Sorterox is a useful tool for keeping your files organized and properly sorted with a minimum of work on your part. All you have to do is take a few minutes to configure the app, and then sit back and let it work for you.

Pros

Creating rules: This program comes preloaded with some basic rules for file sorting, and you can add your own as you see fit. You can also activate and inactivate different rules at different times just by checking or unchecking them depending on your current needs.

Auto-sort: The Auto-sort feature allows you to create one folder where you save all of your files, and they will then be automatically sorted into appropriate folders by the app itself. You can set up Auto-sort to monitor the main folder at whatever increment of time makes the most sense for you, be it minutes, hours, days, or weeks, and you can even set up two of these to run in the background at once.

Cons

No Help: There is no Help feature associated with this program. While the interface presents most features in a pretty straightforward manner, it would still be nice to have something to refer back to if you do run into trouble.

Bottom Line

Sorterox for Mac provides a valuable and convenient service, and while you do have to invest a little time in setting up the program up front, it will return that to you many times over in the long run.

Developer's Description

Sorterox is the simple way to sort, organize and copy hundreds or thousands of your files and folders with a single Drag-and-Drop using your own rules. In the daily work flow there are too many files to sort, copy and backup, when organizing photos for your website, blog, and backups, when duplicating files and folders, making copies of audio and image files for your iPad, iPod or iPhone, and when you want to organize your downloaded files. Why spend valuable time sorting, moving and copying each item by hand? Just use Sorterox.

Sorts, organizes and copies your files automatically into the right folder with a powerful engine, making your daily work flow easier. You no longer need to move or copy each file by hand. Put all your files in only one folder and Sorterox sorts and organizes them into different folders for you. Sorts and organizes your files and folders dependent on the rules which you create for your own needs and priorities. The Auto Sort engine sorts and organizes files inside the source folders automatically in the background and logs the sorting process in a log file. It can monitor two source folders simultaneous in background. In order to sort and organize different file types into different folders, create a Rule for each file type. Creating more than one rule for a file type let you sort the same file type in different folders when you use keywords or file date created or modified. The powerful sorting engine allows you to sort and organize files by file type and keywords. Additional it can limit the sorting process by file date created and modified. Can create automatically subfolders based on current date. Enables automatically creating of subfolders based on creation or modification date of files. These features give you a powerful tool to sort and organize your files by date. Supports drag-and-drop. An intelligent Drag-&-Drop engine makes the application easy to use. Drop as many files as you want or a folder that contains hundreds or thousands of files to the main window or to the application icon to sort, copy and backup your files and folders. When you drop files or folders on the Sorterox application icon, Sorterox starts up and immediately begins the job. If the checkbox "Quit after Job" is checked in the preferences, Sorterox will quit automatically after the job is finished.
