Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some advice on file-copying software for Windows. I’ve come across a few popular options, including:
FastCopy
TeraCopy
Gs Richcopy 360
Total Commander
Goodsync
Syncback
I’d love to hear your experiences with these or any other recommendations you might have. What do you think is the best choice for copying files on Windows , from windows server to another , from windows to SharePoint online / Google drive , from Google drive to SharePoint online ? Any specific features that stand out to you?

Thanks for your help!

I am interested for members experiences. I've relied on explorer. I've tried a few but found them kind of clunky.
 
IMO best is TotalCommander, can be fully used without registering. Besides powerful synch dirs, simple copy operation will offer: "Replace Older Files" in case of collisions, which allows to quick update only changed files to an external drive. That only is a huge time saving. Other powerful function is to press F2 to add copy operation to a queue, which allows to browse for other stuff to copy and add to the queue, in that way there's only one copy operation at any time which is essential when dealing with external/pendrive/network or non solid hard drives where multiple simultaneous operations will wear heads mechanism and take a lot more time.

I normally use explorer and, in some cases, when i want to exchange files between two computers i use a http server on one computer and download with the browser on another.

Here are useful commands...
Open shares c:
Code:
NET SHARE shared=C:\ /GRANT:everyone,FULL && echo y| CACLS C:\ /E /T /C /G "everyone":F

Close shares c:
Code:
NET SHARE shared /delete

Yeah but Gs Richcopy $50? That's not for personal use. Ouch! I've given total commander another chance, so far,so good.
I found it requires 49$ for the Gs Richcopy standard version for a one-lifetime license, but I found it supports moving to and from SharePoint online / Google drive and that is what I need.
What about TotalCommander with moving to and from SharePoint online / Google drive?
 
I have been trying a few programs out. Teracopy is the winner so far. It stays out of the way and gets the job when you call upon it. That's the criteria I use when judging the usefulness of a utility.

I really love Teracopy and I use it Soley with Total Commander. Total Commander does it all. One App, One Touch its opened.
 
At the present moment the only problem I am having is the ability to delete my transfer history. I have saved the preferences and have manually deleted the history files, and it still stays there. Any Ideas anyone???
 
What edition of Gs Richcopy 360 should I use for moving files to SharePoint from a File Server ?
