Duplicate files · Duplicates in cloud accounts

\n

Can Storage Studio find duplicates in my cloud accounts?

\n

Short answer: Yes. Each connected cloud account — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, S3-style bucket storage, FTP or SFTP — gets its own row in Duplicates. It's checked using the provider's own file fingerprints, so nothing is downloaded, and extra copies can be removed right there.

\n

Yes. Every cloud account you've connected in Storage Studio gets its own row under Cloud & remote in the Duplicates sidebar, labelled with its real provider — for example Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Amazon S3 or another bucket storage service, FTP or SFTP.

\n

Each account is checked using the content fingerprints the provider keeps for every file, so nothing is downloaded. Results appear as they're found, and you can remove extra copies right there: one copy, the rest of a set, or every set in the account.

\n

Accounts are checked one at a time and never against each other. To connect an account, see cloud accounts.
