Delete duplicate files in your cloud storage and save space! Supports Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA, Box, pCloud, Yandex.Disk.
Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other cloud services don’t offer built-in tools to find and remove duplicates.
If you store many files in the cloud, it’s easy to lose control and waste space. Automatic mobile backups make this problem even worse.
DeDuplicate scans your cloud storage, finds identical files, and lets you remove the extra copies to free up space.
How it works:
1) Log into your account.
2) Choose one or more folders (or the entire drive) and start the scan. Scan time depends on the NUMBER of files, not their size.
3) Review the detected duplicates and optionally ignore some of them.
4) Confirm the operation.
What makes DeDuplicate different:
• Efficient and fast: files are NOT downloaded. DeDuplicate uses metadata provided by cloud services, so it saves bandwidth, requires no extra storage, and scans are very quick (e.g. ~100,000 files in under 10 minutes, depending on network speed).
• Accurate detection: only EXACT duplicates are detected using file hash values. File names are ignored; contents must be identical.
• Privacy-first: everything runs locally on your device. The app connects directly to cloud providers, with no intermediary servers and no file data collection.
• Cross-platform support.
DeDuplicate currently supports the following cloud services:
(PERSONAL ACCOUNTS - see notes below!)
• OneDrive
• Dropbox
• Google Drive (∗)
• MEGA
• Box
• pCloud
• Yandex.Disk
IMPORTANT: DeDuplicate is designed and tested primarily with PERSONAL/CONSUMER ACCOUNTS. Business, school, or enterprise accounts may behave differently and are not fully supported yet. Improving support for those account types is planned for a future update!
NOTES ABOUT GOOGLE DRIVE:
- Due to recent changes in Google’s requirements for third-party apps, DeDuplicate currently does not have a “verified” status. You can still use Google Drive normally, but signing in requires a small workaround, which is explained step by step inside the app!
- Google proprietary file types (such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.) are treated specially by Google Drive and are NOT included in DeDuplicate’s scan.
WHY DO YOU NEED THIS APP?
Until now, the only practical way to remove duplicates from cloud storage was a very time-consuming workaround: downloading everything to your computer, using one of the many “offline” duplicate-file utilities, and then syncing the changes back to the cloud. In the worst-case scenario, this even means re-uploading everything from scratch. That’s hardly a viable option when you have over 500 GB of unorganized cat pictures :)
DeDuplicate is actively developed. If you encounter any issues, please take the time to contact us!
Update: developer followed through to make this app free with ads. I purchased the $7.99 no ads within the app. I HATE ADS! Thank you for this option. Maybe label the no ads section on the Home Screen “remove ads” so it is easier to find. I had to dig for a minute to find this. Thank you! Five stars! ……………OLD MESSAGE: I saw on a Microsoft forum post this was a great app and makes minutes of months of sorting. I bought the app based on forum recommendations. Now I am watching a 30 second add before searching for duplicate files, watching another ad to run delete duplicates. Why did I have to pay for this if you are running forced ads?

Thanks!!! I really appreciate it. 🏆
Real deal

The app performed fast and perfectly! I ran it against my two cloud drives (google and onedrive)that I needed to clean before consolidating (still haven’t made up my mind but leaning towards google (better tech support)) 745gb and 375gb respectively. Both done in <10 mins. Awesome app and definitely worth $8 or 1.5 starbucks coffees. 👍😊
Failed on Large Data Set

I used this to analyze files stored in my Google Drive. For smaller folders it worked great. For my larger folders it ran, showed what files needed to be removed, then asked me to re-login (because it ran for longer than 60 minutes). I attempted to provide it the previous token but it would not work, then I generated a new token which was also not accepted. In the end it got stuck in an infinite loop asking me for a token I couldn’t provide, and therefore could not remove the duplicate files it detected. I reached out to the creator for technical help but, despite his promise to debug issues, I didn’t hear back from him and it’s been a week. Should have bought a sandwich with my $8 instead :)
Amazing

I’ve been dreaming about this! I have a problem with uploading the same files over and over! This is easily worth the two ads I had to watch. Great service! 🙌🏻
