PROTECT · SYNC · PREVIEW
FileLever helps photographers, creators, professionals, and anyone with files they cannot lose. Keep backups up to date across the storage you already use, and preview every sync, archive, move, or delete. Once backups are current, review duplicate and large files to free up space. Works with local folders, HDD/SSD, USB, mounted NAS, Dropbox, and Google Drive folders on your Mac.
Protect first
Valuable data deserves a second copy you can rely on.
Keep backups in sync
Sync and archival keep backup copies up to date.
Preview every change
See how sync, archival, and cleanup will apply before they run.
Photo Archive · macOS
Archive Apple Photos media to a folder or external drive. Preview every selection, check the copy, then choose whether to free up space.
Folder Sync
Protect valuable folders by keeping a second copy up to date. FileLever compares the two folders, shows what changed, and lets you sync only what is needed across local folders, Dropbox, and Google Drive folders on your Mac.
Mirror Mode
Old or unwanted files can remain in the target even after a regular sync. Mirror Mode identifies target-only files and lets you review them before they are removed.
Safety note
Mirror Mode is optional. Regular Copy/Update sync does not remove target-only files.
Exclusions
Temporary files, operating-system metadata, caches, and generated folders can clutter sync results. Exclusions keep the comparison focused on the files that matter.
Duplicate File Finder
Once backup copies exist, repeated exports and imports often leave exact duplicates across folders. FileLever groups real matches so you can compare locations, keep the copy that belongs, and remove extras only after review in local folders, Dropbox, or Google Drive folders on your Mac.
How FileLever finds real duplicates
FileLever first narrows files by size, then checks their contents so matching names alone never decide what is a duplicate.
Large File Reviewer
Large videos, archives, installers, and forgotten project files consume space while valuable backups stay protected elsewhere—across folders, drives, direct Dropbox locations, and locally synced Google Drive locations.
After backups are current: review path and purpose before delete or move-to-archive.
Control Before Cleanup
FileLever keeps important decisions visible before files are copied, updated, moved, or deleted.
Understand what the operation will do before running it.
See exactly which files are selected, retained, moved, or removed.
Handle one file carefully or process many files efficiently.
Review and manage files without uploading them to a cloud service.
Destructive actions require a deliberate choice and confirmation.
One Simple Approach
Choose Folder Sync to keep backup copies up to date, or Duplicate File Finder / Large File Reviewer to free up space after backups are in place.
Select local folders, external drives, backup locations, direct Dropbox paths, or locally synced Google Drive folders.
Inspect folder differences, duplicate groups, or files sorted by size before anything changes.
Choose files individually or use bulk-selection controls.
Sync folders to keep backups current, remove confirmed duplicate extras, or move large files to an archive.
