PhotoStick is a pen drive used to back up photos with a single click. It comes in various sizes including 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB and a whopping 1TB! PhotoStick can be connected to any computer with the help of the standard USB port. Even though PhotoStick’s promos claim it can be used for backing up photos, it is equally handy in backing up documents, videos, music files.
The advantage of this small hardware device is it being optimized for media content, and thus it is ideal for backing up personal multimedia in order to guard against any accidental loss. This guide demonstrates how to weed out duplicate photos from PhotoStick with ease by providing 3 solutions for our readers’ benefit.
The native method is the default way that can be used to eliminate duplicate photos while they are being copied to the drive. This method is reliable to a greater extent. In this solution, we will make use of the PhotoStick app that comes with the device itself. The software by default scans the entire computer and copies the photos to the drive. All the photos are copied to the same folder in the drive regardless of the location on the computer they are being fetched from, and thus the duplicate content is renamed to comply with rules imposed by Windows itself. Since only the earliest version of all images saved to PhotoStick, any duplicates aren’t accepted into the drive at all.
From now onwards, no duplicate content will be copied into the drive from the computer. However, this method is affected by limitations of its own. The PhotoStick app is designed to back up the earliest version of a particular photo and treat all other versions as duplicates. So even if the user wants to back up a different version of the photo, the app doesn’t do it on its own. This is one factor which might definitely not go down too well with professional photographers as well as graphics designers, people who have to deal with multiple versions of a single image and often have to retain several versions of an image.
