Just finished installing a 2TB drive in my MBP, so now have room for docs/photos/etc. which had previously been spread across various drives (including iCloud with 'optimise storage' turned on).

A lot of the impetus behind this was to move over to having all of the above on my internal SSD, and then have a more coherent backup strategy.

I fear that having done it the above way, I will have a good few duplicate files scattered across all the above HDDs/iCloud Drive.

Rather than putting the whole mess onto the new internal SSD, I'd rather spend a little time de-duplicating it first, but is there a good application to do this reliably and intelligently (e.g., not just whether the filename/modification date is the same, etc.) and can also handle iCloud Drive files?

Thanks in advance.
