Pre-release
Aura File Transfer Manager 4.0.0 Beta
Copy only what changed. Know what you already have.
This release introduces two flagship features.
🧠 Atlas — The Index That Knows Your Files
Atlas builds a local, content‑addressed index of every file on every drive you've scanned. Before copying, Aura asks Atlas whether identical content already exists anywhere on your indexed drives. If yes, the file is skipped with an Already Owned status — no bytes move.
- Matches by content hash, not filename
- Runs quietly in the background, pauses automatically during transfers
- Fully local — nothing leaves your machine
- Enable Atlas Smart Skip in Settings to activate
⚡ Delta Copy — Only the Changes Move
Traditional copiers re‑write entire files even when only a small part changed. Delta Copy breaks files into blocks, compares them by hash, and transfers only the blocks that differ.
| Task | Without Delta | With Delta |
|---|---|---|
| Re‑copy a 50 GB VM image (500 MB changed) | ~10 minutes | ~15 seconds |
| Sync a large video project | Full re‑copy | Only modified blocks |
Falls back to a normal copy automatically when a delta copy would be slower.
⚠️ About This Beta
- Atlas needs time to index. Smart Skip only kicks in after the background scanner has catalogued a drive.
- Delta Copy is new. If it fails on unusual filesystems or network shares, Aura falls back to a normal copy automatically.
Please report issues with: transfer type, file sizes, and whether Atlas or Delta Copy was enabled.
