Review of the GS RichCopy 360 Software
One of the computer software that users, especially those that work a lot with a lot of files will miss on the Windows platform is the Microsoft Richcopy software. Several attempts to replace the software which offers users expanded copy functions have been made and as much as most of them hardly match up, the GS Richcopy 360 stands out in this class. Also offering characteristic date migration and replication, the software is perhaps a necessity for users who often need to have multiple copies of files and would like some organization in handling these files.
It might be difficult for a new user of the GS Richcopy 360 to fully explore the expanded functionality of the software but this surely gets better as even within the software, there are video guides apart from the pdf version of the admin guide that accompanies the software. In all, the GS Richcopy 360 is a must have for any Microsoft user whose work involves a lot of files. Most especially, if you have to perform a lot of file copying, the software offers a seamless copying process irrespective of the size or types of files involved. User-specific configurations can also be used to run jobs. The software also allows user to monitor jobs as they go on and does not character length in file paths. Using the software to run backups just makes the process a lot easier. One of its kind I must say.

Download and Installation
The first feature of any outstanding software is the ease of download and installation and although the GS Richcopy 360 does not get full marks here, the software is quite easily downloaded. With the most dependable source being from the Gurusquad website, the software can be downloaded at no cost. Although upon installation, the downloaded software would only run in a trial mode until activation which as expected comes with a cost. And as is noticed in some other software, there is no option for offline activation. The installation process is also quite direct and does not require any technical knowledge. The Downloaded package, alongside a ×64 and ×86 version of the software, also comes with a pdf version of an admin guide to using the software.
Interface
The interface of the GS Richcopy 360 is quite simple and this makes it user-friendly. However, a premium software user might desire some more elegance and sophistication even with the simplicity offered by the software. But then again, we dont always get what we want and functionality triumphs over aesthetics every time. One major point to note is the fact that upon launching the software as an admin, a command prompt temporarily pops up. For a user who is not used to this, this tends to cause some panic.

Performance
Users who had experience with the Microsoft Richcopy might be skeptical about the performance of the GS Richcopy 360 but a trial is sure to change that. For the purpose of this review, the software was run on Windows 10 and it ran very smoothly on Windows 10. The software is also said to be compatible with other Microsoft based Operating Systems. Some other major pros of the software are its ability to copy files with long path names and users can automate the replication multiple times per day. GS Richcopy 360 also copies NTFS Windows permissions and their file attributes. A user can also monitor (including full details) and manage jobs as they go on. The software can also be used to create backups to a local storage device and even to a server.
