Matthew Panzarino Read more at The Next Web Gemini is easily the fastest duplicate file finder we tested on macOS, which alone is a great feature if you’re looking for duplicates pretty often. That said, all the other scans of large folders I attempted worked great and went quickly without eating up HD space. It could have looked like a dog and I would still have enjoyed the way that it worked, but having it look and feel as great as it does is a nice bonus. The machine using Gemini only had about 5 GB of space available on its drive, and after about an hour of Gemini checking the external drive, my system locked up as it ran out of drive space! This is an oddball issue, according to MacPaw, and they are looking into it. One issue I did run into was scanning a nearly-full 500 GB drive that had my Time Machine backups on it. Cleaning and system optimization is nothing new to Mac users, but most software aims to do everything at once. Gemini is fast even though you can be impatient, which is a plus if you scan a really large set of folders.
One of the awesome features I've not seen elsewhere is the ability to see the results of a scan and do something about them while the app continues to scour your folders. The application is available as a free download, but the trial version of Gemini is only capable of scanning your Mac and removing just 500MB of duplicate files.
#GEMINI DUPLICATE FINDER REVIEW FULL#
Easy Duplicate Finder is available for both Windows and macOS and free to use. Gemini does a good job of identifying similar files and duplicates, but to unlock the full power of the app you'll need to purchase a license. Unlike Gemini or PhotoSweeper, Easy Duplicate Finder does not offer any option for customization. Once you have found the duplicate files, you can go ahead and review the files. It'll start scanning with a big circular progress bar moving around. The way Easy Duplicate Finder works is really straightforward. To start, you just drag a few folders onto Gemini. It's a beautifully designed app, and if you're doing basic directory comparisons, is fast as lightning.
A few gigabytes here and there can add up, so Gemini aims to help you find and delete duplicate files across devices.

After years of buying hard drives and moving files around, digital hoarders like myself eventually wind up with duplicate files all over the place. I 'purchased' this program for free in October 2013 as part of some sort of promotion.
