Search Duplicate Files in Network Shares Using UNC Path Names

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.

When working with UNC path names, it is important to keep in mind that all duplicate files removal operations such as link, copy, move and delete will be performed using UNC path names and the user should have appropriate permissions on each specific network share and/or NAS storage device.
