I did google this, but found a bunch of closed source tools from dodgy companies I've never heard of before, and I'm not sure I trust them enough to download any of them to my PC.Īnyone know of any open source tool for doing this sort of work, or if a propriety tool, at least one from an reputable company NOT in a hostile foreign nation to the US (e.g. I'm not exactly sure what the gui for this might look like - perhaps group the oldest version of every file in one column, and all the newer duplicates in another column, so I can do a quick review, then select all the newer copies to delete. sha256) of the files to determine if they are the same, and then present me a list of duplicates found.

So, it recently came to my attention that Dropbox for Android, when syncing files, automatically renames all photos and videos to a datetime stamp, not preserving the original filenames as they exist in internal storage or sdcard in Android. Reason for this was I had an instructor that downloaded everything multiple times per year, and ended up seeing (65), and sometimes (80), on hundreds of files.
