So, does anyone know of a good, currently maintained and updated, GUI (graphical interface) for RoboCopy?

This looks promising, although its not maintained and updated for a long time.

I dont want to be rude, but I tried the program (portable version) and it works for me perfectly. What do you mean by “maintained and updated”, if the fundament remains the same for 10 years? To have shiny new buttons every few months like Windows does? Its just series of cmd commands underneath.

I worry about continued compatibility with current versions of the operating system and its ever-shifting user controls and Registry settings. And in this case, the many changes to PowerShell over the years. Also, a security update once in awhile is needed for some utilities.

Maybe none of this applies here, but I remain skeptical.

Oh now I understand. But I am affraid, that this is just the situation we live in. There is just constant stream of changes, that can break functional SW.With no backwards compatibility guaranteed for 3rd party SW of course
I also found, that in the past, there was GUI for robocopy made by Microsoft in Windows 7, which I cant find anymore, the link to MS web doesnt work anymore. Its obviously dead end.

It seems like its available on Windows servers still (because Microsoft cant afford to fiddle with servers as he does with workstations).

Robocopy or Robust File Copy is available in Windows 10, however, it is a function that can only be used through a command-line directory. As of today, the Microsoft Robocopy GUI is available in Microsoft Windows Servers, check this article for your reference.

• Windows 8 & 8.1 – 32 ways

So the conclusion could be – the newer operating system is, the more holes it contains? Link to the website would be nice.

Correct. Windows 10 is less secure with more security bugs than Windows 7.
There is no need for links, just go over the monthly Windows update lists.

I thought it would be interesting reading. More bugs comes with more functions and dependencies. Of course if they create more versatile and complex system, it will contain more holes. But they keep feeding us how secure and perfect their “new OS” is. That is where my scepticism comes from.
Also, thats why I will never buy “smart kettle” or fridge, that automatically orders my food. Im old fashioned. And I know that those things will break and mulfunction. Or will be hacked in the worst case.
