   Pros, Cons

   I love DocFetcher! I discovered this gem of a program when Windows stopped supporting string searches in word processors other than Word.

   🏁 Competitors: the generic string search available in Windows, Agent Ransack, Locate32, Everything by Voidtools

   👍 Pros:    Beautiful intuitive interface. easy to use, once you set up the index.

   👎 Cons:    If you have a large collection of files to index, you will eventually be unable to search all your documents at the same time. you have to set up separate indexes and search each one separately. available in a variety of versions, up to 64 bit.|The help files are good. however, learning how to set up an index can be frustrating.

DocFetcher mentions (12)

• Tool to parse, index, and search local documents? - Windows

  I use https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html to index and search large repos of docs. I use Papermerge for my digital file cabinet though. DocFetcher is good for searching an existing repository of files. Source: about 1 year ago

• Docfetcher is a cross-platform free and open source desktop search application

  As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. Source: over 1 year ago

• Career Advice for a fresh graduate who wants to enter Structural Engineering field

  What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do you organize yourself?

  I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• No help from Google. TL;DR- don't trust them with your data

  I just used multcloud.com to transfer all of my photos to Dropbox. Im pretty sure it retained all of the original photo data and was way easier than that takeout bullshit. Source: 11 months ago

• Google Workspace emailed me saying i reached my limit

  Better use Rclone for this. I don't have very much experience using rsync, but I know Rclone would do this job very fine. If you don't want to get a VPS or run Rclone locally, you could consider a service like multcloud.com to migrate from Google Drive to Dropbox. Source: 12 months ago

• please teach me a fast way to copy/sync all photos in Google photos to another cloud storage without download, I deleted these photos in my Android smartphone

  I did some Googling, and found there's a service called MultCloud. Source: about 1 year ago

• Gmail/Google Workspace Drive Migration

  I might have found a workaround if no one else has any other idea. This site (multcloud.com) is for transferring between clouds. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Google Photos migration tool

  I have tried multcloud.com, cloudsfer.com end some minor ones. None of these are accurate IMHO. They are not able to move all contents leaving me with an issue to check hundreds of items. Also they do not provide a simple feature: move ALL from A to B, period. I do have loose photos and many Albums I would like to preserve. Sadly, Google Drive desktop client is not able to create Albums based on directories. Source: over 2 years ago
