DriveCompare

DriveCompare

The perfect tool for drive comparison, syncing and verifing files in post-production workflows.

Eigenschaften

  • Compare drives and folders side by side
  • Create and verify ASC MHL manifests
  • Hash-based file verification (MD5, SHA1, xxHash, etc.)
  • Sync missing files from A to B and B to A
  • Export comparison results as RTF reports

The demo version supports comparing drives or directories with up to 500 files, and creating or checking ASC MHL manifests with up to 50 files.

Requires macOS 14 or later

Compare drives - sync and verify files.

Compare drives & sync missing files

Select which 2 drives or directories you want to compare and choose the hash type. If None is selected it will only compare names and file sizes, but not check that the files are exactly the same. You can ignore ASC MHL directories and empty directories.

After comparing, you will get the result which can be exported as an RTF Report. In case there are missing files you will get a "Sync" button to copy the files from A to B and B to A. The copy will use hash verification.

Compare results

View a detailed breakdown of differences between the two drives or directories. Results clearly indicate missing, added, or modified files. Export the full report as an RTF file for documentation or handoff.

ASC MHL Manifest — Create & Check

ASC MHL (Advanced Storage Comparison – Manifest Handling Layer) is an industry-standard specification for structuring file comparison manifests. It standardizes how file metadata—such as paths, hashes, sizes, and timestamps—is recorded, enabling consistent and reliable comparisons across systems.

Create – Generates an ASC MHL manifest for the selected folder and all subfolders. Existing manifests in subfolders are automatically detected and referenced.

Check (Diff) – Compares the selected folder contents against an ASC MHL manifest using file names and sizes to quickly identify differences.

Verify – Validates files against an ASC MHL manifest by recalculating hashes, ensuring data integrity, and updating the ASC MHL chain.

Compare Manifests

Compare two ASC MHL manifests to identify differences in file structure, metadata, or content. This method is not part of the ASC MHL standard and relies on the accuracy of the manifests themselves — useful for cross-referencing archives or backup sets.
