![]() ![]() ![]() I’m enjoying the smart behavioral selection feature. I’ve never had it screw up the duplicate finding. I’m always paranoid about it not actually selecting duplicate files. Here’s what I think works really well, and what I think not so much: Despite the feedback below, I think its probably the best application for what it does. I was an owner/fan of Gemini vers 1.0 and have recently purchased this version as well. Cloud Storages (Dropbox, iCloud)." These false statements resulted in a big waste of my time. Our duplicate finder scans and locates hidden copies wherever they are. It's not just the app store that makes the false claim - their website also says, "Duplicates are sneaky, they don’t just live on your Windows’s hard drive. I'd still have to manually find and delete each corresponding file in the cloud. Second, even if I did download everything, all Gemini 2 could do is delete the additional duplicates that I'd just created in doing so. First, if I had room on my computer for all my cloud files, I wouldn't have much need of a de-duplicator. I tried, eventually wrote to support, and they replied, "there is no possibility to scan your cloud storage with Gemini 2." They suggest downloading all cloud files and then scanning them locally. I downloaded Gemini 2 because it says, ""delete duplicates in cloud storage like Google Drive and Dropbox." It can't do that. I didn't try de-duplicating files on my computer. This review is only for de-duplicating files in the cloud, which is what I needed, and what Gemini 2 can't do, despite what it advertises. Also, it would be nice if it could flag any folders that were rendered empty after a purge, but I understand that, too, is probably above and beyond. It’s probably a little bit more complex an algorithm to track, so I understand why it’s not part of the patterns it can detect. One thing I wish it would do, for when it finds duplicates scattered between two folders, is remember which folder you kept them in (much like it remembers whether you prefer older or newer, higher or lower resolution (or bitrate)). I would recommend always, ALWAYS, visually inspecting all matches before deleting. I did have to make some manual changes after the scan, and that did take a little time, but far LESS time than making a manual comparison to all files scattered across three hard drives. I found the interface fairly easy to use (though at times got a little mixed up and had to remind myself to select the one I want to DELETE, not KEEP!) It’s great at identifying duplicates… but don’t expect it to be 100% spot on. I just got rid of over 30G of duplicate files, some of which have been floating around for a decade or more.
