5 Tips to Manage Files More Efficiently

We keep on downloading/creating various files (music,videos,documents etc.) on our computer as a result  we have lot of documents which becomes difficult to manage. Having plenty of documents for quite common when it comes to office environment so I have decided enlist some freeware which should help you to manage files more easily.

  1. Duplicate file Killer: Duplicate files cause unnecessary strain of system resources. You can easily free up hard disk space by removing unnecessary duplicate files with “Fast Duplicate File Finder”. The application will analyze the content of the files in order to find similar files and not just file attributes like name and size as the standard duplicate file finders do.Fast Duplicate File Finder will help you find fast all duplicate files in a folder and its sub folders even if they are using different file names.
  2. Organize them in Folders: You can also  reduce the clutter by moving files into a directory with same name as file name. This Task is accomplished by  file to folder application. The application creates a Folder from any File Name and move the File to its newly created Folder. It gives you option to filter files, include subdirectory and get a preview of how it will look  like when you hit preview. You can select at root level and include all sub-folders or register the application with the shell and "right-click" any file you wish to have it's own folder created based on its name and moved immediately into its new folder.
  3. Undelete files:  Sometimes we delete files accidently and realize our mistake later. FreeUndelete restores deleted files, including those removed from Windows Recycle Bin. FreeUndelete is free for personal use.
  4. Move and Copy Files Faster: Copying, moving or deleting a heavy file really  takes a lot of your valuable time. FastCopy is a powerful windows utility that lets you copy, move, sync, or delete files instantly. It completes every task faster than the normal windows speed. It also does not slow your system down during the process.
  5. Universal Viewer:  Normally we  encounter files with different file formats and we can’t have different file reader for each and every different type of file. Universal Viewer is an advanced file reader which supports viewing of wide range of file formats. Text, Image, Multimedia, Internet and lot of other files are supported.

25 WAYS TO CONVERT YOUR FILE TO PDF.

Last week I was busy with my project presentation and I had to to convert my word file to pdf(Adobe) document.Let me tell you first that , PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a global exchange document created by Adobe and is the most popular, reliable and recognized international standard for viewing and managing electronic documents in the world. If you have a limited internet connectivity or if you don’t have access to internet all the time then you can convert websites to PDF format and carry them with you where ever you want.So I felt many of you may also require such tools. Adobe charges a good sum($200) for creating pdf files even when many of the other providers offer this service for free .Hence I have tried to list down all the possible tools.

Simply upload your document and it will be automatically converted to PDF.
  5. Fast PDF : Fast PDF is a web-based service that lets you convert Microsoft Word documents to PDF! The PDF format makes it easy to share documents with others and ensures that they will look the way you intended.

  6. ZAMZAR : It lets you convert almost any file to literally any form so also it lets You convert your .txt (Notepad),.doc (WORD),.ppt (Power point) etc….To PDF form.But the problem it lets you to convert only 5 consecutive conversions in its free version for more you have to upgrade to their paid version.Well not bad for non-commercial use

No software needs to be installed on your computer. Simply upload the file to convert and select one of the two delivery methods i)either wait in browser till file is converted or ii)E-mail the link to me. The upload limit is 1MB per file.
