Editors’ Review
TeraCopy gives you a quick and efficient way to copy a file or files from one location to another with just a few clicks of the mouse. Regardless of what you need to transfer or why, this program has the tools to help you get it done.
PROS
Fast and efficient: When you add files to this program and initiate the copy process, you won’t have to wait to get your results. The files are copied almost instantly, and you’ll soon see a readout of what was successfully copied and what was not.
Skipped errors: If the app is unable to copy certain files in a batch for some reason, it will just skip them and copy all of the files it can. Once that process is complete, it will show you which files couldn’t be copied and why. This is a definite step up over some similar programs that will abort copying an entire batch if there are a few files that can’t be copied.
CONS
Not for beginners: The interface and the Help file associated with this program are not very inviting to users without some experience. None of the features and buttons are explained clearly, and the Help document is mostly just descriptions with no context, so it would be tough for new users to get their bearings.
BOTTOM LINE
TeraCopy is an excellent option if you often need to copy or move files, especially in batches or when they’re coming from multiple source locations. It’s not great for novice users, but anyone with some experience will have no trouble finding their way around the interface, and it’s a completely free utility.

Developer’s Description
TeraCopy is a free utility designed to copy files faster and more secure. It automatically switches between synchronous and asynchronous modes to improve the speed of file transfers. File verification: TeraCopy can test files after copy to ensure they are identical. This is done by comparing hashes of source and target files. Error recovery: in a case of a copy error, TeraCopy will try to recover and, in the worse case scenario, will simply skip the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
Create and verify checksum files: all popular formats are supported, including MD5, SHA, RIPEMD, Tiger, Whirpool and xxHash. Interactive file list: TeraCopy shows the failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only the problem files. You can also remove unnecessary files or folders to reduce the transfer time. Informative progress bar: a speed graph inside the progress bar visually indicates problematic and skipped files using different colors. Shell integration: TeraCopy can completely replace the Explorer copy and move functions, enabling you to work with files as usual. You can also quickly set as target any folder open in Explorer.
