StaticSync

If you are working with multiple storage environments, be they local or remote, a synchronization tool would come in handy, as you can avoid duplicate creation or accidental deletion of your data. StaticSync is a compact and easy-to-use application that provides a decent method of managing your stored information.

StaticSync keeps it simple, so even if you don’t have enough experience with this type of app, learning how it works is a matter of minutes. Regarding the UI, there is only a compact panel that lists all the projects, and as a new user, you’ll have to create new instances before synchronization.

Creating new projects starts with a click on the button with the same name. From there, several tabs are going to pop up, asking you to set up the project as needed. The first step is to pick the type of location you intend to work with. You can choose between local and remote, or both at the same time.

The next step is the filter setup, a single field that lets you add the formats you need to exclude or include in the sync process. After these steps are completed, the project pops up in the main tab.

After you’ve already set up at least one project, you can proceed to manage the files. Upon accessing the project, the files from both are listed together — the difference-maker is the path information atop the list.

When the sync is performed, the application will look for duplicates and inconsistencies, and if any of that is detected, the conflict counter will change. You should look for a 0 conflict synchronization, but if anything comes up, you can delete, ignore, upload or download any file that is not in the line.

In conclusion, StaticSync is a neat solution for users who have multiple storage mediums and are looking to bring all the information together, without having to manually move them themselves. Operating the tool requires no technical or advanced skill, so anyone can take advantage of it.
