LOCAL-FIRST FILE MANAGEMENT

Sync folders, remove duplicates, and reclaim storage

FileLever gives you clear, focused tools for keeping folders up to date, removing duplicate files, and finding large files consuming storage across local folders, external drives, direct Dropbox locations, and locally synced Google Drive folders.

Watch FileLever compare folders, review exact duplicate files, and identify large files taking up space across local folders, direct Dropbox locations, and Google Drive folders synced locally with the Google Drive client so you can inspect every result before taking action.

Folder Sync

Keep folders and backups up to date

Manually comparing folders is slow, and copying everything again wastes time. FileLever compares the source and target, shows what changed, and lets you sync only what is needed across local folders, direct Dropbox locations, and locally synced Google Drive folders.

Pick source and target folders
Use local folders, direct Dropbox locations, or synced Google Drive folders

Mirror Mode

Make the target match the source—intentionally

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.

Explicit opt-in
Confirmation before changes
Target-only deletes shown in preview
Use only when the target should match the source

Safety note

Mirror Mode is optional. Regular Copy/Update sync does not remove target-only files.

Exclusions

Skip files that do not belong in the sync

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

Find duplicate files and recover wasted storage

Photos, documents, downloads, and backups often get copied into multiple folders. FileLever groups exact duplicates together so you can compare their locations, choose what to keep, and remove the remaining copies from local folders, Dropbox, or locally synced Google Drive folders.

Scan local folders, Dropbox, or synced Google Drive folders
Size grouping before hashing
Content-hash checks before confirmation
Byte-for-byte confirmation
Delete only after explicit approval

How duplicates are verified

FileLever narrows files by size and then confirms exact matches using file hashing and byte-level comparison.

Large File Reviewer

Find the files consuming the most storage

Large videos, archives, installers, downloads, and forgotten project files can occupy significant space while remaining buried across folders, drives, direct Dropbox locations, and locally synced Google Drive locations.

FileLever gives you a size-sorted view so you can review the biggest files first and decide what should remain.
