A tiny application to help tidy up your folders

Suction is a free, portable app that will help sort out messy folders in no time at all.

Are you one of those people who has hundreds of folders on their system, in no particular order? Suction is a tiny portable application that can help.

Suction works by consolidating parent directories. For example, if your images directory is full of unnecessary folders, drag the folder into the Suction interface, and it will do away with the folders, leaving you just with the files. This is also useful for people who download a lot of stuff, as you can end up with a very untidy tree of folders and sub folders.

Clicking Suction's information button opens the options, which allows you to make various tweaks that take Suction from an average program to a really impressive and useful tool. The little app can be added to the context menu, and you can configure it to remove duplicates, rename your files, and even automatically sort them into new folders. It also logs your actions, and allows you to enable an undo button.

Suction used to be a really basic tool. Recent versions, however, have gone from good to great, adding options and features that make it a stand-out option to have in your PC kit.

Suction is a neat little folder consolidation tool that makes a great addition to your portable application collection
