Review:

- Downloading of File Monkey and website of company -

Downloading file monkey is fortunately easy.
What you have to do is just to go to the website of Monkeyjob Systems; it is an English company that has a well organized site; it is important the fact that the address is clearly written on the page for contacts, so you understand that it is a serious company well established.

You can be shure also it is virus free, indeed we have tested the package using one of the leading antivirus available on market; it is also easy the procedure of installation, very fast no problems of sort, a clear EULA module is the only thing you have to accept.
No complicated downloaders or strange registering procedures.

Considered all this you undertstand it is well worthwile to be downloaded and tested.

Please remember that the downloaded free version is a shareware, so you have 30 days only of time for testing it.

The site of Monkeyjob Systems is good and organized but a little "technical" about its style, so you have to be carefull to find exactly the right downloading button and the form that has the name of "File Monkey" software; this because they make some other product.

In a few words the site anticipates a little the style of this software that is synthetic and technical and could take great advantage by implementing a better user interface, more understandable and frendly to user.

Without any doubt anyway, it is a software and a company that have a professional standard. A very good contact form is also included in their site.

- Testing the software -

But now what is exactly this "File Monkey"?
The answer is that it is an advanced file manager you can install
on your Pc, a software that has also many other specfic commands to make particular treatment of files and folders that you have on all units of your Pc.

So the main window is very well conceived because of its simplicity; you will immediately see all units of your pc on left side and folders and subfolders.

As usual for such programs, files found into the selected folders appear in the right window; of course you can apply many filters and selection options to list only the type of folders you are really interested in.
Of course also the CD is listed along all units of your Pc.

The very interesting thing of this software is that allows to find also hidden files. So you can do a deep observation of all contents of a selected unit.
You can also set up a filtering system that lists only files of a certain size or written in a certain delay of time.
There are really a lot of settings for filtering and finding particular files.

So the most interesting function is the possibility of making very accurate search of files on your laptop, after selecting certain settings.

Of course is also very effective in other functions like deleting files, managing files, splitting files and resizing them considering the number of bytes.
It has also a very important function that allows to wipe free
space on disk and delete definitively files (almost), so they cannot be recovered.
It is also able to rename files and merge and edit certain files.

It can change also the attributes of files so one has to be very carefull installing this software on certain units because user could make damages on his Pc.

It is also able to make encryption of files though it is not easy to understand what algorithm is used for such task, and it can change the case of letters inside files.

So it makes many things at such extent that is is also possible to write little batch procedures to do this things authomatically.

All this functions are not immediately easy to understand about how should be done accurately and carefully so this may induce some perplexity in users that would like to test such software.

Conclusion:

This is a good software for people who has to make accurate managment and search of files on the units of Pc. Offers also a special series of additional functions about managment of files for splitting, encrypting them, searching inside, editing etc.
