RichCopy is a free utility that was first developed in 2001 and has been updated regularly to keep pace with evolving needs What users will find most striking the first time they take Microsoft RichCopy out for a spin is that it 39 s a multithreaded copying tool

That means that rather than copying one file at a time in serial order RichCopy can open multiple threads simultaneously allowing many files to be copied in parallel and cutting the total time required to complete the operation several times over

You can also pause and resume file copy operations so if you lose network connectivity at any point you can just pick up where you left off

RichCopy is designed to help people who copy huge number of files between storage devices directly or indirectly over the network by accelerating copy performance and shorten the time people has to spend for file copy operation This acceleration has been realized by improving network and storage device utilization with technology used for server services
