Title: Folder synchronisation software
Post by: Lance on Aug 22, 2007, 08:28:03
Hi boys and girls!

I need to keep to folders on two different machines identical, so I'm looking to use some synchronisation software to do the job for me!  >:D

My question is do any of you use such software, and if so can you make a recommendation of what software to use? A quick google turned up several free programs, but I can't be bothered to go through each one seeing if it's any good!  :P

Thanks!

Lance, I've been using Good Sync for about 2 years seems to work well for me, it is available as a free lite version or a paid for Pro version from here: -

Hi Lance

I use SyncBack freeware (there's also a paid version available), which you can pick up here (http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html). Fast, easy to use...

Of course, the other choice would be SyncToy from M$ if there's a version for Vista.

SyncToy 1.4 is compatible with Microsoft Vista.
