TeraCopy is a utility from Code Sector designed to copy and move files faster and more reliably than the default Windows file copy dialog. It can verify copied files with checksums to confirm they were not corrupted, automatically resume after an interrupted transfer, and integrates into the Windows shell so it can replace the standard copy/paste operation.
Why TeraCopy Is Faster and Safer Than the Default Windows Copy
Windows' built-in file copy dialog stops the entire operation and asks you to decide immediately when it hits a single locked or errored file. TeraCopy instead queues problem files aside and keeps copying everything else, then lets you retry or skip them at the end. Its checksum verification mode also compares source and destination files after copying, which matters when moving large media libraries or backups where silent corruption would otherwise go unnoticed.
TeraCopy Features
- Faster Copy Engine — an optimized algorithm that can outperform the default Windows copy dialog.
- Checksum Verification — confirms copied files match the originals byte-for-byte.
- Pause and Resume — interrupt a large transfer and continue later without starting over.
- Error Recovery — skips problem files instead of halting the whole copy job.
- Windows Explorer Integration — can replace the default copy/move commands in the shell.
- Copy Queue — stack multiple copy jobs and let them run one after another.
- Shell Context Menu — right-click files to copy, move, or verify them directly.
- Speed Limiting — throttle transfer speed to avoid saturating a shared network or drive.
