I've been developing NeatShift, a Windows application designed to help users organize their files and folders seamlessly using symbolic links. The aim is to declutter storage without disrupting file accessibility.
Key Features:
Smart Moving: Relocate files while NeatShift creates symbolic links to maintain system functionality.
Safety Measures: Options for quick backups with NeatSaves and system restore points to ensure data integrity.
Integrated File Explorer: Modern interface with drag-and-drop support, customizable views, and both light and dark themes.
Link Management: Easily view and manage all symbolic links in one place.
I initiated this project to address the challenges of managing large files on limited SSD storage, ensuring that moving files doesn't break application dependencies. NeatShift is open-source (GPL-3.0 license), and I'm actively seeking feedback and contributors to enhance its functionality.

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
