OverallĬertainly an app well done that offers most of common features and complements them with original ones and interesting interface on top. It only handles sync itself, for anything else you have to write own scripts or use additional tools to make it all tick. There is no quick way to clone or adjust multiply tasks, no way to run them in bulk and no scheduling in sight. There are all needed options in place:Īgain what I personally don’t like is that jobs are completely separate from interface. Moving on from interface, which should be only seen once for initial setup of serious sync routine.įreeFileSync allows to save jobs in custom XML-based format and automate them by running as command line argument. Still I am sure there are plenty of people who will like this interface completely. :) It eats screen space and I just hate to hover over everything to get an initial idea what it does. Interface logic is dominated by large icons, especially those that describe sync-related issues – they make whole small icon-language. In this case FreeFileSync manages to combine a lot of own ideas with nice overall experience.

Usually I refer to interfaces that stray away for conventional in negative way. few unique features, like customizable way to handle deleted files.flexible preview with quick override of any action.It compares directories, shows differences and actions to be performed to get them in sync, using algorithm of your choice (update, mirror, two-way, custom). What it doesĪpp’s main screen is usual for compare-type apps dual-pane view. So, FreeFileSync – portable, open source (and glowing) tool to sync files and directories. I hadn’t touched my setup with SyncExp in a long time so was little bored with it. Samer had covered FreeFileSync at Freeware Genius and his review was practically glowing.
