The level of difficulty in managing files is determined by the specific files involved and their intended destination. It is common to require multiple files from various locations on your computer to be consolidated into a single directory, which can be a time-consuming process of navigation and copying.

Folder Merger is a small, free utility for merging the contents of different folders into a single folder while keeping its folder structure. That is, if you have a folder with subfolders and files in them, the program will select all the files from there and combine them all in one place, without subfolders.

Folder Merger uses Windows' built-in xcopy command - creating a temporary batch file "temp.bat" and then runs it. It comes in handy if you need to collect files from different directories into one place, instead of having to manually cut/paste files one by one between tons of folders. For example, when you need to extract all the music and lyric files from different folders with subfolders to one place for merging.

You have the option to narrow down the list of items to be copied by filtering either by name or file extension. You can also use a value field to indicate the target levels and rename or enumerate files with duplicate names, ensuring that no files are lost during the process. The copying process is quite fast, and a notification will appear once it is completed. In summary, Folder Merger is an efficient solution for extracting files from different locations and consolidating them into a single folder for easier management.

System Requirements

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0+

Prompts

  • It is recommended to run this program as administrator. Running as invoker (not admin) does not guarantee a successful merging process.
  • Folder Merger neither supports non-English character paths nor tool long paths. So it is advisable to make do with short ones (for example, copy the folders from which you will merge files, and the folder to be merged to the root of the disk, and preferably with a short name).
