## What is DeDuplicate?

Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other cloud services don’t offer built-in tools to find and remove duplicates.

If you store many files in the cloud, it’s easy to lose control and waste space. Automatic mobile backups make this problem even worse.

DeDuplicate scans your cloud storage, finds identical files, and lets you remove the extra copies to free up space.

How it works:

1) Log into your account.  
2) Choose one or more folders (or the entire drive) and start the scan. Scan time depends on the NUMBER of files, not their size.  
3) Review the detected duplicates and optionally ignore some of them.  
4) Confirm the operation.

What makes DeDuplicate different:

• Efficient and fast: files are NOT downloaded. DeDuplicate uses metadata provided by cloud services, so it saves bandwidth, requires no extra storage, and scans are very quick (e.g. ~100,000 files in under 10 minutes, depending on network speed).  
• Accurate detection: only EXACT duplicates are detected using file hash values. File names are ignored; contents must be identical.  
• Privacy-first: everything runs locally on your device. The app connects directly to cloud providers, with no intermediary servers and no file data collection.  
• Cross-platform support.

DeDuplicate currently supports the following cloud services:  
(PERSONAL ACCOUNTS - see notes below!)

• OneDrive  
• Dropbox  
• Google Drive (∗)  
• MEGA  
• Box  
• pCloud  
• Yandex.Disk

IMPORTANT: DeDuplicate is designed and tested primarily with PERSONAL/CONSUMER ACCOUNTS. Business, school, or enterprise accounts may behave differently and are not fully supported yet. Improving support for those account types is planned for a future update!

NOTES ABOUT GOOGLE DRIVE:

-   Due to recent changes in Google’s requirements for third-party apps, DeDuplicate currently does not have a “verified” status. You can still use Google Drive normally, but signing in requires a small workaround, which is explained step by step inside the app!
-   Google proprietary file types (such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.) are treated specially by Google Drive and are NOT included in DeDuplicate’s scan.

WHY DO YOU NEED THIS APP?

Until now, the only practical way to remove duplicates from cloud storage was a very time-consuming workaround: downloading everything to your computer, using one of the many “offline” duplicate-file utilities, and then syncing the changes back to the cloud. In the worst-case scenario, this even means re-uploading everything from scratch. That’s hardly a viable option when you have over 500 GB of unorganized cat pictures :)

DeDuplicate is actively developed. If you encounter any issues, please take the time to contact us!

### 5/5 — Works great, worth the price

*2026-06-23*

Worked great for dropbox! Cleared dozens of GBs of data for me out of my 2.5TB of data within 10 mins

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE

*2026-06-01*

Downloaded and attempted to use immediately after purchase. The app repeatedly displayed Error 403 and PERMISSION_DENIED messages and was unable to perform its advertised function. Unfortunately, I was unable to use the service I paid for.

APPLE WILL NOT REFUND 
IVE LOST £7.99 I’m FUMING

### 2/5 — Не мог войти в Яндекс. Диск

*2026-03-04*

Верните деньги! Не могу зайти в Яндекс. Диск. Поддержка не отвечает. В возврате средств отказали!

Дополнение. Через 4 дня всё-таки зашёл в Яндекс. Диск. Но поддержка все равно так и не ответила

### 5/5 — Great for Google Drive

*2026-01-04*

My Google Drive was an absolute mess with literally thousands of duplicates and storage nearly full. 
After battling with it for hours, I asked AI what to do and found my way to this app. A few minutes later it was sorted, having located all duplicates and moving them to the trash folder. Very easy to use & worth it.

### 5/5 — :D

*2025-12-18, version 2.6.0*

Works perfectly

### 1/5 — Not working - asked for refund

*2025-11-20*

Google has revoked trusted access for this app, and although the developer is offering a workaround (via a developer access token), it’s kicking back errors. Requesting a refund.

### 2/5 — No photo option

*2025-10-02, version 2.6.0*

Does not give you an option to scan Google photos. Just the drive. Waste money

### 1/5 — Waste of money and time

*2025-09-23*

Doesn’t work especially with Google Drive shows no files

### 5/5 — worked well on dropbox

*2025-08-11*

A big time saver - nice UI

### 1/5 — Didn't work with my GDrive

*2025-07-26, version 2.6.0*

Sent feedback, waiting for reponse

## Frequently asked questions about DeDuplicate

### What does DeDuplicate do?

DeDuplicate scans your connected cloud storage services like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox to find and remove identical files. This helps you free up valuable storage space that is often wasted on duplicate copies.

### How does DeDuplicate find duplicate files?

The app uses file hash values to accurately detect exact duplicates. It compares the content of files, ignoring file names, to ensure that only identical files are identified. Files are not downloaded during the scan, making the process efficient and private.

### Which cloud services does DeDuplicate support?

DeDuplicate currently supports personal accounts for OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, MEGA, Box, pCloud, and Yandex.Disk. It is primarily designed and tested for consumer accounts, with improvements for business or enterprise accounts planned for future updates.

### Is DeDuplicate free to use?

The app is free to download and offers in-app purchases. While you can scan your cloud storage for duplicates for free, you will likely need to make an in-app purchase to remove the identified duplicate files and reclaim space.

### What are the benefits of using DeDuplicate?

The primary benefit is reclaiming cloud storage space by efficiently removing duplicate files. It offers a fast and privacy-focused solution, as files are not downloaded and processing occurs locally on your device. This avoids the time-consuming manual process of downloading, cleaning, and re-uploading files.
