You probably copy or move files from Explorer, and those who don’t shy away from the command line may use commands such as copy, xcopy or the powerful robocopy. Or you can use a (commercial) tool like Teracopy. If you are looking for a combination of user-friendliness, open source and flexibility, Copy Handler deserves your attention.

After installing Copy Handler you will find six options in the context menu of Windows Explorer, at least after you have started the tool and selected one or more files and/or folders. In addition to the option SHA, with which you can calculate all kinds of checksums, you will find obvious options here such as copy to and move to, for which you immediately indicate the desired target location.
But even if you stick to the regular copy/paste shortcuts (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V) you can still use Copy Handler’s copy function: a matter of going to the target location and selecting the option pasta Selecting.
Management
Why would you want to use Copy Handler’s copy operations? Well, for example because you can not only follow them in a status window, but because you can also stop, pause and restart the operations from here. Or because with a double click on the program icon you can open the graphical interface of Copy Handler to manage your copy actions even better, such as setting the buffer size or the process priority.
Flexibility and speed
In the context menu you will also find the options Pasta special and Copy/Move special to. This opens a window from which you can choose from all kinds of extra functions, such as filtering on certain file properties or only creating the file names without copying the content and so on. Conveniently, you can export copy jobs for easy reuse.
Another argument that might convince you to use Copy Handler is the speed of larger copy operations. In some informal tests, it turned out to be noticeably faster than Windows’ built-in copy function.
