Download/HomepageI used to use a program as the same genre as File Tiger many
years ago so I was enthused to see this application come my way. File Tiger is a
file synchronization and management tool that allows you to synchronize all your
files. This of course allows you to keep files located in another location to
stay current and updated with files of the same name that are in a different
location.
PROS: You can look for files, move files, rename, delete folders, copy
missing or newer files and even zip files (archive them provided you have a zip
program already installed) from one location to another! File Tiger is really
pretty easy to use. Just navigate to the Directories you need and click a button
for the type of operation you need. You can use wildcards to sift through the
Directories you want to synchronize (*.doc -*.exe, *.* etc).
CONS: The downloaded version I was led to by the URL link allowed me to
download File Tiger but when I went to run the program for the first time a
dialog popped up that said the software was over two years old. Don't worry
about that, just continue (I mention this because I thought I was getting the
newest version and took me a little by surprise), and you may want to double
check that you do get the latest version available. You are only allowed to
operate in "Novice Mode" with the Shareware Version so you won't be able to try
the "Standard" or "Pro" Modes (where all files are visible, including hidden,
system, and read-only files), although it does allow you to view Hidden files by
using the File, Show Hidden File selection from the Menu.
So if you do a lot of moving files back and forth between your local hard drive
or from business to business or from work and home File Tiger may be your
alternative to "My Briefcase" or such. It performed the way it should and was
easy enough to use right away.
