SyncBetter

Working in an office environment and handling multiple documents that constantly need updating might create the routine of checking content and moving them from one place to another. Luckily, this process can be automated with the help of synchronization tools, such as SyncBetter, which promises to get the job done exactly as the name suggests.

In terms of visuals, the application sports an intuitive, yet simple design that shouldn't pose any accommodation problems whatsoever. The main window is only home to major functions you can configure, with the possibility to keep it hidden in the system tray once everything is set up.

The amount of features the application comes equipped with is rather modest, with straightforward functions and little variety when it comes to customizing the synchronization process.

Creating a task is done by adding an input folder of your choice or a single file that the application constantly monitors, as well as the place where it ends up later on. The only saying you get when it comes to triggering the process is to specify the time, with fields for days, hours, minutes and seconds.

Unfortunately, scheduling applies as a general rule for all tasks you create, and there isn't even an implemented option to have targets forcefully synchronized. This significantly reduces overall practicability, making it rather difficult to configure for complex projects.

What's more, the application can only be used to transfer files from one directory to another, with no option to configure this over a network, nor any other methods like keeping both folders updated or only triggering the process when changes are detected.

If you rely on this application for synchronization tasks over long periods of time, you need to manually run it each time your operating system starts, because there is no option to make the application start automatically.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that SyncBetter does not bring anything new to the market, and only manages to leave a moderate overall impression. Although easy to use, with little system resources used and no functionality issues, the feature pack is poor and only provides aid in small environments where synchronization is not amongst the top priorities.
