Create virtual folder on MacOS? Or similar software on MacOS?

Post by wwcanoer »

(1) Any way to manually create a Duplicate Cleaner virtual folder on MacOS? That I then import into DC on a windows machine.

(2) Any MacOS deduplicators that use virtual folders?

Why: On a MacOS system, I want to purge old external hard drives of duplicate material. I don't have access to the current system, so I want them to create a virtual folder of the current files, and then I'll run DC compare between the virtual folder and old external drives on Windows.

I'm skeptical that I will find a macOS program that can do this.

The only way you can do it is if you can somehow mount the MacOS drive as a share and scan it from Windows.

Duplicate Cleaner 5 doesn't run on Mac, but version 6 (in development) will.

I don't know of any Mac programs that will generate the Virtual folders in our format.
