Description

Sync Folders is a free version of the popular Sync Folders Pro utility.
The app is an easy-to-use for beginners, has the ability to fine-tune synchronization settings for the most exacting professionals.

Sync Folders is perfect for folder synchronization on the external storage devices including:
USB, memory cards, disks on remote computers within your network, folders on Cloud services (Dropbox, etc.) With each resynchronization, the app finds and copies only new files and new file versions, thereby reducing synchronization time and extending the life of your storage devices.

Update to Pro+ (website version) and create a bootable clone of your hard drive and you can use it if your main drive is crashed.

The app can synchronize two folders "on the fly" using our "REAL TIME SYNC" technology, automatically or manually. The Sync Folders also provides robust tools to filter files and folders so that you sync exactly what you want.

Do you have terabytes (TB) of data to sync? No problem! Sync Folders has been optimized to work with extremely large number of files. Sit back and relax, your data is being automatically synced!

The app supports bidirectional synchronization!

Read the App Store reviews from 22 countries on our website! Customers are excited about the application, and we pride the customer support service. Please, contact us with any questions, we are very happy to provide quick answers and make the app better for you.

Employees will always have the latest version of the documents for work.
This mode allows you to instantly sync documents in folders with a large number of files.
It works for 10.8 and later.


FOR PROFESSIONALS
- 2 modes of synchronization.
- 4 file comparison modes allow to synchronize files on the storage devices with different file systems (OS X, FAT32, etc.)
- Ability to select what package types synchronize as files, and which as folders.
- You can transform the app to the convenient file manager using powerful filters for files and folders and writing your own copy script.
- Synchronization over the network. The ability to automatically connect network folders before synchronization.
- The ability to disconnect network folders after synchronization automatically.
- Protection for unauthorized disconnect storage devices (folders) during synchronization.
- Saving the last/all versions of files to be deleted. Using this mode, you can always restore deleted files, even if folders have synchronized several times.
- Quick view the latest changes in synchronized folders.
- Ability to log events. You can filter events by type, task, status. Ability to export the event log to an external file.
- Ability to send event log by e-mail in case of synchronization errors.
- Writing your own copy scripts, for example:
- Copy all non-synced files to selected folder before copying.
- Copying files using Unix commands: cp, rsync ...

The main difference from the similar apps on the App Store:
- Real bidirectional synchronization. Tracking deletions, additions, changes in synchronized folders.
- Faster synchronization of the large folders.
- "REAL TIME SYNC" mode.

Good product

I've enjoyed using the ap to reduce considerable clutter on my iMac. Being able to preview files before deletion is great! Also really like the verify removal list, breat to ensure you didn't select a wronf file location.

Excellent

I am a long time Windows user - a retired software developer. I decided to migrate my audio recording studio to Mac, and as my work expanded I’ve needed to add functionality for synchronizing files. I’m syncing between external SSD drives (maintaining two identical drives for failover), as well as backing up to my Windows 2008 server. The SSD drives are exFAT because they are holding massive audio samples which are shared with a Windows desktop machine.

Consequently, I required a backup utility that can work across file system types, as well as the challenges of a blended network with Windows, Windows server and Linux machines. On my Windows machines, I have been using real-time synchronization to keep production files protected, and fresh, I was looking for this capability in a Mac product as well.

My tests with SyncFolders have been fruitful, and I look forward to employing it as a trustworthy partner in my backup strategy. Using the automation feature I can do routine backups without having to remember or manually initiate the process.

Thanks for your good work folks.

Free version is of no use

The free version only allows bi-directional sync, i.e.deletes files from both location, or copies from both locations, so you can never get rid of a file, and if you indavertently delete a file and sync, it disappers, can’t do one way sync…...

Developer Response ,

To use one way sync you should create a Preview table on the "Preview" tab and change file operations that you need.
Also you can update to the Sync Folders Pro and use one way sync and more. After updating to the Sync Folders Pro you can download the Pro+ version from website for free and create a bootable backup your hard drive on an external drive (SSD, HDD). You can use a bootable backup if your main drive is crashed.
