SyncIt

Modifying files on a regular basis might mean you need to move or upload them to a particular location. This process can be simply achieved through directory synchronization, which can mean copying different or newer files in between. In this regard, SyncIt comes with a set of powerful and intuitive tools.

Once configured, you get the chance to launch it without needing to restart your system. Note, however, that you need to make sure that .NET Framework is on your computer even to be able to go through the setup process.

As far as the visual design goes, you quickly get acquainted with the set of features. The interface is pretty straightforward, showing the two folder slots you need to fill in, as well as several other functions to access the configuration panel, and to minimize the application to the tray area to let it silently perform its job.

At its core, the application wants to help you obtain two folders fitted with the same content, and this can be extremely helpful if you want to transfer updated files to a USB flash drive, but this can also be done with two local folders. However, the sync process is devoid of any configuration options, in the sense that it only performs two-way synchronization.

This means that the exact content is found in the two folder by the end of a process. As such, files aren’t modified, but only copied so everything matches. The sync process can be manually triggered, but there’s also the possibility to have it performed automatically at regular intervals. To help out, there’s a function to make the program run with Windows.

Bottom line is that SyncIt provides basic folder synchronization tools. Unfortunately, you can feel a little limited by the single type of sync option offered. On the other hand, folder configuration can be saved, and you can even automate the process to be silently performed at regular intervals.
