is mostly just descriptions with no context, so it would be tough for new users to get their bearings.

Bottom Line

TeraCopy is an excellent option if you often need to copy or move files, especially in batches or when they're coming from multiple source locations. It's not great for novice users, but anyone with some experience will have no trouble finding their way around the interface, and it's a completely free utility.
