Practical workflows
Start with the task you are trying to complete, then use FileLever to review the files before you copy, move, or remove anything across local folders, external drives, direct Dropbox locations, and Google Drive folders synced locally with the Google Drive client.
Guide cluster
Start here when you need to understand two locations before you update a backup, copy a working folder, or make a deliberate replica.
Folder comparison on Mac
Learn how to compare two folders on Mac before syncing. See missing, changed, target-only, and unchanged files, then decide whether to copy, update, mirror, or do nothing.
Folder diff on Mac
Diff two folders on your Mac when you want to inspect the differences first, then decide whether copy/update, mirror, or no action is appropriate.
FileLever sync modes
Understand the difference between copy/update and mirror sync in FileLever so you can choose the right mode before files are copied or removed.
FreeFileSync search bridge
FreeFileSync Mirror can remove target-only files; Update keeps them. Compare the outcomes before you sync, then choose the safer mode for your folder pair.
External-drive backup on Mac
Compare a Mac folder with an external-drive backup, preview the changes, and copy only what needs updating with FileLever.
Media archive backup workflow
Keep photo, video, music, and project archives current across an external drive and Dropbox by comparing each backup with the working library before you update it.
Mac folder migration
Compare old and new Mac folders before copying, updating, or mirroring files so you can move data with a clear review step.
Guide cluster
Use these review-first workflows to confirm exact duplicates or understand what is using space before you remove anything.
Duplicate-file cleanup on Mac
Find exact duplicate files on your Mac, review every matching group, and choose what to keep before you remove extra copies safely.
Duplicate cleaner on Mac
Use a duplicate cleaner on Mac that confirms exact duplicates, keeps every matching group visible, and lets you review what to keep before cleanup.
External-drive duplicate cleanup
Scan an external drive for exact duplicate files, review each confirmed group, and clean up extra copies on Mac without guessing from filenames alone.
Project archive cleanup
Find the exports, archives, installers, and old project files consuming storage on your Mac, then review them before cleanup.
Guide cluster
Keep the cloud path clear: Dropbox is a direct authorized integration, while Google Drive folders are selected after Google Drive for desktop syncs them locally.
Dropbox folder sync
Connect FileLever directly to Dropbox, compare a local folder and a remote Dropbox folder, preview every change, then choose copy/update or mirror deliberately.
Dropbox duplicate cleanup
Scan a Dropbox folder directly for exact duplicate files, review each group and its reclaimable space, then clean up only the copies you approve.
Dropbox storage review
Scan a Dropbox folder directly to find its largest files, review the full path and purpose, then copy, move, or delete only the files you approve.
Local and Google Drive comparison
Compare a local folder with a Google Drive folder synced locally by the Google Drive client, preview the differences, and decide what should sync before any file changes begin.
Google Drive duplicate cleanup
Scan a Google Drive folder synced locally by the Google Drive client for exact duplicate files, review each confirmed group, and clean up extra copies without guessing from filenames alone.
