FolderSync

FolderSync is an approachable and intuitive software application that gives you the possibility to synchronize files and folders. It comes loaded with a bunch of advanced settings that can be configured by all user levels.

Wrapped in a large window with clean and neatly organized structure, the interface lets you get started by picking a source and destination path. It's capable of running full or differential backups, as well as of making comparisons to spot identical, new, deleted, updated and renamed files, depending on your preferences.

You can modify the tolerance level and analyze the two locations to check out the full path, size and date of the source and destination items, along with differences in size and age. File filters can be applied too. What's more, FolderSynch can be asked to copy NTFS permissions and ownership.

It's possible to copy file names or path names to the Clipboard, as well as to create multiple tasks by entering a name, source and destination folders, and filters. You can create as many tasks as you want, edit their properties, re-arrange them in the task manager, or remove any entry from the list.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the program didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It carried out sync jobs swiftly while remaining light on system resources, using low CPU and RAM.

To wrap it up, FolderSynch provides you with a reliable method for synchronizing files and folders between two locations, backed by a wide range of advanced settings for experienced users. Plus, it's free.
