On Windows, I use TeraCopy for improved file copying. Are there any similar equivalents for OS X?

In particular, I'd like to see things like copy speed.


Solution 1:

I looked around for something like TeraCopy a while back but everything I found was pretty horrid. In the end I decided to just use cp and rsync on the command line.

Solution 2:

The best suggestions from this thread are:

  • Pathfinder
  • XFile
  • UltraCopier
  • MiniCopier

Solution 3:

Since you mentioned “better” and in particular “copy speed”, I believe the only answer is Xfile. Other than that, nothing will beat cp ;)

The world’s fastest file manager for OS X

It’s not free, quite the contrary.

Solution 4:

Try Ultracopier, looks a bit like TeraCopy and works on Mac & PC

Solution 5:

While much more than just a copy utility, Pathfinder shows copy speed. Along with Launchbar, it's one of my must have utilities.
