Pick the folder with your Publisher files
Or drag the folder onto this box.
Chrome and Edge will ask "Upload files to this site?" That's their standard wording for letting a page read a folder. Click Upload: the files stay on your computer, and this page is built so it can't send them anywhere.
Questions
How do I find out how many Publisher files I have?
Open this page on the computer where your files are, click Choose a folder, and pick the folder where your bulletins and newsletters are kept. The page counts every .pub file inside it, including the folders inside it, and shows how many are exact copies.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The counting happens inside your web browser, on your computer. The page is built so it cannot send anything anywhere, and we never see your file names or your numbers unless you choose to send them with the free file check. If you'd like to be sure, disconnect from the internet after this page loads. It still works.
Why does my browser ask to upload files?
Chrome and Edge ask "Upload files to this site?" any time a page wants to read a folder. That is their standard wording. Click Upload to let this page read the folder. Nothing is sent.
What counts as a duplicate?
Two files are exact copies when their contents match byte for byte, even if their names are different. Files with names like "Copy of", "(2)" or "final" are listed separately, because they are often slightly different versions.
Can it count files on a shared drive?
Yes, if the drive shows up on your computer (for example as the S: drive or in OneDrive). Very large drives take longer, because the page reads each file to find the copies.
