Duplicate Files Fixer finds duplicate photos, videos, music, documents, and other files, then lets users inspect and remove copies. It scans computers, external drives, and cloud storage. Matching checks file contents, so identical files can be detected even when names differ. Users can preview grouped results and choose which copies to delete; Auto Mark selects extra copies in each group while leaving one unmarked. On Windows, it can scan Google Drive and Dropbox after users sign in and select folders. The free version scans unlimited files and removes up to 15 duplicates in one go, with further deletions handled one at a time. The paid version removes all marked duplicates in one click. Files deleted from a PC go to the Recycle Bin by default, but files deleted from USB devices and network drives do not. Duplicate Files Fixer is listed for Android, macOS, and Windows. The paid plan is 35.95 EUR per year at the discounted annual license price; the page also lists €64.95 as the product price. The purchase page offers a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Duplicate Files Fixer: the full review
Duplicate Files Fixer offers review controls and automatic marking for duplicate cleanup across several storage locations. The free version can scan without a file limit, but its batch deletion limit is 15 duplicates at a time.
Overview
Duplicate Files Fixer is a duplicate-file cleanup app for photos, videos, music, documents and other files. It best suits people who want to inspect matches before deleting them, particularly Windows users scanning Google Drive or Dropbox folders. Content matching can find identical files despite different names, but the free version’s batch limit makes a large cleanup more practical on the paid plan.
Key features
The app scans computers, external drives and cloud storage, with matching criteria that include file content, name, size, creation date, modification date and similar filenames. Matching file contents is useful when copies have been renamed; name-based criteria can surface candidates, but a similar name alone does not establish that files are identical.
Grouped results can be previewed, and users choose which copies to delete. Auto Mark selects extra copies in each group while leaving one unmarked, reducing repetitive selection on routine scans. It is a starting point, not a reason to skip review. Folder exclusions help keep chosen locations out of a scan.
The Windows version can scan Google Drive and Dropbox after the user signs in and selects folders. Deleted PC files go to the Recycle Bin by default, but files removed from USB devices and network drives do not. That difference makes careful review especially important on those drives.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free version | 0.00 USD per free | Unlimited file scans; removes up to 15 duplicates in one go, then further deletions one at a time. |
| Duplicate Files Fixer | 35.95 EUR per year | Removes all marked duplicates in one click; purchase page offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. |
The free plan is useful for scanning and modest, incremental cleanup, but its 15-duplicate batch cap can make clearing a large backlog tedious. The paid plan removes that batch constraint for marked files. The purchase page calls €35.95 a special download price, says the license is billed annually at the discounted price, and also lists €64.95 as the product price; buyers should factor in the annual billing and stated 60-day guarantee.
Platforms
Duplicate Files Fixer supports Android, macOS and Windows. Google Drive and Dropbox folder scanning is a Windows feature. The maker advertises 24/7 priority email support and gives [email protected] for download problems.
Who it's for
Choose it if you need to compare grouped duplicate candidates across local and external storage, or want Windows scanning for selected Google Drive and Dropbox folders. It is less compelling for anyone expecting the free version to clear many duplicates in one operation, or anyone relying on Recycle Bin recovery after deleting from USB or network drives.
Pros and cons
- Content-based matching: Finds identical files even when their names differ.
- Review before deletion: Grouped previews, manual choices and Auto Mark offer control over which copies remain.
- Broad scan locations: Covers computers, external drives and cloud storage, with Google Drive and Dropbox support on Windows.
- Free batch limit: Only 15 duplicates can be removed in one go; later deletions must be made one at a time.
- Uneven recovery: PC deletions go to the Recycle Bin by default, unlike deletions from USB and network drives.

Verdict
Duplicate Files Fixer is a sound fit for people who want preview-led cleanup across several storage locations, especially Windows users scanning selected cloud folders. Its content matching and automatic marking make selection more manageable; the main reason to look elsewhere is the free plan’s restrictive batch deletion, alongside the lack of Recycle Bin protection on USB and network drives.
