Copying large number of files in Mac can be frustrating, because there is little, if none, indicators what is happening and how fast it is happening. And lack of pause transfers really forces me to use external applications when moving large amounts of files. Especially when using network drive, pause option is really handy for transfers that take up hours or even days.
Comparing Windows 10 and MacOS High Sierra copy dialogs makes the problem clear:
There is no visible way to pause copying or any indication what file is being processed. Also graph for speed-history is just neat for troubleshooting, but not really a “killer-feature”.
Also the lack of “overwrite”-methods are really annoying, but by holding Option-key one can get more options. But why is this feature also hidden behind key shortcut that is not indicated visually anywhere?
Mainly my biggest issue with MacOS is the way how it clearly does not want to copy good features from Windows. I don’t know if it’s some kind of attitude problem or are Apple developers just blind of the good sides of Windows?
