Directory Splitter1.0

Not so long ago files needed to be carefully divided into multiple parts to fit on small storage devices for distribution. This is less of an issue nowadays, but the problem can still exist. Rather than splitting one file at a time, Directory Splitter wants to let you target an entire folder, distributing files in multiple folders to easily carry around in turns.

Lightweight and easy to use

It doesn’t take a lot of time to go through the installer to make the application work. However, it relies on .NET Framework to function, so it’s a good idea to deploy it on your computer if it’s not already there, but chances are it is, because it’s a default feature bundled inside modern Windows iterations.Little effort is invested in the visual design, with the application focused on practicality rather than looks. This doesn’t mean you spend a lot of time accommodation, with a clean, intuitive layout of features across the interface. A couple of fields need to be used to set the source and destination for the operation.

Set file size filter, and join content together

It would have been useful to see a context menu integration for even faster workflow, but you can assign a hotkey command to its shortcut to have it launched regardless of Explorer location. Apart from source and destination, you also need to specify the target file size, and whether or not to copy files instead of moving them.It can take a little while for the program to finish the task, but this is mostly the case when having to process large directories. Apart from splitting, it also comes with a join tool, which neatly helps you bundle all parts back into a single folder structure.

To sum it up

All things considered, we can state that Directory Splitter can cleverly divide content of a large folder into multiple bits to make distribution of large data sets easy. It’s recommended to target a folder with stand-alone files, such as documents or pictures so you don’t risk making programs or games faulty.
