Documentation
Guides and common scenarios to get the most out of DiskDog.
Getting Started
Common Scenarios
One-click access with Quick Launcher
Pin files, programs, commands, and URLs for instant launch — with tags, scheduling, and batch actions.
Automate with the Rule Engine
Build rules that watch a folder and automatically copy, move, or delete matching files — on a schedule or on change.
Organize without moving: Virtual Folders
Group files from anywhere on disk into virtual folders — without copying or moving the originals.
Auto-organize your Downloads folder
Turn a cluttered Downloads folder into tidy, categorized subfolders — by type, size, date, or sensitive keywords.
Reclaim space: empty, cold & duplicate files
Use the File Cleaner and Disk Info tools to find and remove files that waste space — safely.
Monitor disks and find large files
See usage, real-time read/write speed, SMART health, and the biggest files on any drive.
Find every copy of a file
Pick one file and locate all its copies across selected folders — by exact content or fuzzy similarity.
Encrypt files and folders
Protect sensitive data with AES-256-GCM encryption — single files, batches, or whole folders.
Compare near-identical files
Scan a folder for files that are similar (not just identical) — to spot versions, edits, and almost-duplicates.
