  • All you need
  • Very good sync tool between different folders and operating systems.
  • Simply, THE BEST ONE ! - You only need this incredible program in order to analyse two folders, see the differences, and update one by the other. It compares and display even binary differences if you want. Sometimes you think your files are equal by the size, name, etc, but it is always good to compare your backups binary, in order to see if everything is ok. With FreeFileSync you can. Excellent.

  • Very good !
  • Easy to use. I use this program every few months to back up my personal files, Docs, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, Desktop, etc to my 2 terabit backup. After the initial mirror All (copy) now it just takes a few minutes to compare the laptop folders to the backup, new music, photos, videos and a few files here and there. I'll use it forever on all my Linux laptops into the future. Better than Foldermatch on that OS which will not to be named from my lips ever again. I love this program.
