Description

Compare & Sync Folders is an easy-to-use app for beginners, has the ability to fine-tune synchronization settings for the most exacting professionals.

The app can synchronize multiple pairs of folders at the same time. Using convenient preview mode you can view the changes before sync and change the operation with files, if required. The Compare & Sync Folders also provides robust tools to filter files and folders so that you sync exactly what you want.

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

The app supports bidirectional synchronization!

Schafft nicht einmal selber die Dateien richtig zu kopiern

Ich habe das Programm genutzt, um meine Bilder mal auf eine neue HDD zu bringen. Das Programm durfte also synchronisierern und anschließend mit Cehcksumme prüfen. Die Prüfung allein dauert ewig, man hat keinen Fortschrittsbalken und kann nur warten. Nach Prüfung waren die Dateien aber nur zu knapp 90% gleich. Was genau am Rest auszusetzen war, ist schlecht rauszufinden mit diesem Programm, da das schlecht dokumentiert ist.

Die Bedienung ist auch nicht intuitiv und bei einigen Dingen wünschte man sich, dass man beim hovern mit der Maus über einem Button mal eine Beschreibung bekommen würde, die auch auf der Website nicht vorhanden ist. Ohne Fortschrittsbalken kann man also auf einen Knopf drücken, wo man denkt, er wäre richtig, um dann ewig zu warten, dass ein Preview erstellt wird.

Sorry, aber eine gute Bedienung geht anders und wenn man mit dem Programm synct und anschließend checked, sollten die Dateien gleich sein. Zudem könnte noch einiges an der Benutzerfreundlichkeit getan werden, bzw. eine bessere Anleitung zur Verfügung gestellt werden, als die auf der Homepage.

Unterirdisch

Ich hätte den kritischen Bewertungen Glauben schenken sollen. Nach einem InApp Kauf änderte sich nichts, ich konnte immer bei wiederherstellung der Käufe sehen was ich eigentlich gekauft habe, funktioniert hat aber nichts.
Auch Dir Performance ist unterirdisch. Für die Synchronisierung von 2700 Dateien veranschlagt das Programm allen Ernstes bis zu drei Tage.
Jächerlich, Finger Weg!!!!
