When managing files in Windows, there are times when you need to gather files from multiple locations and copy them to a single destination folder.

In this blog, we’ll explore how to use Copywhiz to streamline the process of consolidating files into a single folder.

What is Copywhiz?

Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.

Transcription:

To copy files from multiple folders,

  2. Repeat above step to copy files from different folders.
  3. Go to the destination folder, right-click inside the folder and select Copywhiz–>Paste. All the selected files from different folders will be copied successfully.

That’s it in this video.

Advantages of Using Copywhiz

  1. User-Friendly Interface: The graphical interface makes it accessible even for non-technical users.
  2. Selective File Copying: Copywhiz allows you to exclude specific files or include only those that meet certain criteria.
  3. Batch Copying from Multiple Locations: Consolidate files from various folders in one seamless operation.
  4. Task Scheduling: Automate repetitive file copying tasks without requiring scripts or external tools.
  5. Error Handling: Handle duplicate files or conflicts with advanced options like renaming or skipping.

Let’s have a look on how we can use Xcopy:

Xcopy:

Xcopy is a command-line tool included in Windows. While it’s reliable for bulk file copying, it can be intimidating for non-technical users due to its text-based interface and cryptic command syntax. It also has limitations in handling complex scenarios, like selective copying based on specific criteria.

Using Xcopy

  1. Launch Command Prompt: Open the Command Prompt by typing cmd in the Windows search bar and pressing Enter.
  2. Prepare the Command: To copy files from multiple locations, you’ll need to manually specify each source folder. For example: xcopy "C:\Source1\*" "C:\Destination\" /s /y xcopy "C:\Source2\*" "C:\Destination\" /s /y
    • Replace C:\Source1\ and C:\Source2\ with your actual source paths.
    • Replace C:\Destination\ with your target folder path.
    • Options:
      • /s: Copies directories and subdirectories.
      • /y: Suppresses the confirmation prompt for overwriting files.
  3. Execute the Command: Press Enter to execute the command for each source location.
  4. Verify the Result: Check the destination folder to ensure all files have been copied successfully.

Drawbacks:

  • No graphical interface; requires precise syntax.
  • Lacks advanced filtering or preview options.

Conclusion

While Xcopy is a robust tool for copying files, its command-line nature and limited flexibility make it less ideal for complex file management tasks. Copywhiz, on the other hand, provides an intuitive, feature-rich alternative that simplifies the process of consolidating files from multiple locations into a single folder. Whether you’re a casual user or a professional managing large data sets, Copywhiz is a must-have tool for your Windows toolbox.
