FreeFileSync is a convenient program for Windows designed to help you copy the contents of a folder to a different location without too much hassle. You can add the directories you would like to process by dragging and dropping, or you may manually browse to their location.
Multiple sync modes
Depending on your preferences, you are able to choose between various sync methods. The two-way synchronization is best used when you want the changes to be identified and distributed on both the source and the target locations.
The software solution also gives you the option to create a mirror backup of the left folder by adapting the one on the right to match it. If none of the sync methods suit your needs, you can set up custom rules tailored specifically to your liking.
Folder comparison
Similar to Box Drive, you have the ability to compare files by different criteria, including modification time and size, contents, or size. Additionally, you can filter the data from a selected folder, so as to exclude items from a particular synchronization job. Wild cards are supported, thus you may set up very specific rules.
Bottom line
In summary, the application offers a wide range of instruments to quickly and efficiently compare the items in a chosen directory, even if you have limited computer experience. It is also possible to use the same program to sync multiple folder pairs.
