Search for duplicate files in a cloud storage

There are applications for finding duplicate files on our devices. But there are not so many applications for searching cloud storages. DeDuplicate is one of the very few representatives of this kind of utilities.

You give the application access to the files in a cloud and start scanning them. You can specify individual folders or the entire cloud. Once the scan is complete, you will need to check which files you want to keep and which you want to discard.

The advantage is that DeDuplicate does not download files to your device and the size of files is not particularly important for the speed of scanning.

The utility supports Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA and Yandex.Disk. There are versions for iOS and Android available.

The free app that makes your Internet safer and faster

WARP is a free VPN for everyone. This application has become analogue to a VPN.

VPN hides the original IP address (where and who you are), WARP does not. But it encrypts traffic because it uses the Cloudflare DNS service. WARP is designed to protect information while transmitting data over the network. It protects against leaks on public networks, sniffers, tracking by ISPs or ad networks. Basically, WARP is basically a VPN.

Why are VPNs worse? They slow down devices, reduce traffic speeds, and kill the battery. WARP is not. Yes, it's not designed to access blocked resources, but it does the job! It speeds your internet up!
