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. Do you have terabytes (TB) of data to sync? No problem! Compare & 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! Please, contact us with any questions, we are very happy to provide quick answers and make the app better for you. Install another our great product, VPN Server Configurator, and you can synchronize folders on a remote Mac from anywhere in the world! Install the Sync Folders Pro app, and you can synchronize folders "on the fly" using our REAL TIME SYNC technology or by schedule! Learn more at www.greenworldsoft.com. FOR BEGINNERS - Select two folders to synchronize. - Click "Sync" button. FOR PROFESSIONALS - 9 modes of synchronization. Real bidirectional synchronization. Tracking deletions, additions, changes in synchronized folders. - 6 file comparison modes allow to synchronize files on the storage devices with different file systems (OS X, FAT32, etc.) - 9 modes of file operations. Convenient Preview mode. Change the operation with files before sync, if required. - 5 search modes for items of the Preview table (by name, path, name & path, …). - 11 filter modes for items of the Preview table (Missing&Diffs, Missing, Diffs, Equal, …). - Synchronization over the network. The ability to automatically connect network folders before synchronization. - 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. - Compare files using QuickLook or "Line by Line" comparison before sync. - Shows selected files in the Finder.app - Opens selected files in the default app. - Execution of file operations for the selected items of the Preview table. - Copy the selected items (Missing, Diffs, …) of the Preview table into the third folder. - Resolving the file versions conflict. - Each pairs of folders shows when synchronization was done the last time. - The synchronization process is logged. - Save / Load the program settings to a file. - You can transform the app to the convenient file manager using powerful filters for files and folders and writing your own copy script. - Synchronization of subfolder attributes. - 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.

  • Works Well For Me

    I have used this app for several years and it has worked well for me. I really appreciate developers such as this one offering a free version to see if the program suits the customers needs prior to purchase. I'm not all that tech savvy, but the HELP/SUPPORT page is straight forward and provides sufficient information to learn the application. My thanks to devleoper for a good utility. Thanks
  • Yup i understand the UI complaints

    By Nick-the-Brit
    I downloaded this software after looking at the reviews. I didnt expect the UI complaints to actually be as bad as they were but, yup i undetand them after trying the app. If tooltips were added it probably wouldnt be as bad, but the main issue is the use of assumptive short wording... What is A?, What is B? What is C?, if i click this will it compare or sync? I cant risk it just syncing and destroying my data i just want to know if its different.... I am sure the tool can do it, but the UI makes it too risky to test - so yes - i too opted out of actually using the software because of the UI. I am certian the tool can do what i want, but I am unwilling to risk my data on an unclear interface.

    I'm not sure what's going on. The app had been functioning until recently. Has it not been optimized for the new M1 chip?

    I just need to compare some folders with thousands of files, but there are no clear instructions on how to do this without destroying data. Beware!

No duplication and overwriting possibilites dumping my usb files and overwriting a newer version of files.. No more carrying a USB Drive! Great and simple to use and inexpensive for sure!! and my second app from this author!
  • Indespensible

    The negative reviews this app has received are baffling, frankly. This app is well-written and comprehensive in the suite of solutions it provides. Anyone who is in need of compare, sync and back-up funtionality will find this app indespensible. One critical factor is its speed. It is by far the fastest folder comparison tool I have tested before settling on this one. Even with network attached drives, the peformance is exemplorary. The feature set is rich and does take effort to decide what to use and how to use, but that is true of any compreshensive application and is expected. This application is feature rich, comprehensive, fast and above all - accurate! After searching for an application with this feature set, I found it.

    This might be one of the worst GUI I've seen. Totally incomprehensible! There is a help file, but doesn’t explain the most rudimentary functions and how to use them.
  • Syn Folder

    Many of the reviews are very onformative and I would like to add mine. Syn Folders is one of the easiest method to synchronize folders on a Mac. Just drag and drop as all Mach apps should be. Easily customizable to exclude sub folders where data does not change. Much quicker and less of a hassle that setting up time machine. I have multiple drives for different types of data and i’s very easy to select which folders, especially medical data etc that I like backups on in case of a lot or failed drive. I recently lost also 4 TB of data, most valuable to me was 18 years of digital photos from the many cameras that I have had over this period. i wish I would have found Syn Folders earlier. joe swistok

    I have tried several compare folder type apps. Compare and Synch Folders has worked best for me. I think some more guidance might help new users.
