Again we talk about an application that is available for download for free. We are talking about Chipmunk, an application that is responsible for finding and eliminating duplicate files on our hard drive, a task that can save us several GB of storage, especially now that the launch of the new version of the macOS Sierra operating system is approaching.
Every day we are in contact with documents, photos, videos ... files that if they can be useful to us in the future, we will save on our hard drive or on an external drive where we can also be making Time Machine copies. The problem we find it when we do not remember if we have saved it and again, just in case, let's save it again.
Over time, the duplication of files, whether they are documents, videos or photographs, can cause our hard drive to begin to show symptoms of exhaustion in addition to a lack of space. Having several GB free on our Mac is essential if we want it to work properly. If we see that our Mac begins to give symptoms of fatigue it is likely that the space on our hard drive is just enough and necessary to function without allowing us to store more information, especially if it is about movie videos.
Chipmunk allows us to periodically track our Mac in search of this type of files that we keep, just in case, and that in the end are stored in various folders or drives on our Mac. Chipmunk se It is responsible for scanning all the drives connected to our Mac in search of duplicate files and eliminating them. But if we are one of the anxious users and we click directly on delete without checking the content, this application allows us to recover the files that we have deleted, a function that can save our lives from time to time.
it doesn't work for me on Mac OS Sierra (ammagarc@gmail.com)… ..?
