Checksum Folders

Checksum Folders calculates and compares the checksums of all files in a folder and it’s subfolders. You can export the results as a text or CSV file. WHY CHECKSUMS ARE USEFUL • Is my backup working? Compare an important folder on your harddisk or SSD with it’s backed up version. • Is my harddisk or SSD damaged? Compare a folder on your harddisk or SSD with an earlier version from a year ago. • Is my RAM corrupt? Compare a larger folder with it’s duplicate. • Is my folder copy forensically sound? Compare your copy with the original files and export your results. FEATURES • Calculates and creates a list of checksums of all files in a folder and it’s subfolders. • Compares (if needed) two folders and checks if they are identical. • You can interrupt your calculation or check, save your progress and continue another day. • You can save your completed calculation results and check them against another (or the same) folder later. • Export your results (just calculation or calculation & check) as a textfile or as a spreadsheet compatible CSV file. • Supported checksum algorithms are MD5 (faster) and SHA 1 (cryptographically more robust). • Shows the calculation progress of large files and the folder as a whole. • Uses a speed and memory efficient computation and data storage model. • Supports drag and drop. • 100% hand crafted native Mac application. Tip 1: Store your Checksum Folders’ savefile within your backup. Now you can check the integrity of your backup whenever needed. Tip 2: If you just want to calculate single checksums or if you want to compare a file with it’s checksum on a webpage, please take a look at Checksum Utility in the Mac App Store, it is made specifically for this purpose, for single files.
