In order to simplify detection of duplicate files in networked computers and/or NAS storage devices, DupScout allows one to specify directories that should be processed using UNC path names without mounting each network share as a local disk.

Multiple UNC path names (separated by the semicolon character) may be entered into the directories entry located under the main toolbar or permanently specified in the profile dialog. Duplicate files detected using UNC path names will be prefixed with an appropriate server/share name according to the location of each specific duplicate file.

When working with UNC path names, it is important to keep in mind that all cleanup actions will be performed using UNC path names and the user should have appropriate permissions on each specific network share and/or NAS storage device.
