Find Duplicate Files in BT Cloud

BT Cloud is a cloud file management and organizing service from a leading broadband Internet provider company in the United Kingdom.

BT users can freely store their data online and easily access it across multiple platforms such as Windows (PC, tablet and Windows Phone), Mac (laptop and tablet), Android and iPhone.

 

BT adds an extra layer of security to the user data and protects it against all kinds of eventualities that might arise because of human error, accidental data loss, hard drive failure and virus infection. If the worst happens, the data can be easily recovered with just a few clicks. It provides data synchronization which keeps your files updated on both ends to reflect any recent changes that have been brought about by the user. Never worry about carrying an external hard disk, a DVD or a USB stick while traveling. Just log-in to your cloud account from anywhere, anytime to access your important files.

 

The Problem of Duplication

While working with an extensive database of documents, music, videos, images, compressed files, there is always a chance of duplication. Identical copies of your data might probably be scattered across different folders and subfolders on the cloud. As a result, you might exhaust your cloud allocation and hence end up having to pay for upgrading your cloud storage subscription account.

 

Why do you Need Clone Files Checker?

Do you never delete anything from BT Cloud unless it gets completely filled up? Clone Files Checker makes it easy and fun to organize your massive library in a just a couple of minutes. You’d be surprised to figure out how many GBs of your BT Cloud Storage can be occupied by duplicate office files, media library, movies, images and other files. Sorcim’s Cloud duplicate finder and cleaner makes your life a lot easier by scanning and removing all duplicate cloud content in a matter of seconds.

 

What’s so special?

  • Clone Files Checker’s unique selection assistant automatically groups your files so that you can easily determine the quantity of cloned copies of any given file
  • You need not delete every duplicate; you can even move them to a folder / drive of your choice
  • Saves invaluable time and user efforts
  • Capable of detecting duplicates found on hard disk, external hard drive, DVD, USB and other removable media
  • You may specify the directory / drive to look for duplicates or conduct a full hard drive scan to search the entire hard drive

  • Clone Files Checker is the simple way to detect and remove identical files automatically. No manual efforts are required on the part of the user
  • Supports scanning duplicate files regardless of their filenames and locations
