DiRSync

DiRSync is a lightweight tool that mirrors a folder to another directory. This means that instead of manually moving a folder to another location you also want to be sanitized, it might take you some time, especially if you have to repeat the process. The program could prove handy with data transfers over a network, or to various locations, locally or online.

DirSync is not a unique concept, nor is cutting-edge technology, yet it makes folder mirroring a walk in the park. The compact interface lets you determine the source, the folder that gets mirrored, and the destination. Having both destinations selected means you are set up. Click the Mirror button to begin the process. A small prompt will inform you about deleting everything from within the destination folder.

Because it cleans up a folder before mirroring the source, file loss or even system issues are the main risks. Paying close attention to the destination directory is very important, more than the source. Having a new, clean folder as the destination is highly advised unless you want to purposely erase the data from within the destination.

Installing the app is not a requirement. Extract it from the archive and launch it. Its portability perk also allows you to copy it to a thumb stick or any similar environment and run it on any machine. Your website needs a new file dump, and you only have your laptop around? Connect the drive and mirror your folders on the spot.

DiRSync is a neat application effective in mirroring folders to locations decided by the user or simply put, a way to move data from one place to another, while also cleaning up the destination. It's intuitive, portable, and issue-free.
