With the complexity of today╒s applications and documents, data storage doesn╒t go as far as it used to. You have to maximize what you have.
That╒s where DiskDoubler comes in.
DiskDoubler puts data compression in your hands, allowing you to compress files an average 50% 0 some much more. So, you can fit twice as much data on your hard or floppy disks.
Just point, click, and compress files 50% or more
DiskDoubler is incredibly easy to install and use. Just click a file, folder, or entire disk - then compress or expand.
You use compressed files just like any other file. Simply double click and the file decompresses and opens simultaneously. When you close the file, DiskDoubler quickly recompresses - automatically.
Shared compressed files with others
DiskDoubler is ideal for sending files to other users - even if the recipient doesn╒t have DiskDoubler. Just include the free expansion utility, DDExpand, and any user can open your file. Or, you can make it still easier, by packaging your files into a self-expanding archive (SEA) which will expand on its own without DiskDoubler.
DiskDoubler technology even allows you to expand other compression formats, such as Stufflt 1.5.1 and PackIt archives! So, you get the most flexibility.
Send files safely, securely, and cost effectively
With DiskDoubler, it╒s easy to compress or combine files for faster transmission over a modem or network. You can also split large files for making compressed backups or transferring to floppy disks (then ╥join╙ them later).
In addition to marking your transmissions faster, DiskDoubler can also help ensure their security. An encryption feature allows you to protect your files so they can only be decompressed with the proper password.
Save time, save money
DiskDoubler gives you lots of ways to save both time and money. You save by decreasing the time it takes you to send data over costly modem and network lines. You save the time and expense associated with backup and archiving. And, you save by making your expensive disks to twice as far.
