TeraCopy is still the first app I install on every new Windows PC for 4 important reasons

Moving files in Windows feels like it should be a solved problem by now, and for small stuff it mostly is. The trouble starts when you’re shifting hundreds of gigabytes and can’t afford to mess up. At that scale, Windows Explorer is not the best tool around. One issue could ruin your whole transfer, and sometimes you may not know it. I lost a handful of videos once because I trusted the process and deleted the originals. TeraCopy is an old app that makes sure I never make that mistake again.
