DirSync

DirSync is an old school application that provides you with a slightly different method of managing your files and folders.

This is a lightweight application, and it does not even require installation. Simply download the package, unzip it, and run the application via its designated executable file.

Once launched, you are bound to discover the fact that the app smoothly integrates with your computer's taskbar and, better yet, the presence of a very compact panel which allows you to access all of the app's features.

Speaking of features, you might be interested in hearing that the app bundles various modules, so to speak, as follows: GroupSync, Control Center, Twin Explorer, Log and Customize.

We'll start off with GroupSync, which is probably the most useful of the lot. In just a few words, this standalone feature (all features are available from separate windows) is especially useful when it comes to transferring files or folders with nothing more than a few mouse clicks. It's also worth pointing out that this module also provides you with a few tools for directory comparison and it can also help you quickly keep the contents of two folders synced.

The ControlCenter helps you make sure that you always know how much free disk space there's available, while the TwinExplorer aims to be an improvement of Windows Explorers of old. Last but not least, the Log module is the place where you can analyze all your past file management tasks.

From the Customize section, you can configure a wide array of aspects, everything from border and color parameters, all the way up to various options for the TwinExplorer and the Log modules.

To end with, DirSync is a lightweight application that aims to improve the way you manage files. If it still manages to do so heavily depends on your proffered workflow, whether you're happy with what Windows offers you or not. One thing's clear, though, this app is actually aimed at more advanced users that require a quick way of organizing files and gaining access to various useful statistics.
