NiceCopier
NiceCopier
NiceCopier is a simple, easy-to-use and handy instrument designed to replace the Windows Explorer file copy. This application adds many features like pausing, resuming and it calculates the best copy speed. Its main goal is to improve the copy organization and GUI. NiceCopier shows all copy tasks in one window, you can specify how many should be shown at once in the settings. If you have more tasks then you need to scroll to see them. To improve copy performance NiceCopier creates a task queue when you copy from or to the same drive where there is already a task running. By default NiceCopier only shows the task after 2s, this improves a bit the performance. If you disable this NiceCoper shows the icons that are also showed by windows-explorer, but it will take more time to load the list. Also after the copy finished in a cut-paste operation you have 5s to cancel the task before the source will be deleted.

Arq
Arq
We believe you shouldn't have to give up your privacy or control to get the benefits of the cloud. Arq backs up your files to a cloud account you already have, or attached disk, or both, with strong, end-to-end encryption so your data are only readable by you. Arq uses filesystem snapshot technology to make perfect, point-in-time backups of your files, even if your files are changing during the backup process. Arq keeps multiple backups of your files — a backup history. So if you discover a file was corrupted, or accidentally deleted, or encrypted by a ransomware attack, you can go back and get the old version. Arq Backup integrates with many different cloud providers. So if you have a cloud account with some extra space available, use it for encrypted, versioned backups of your important files.
