File Syncronization Software

[mjkovis]

Anyone have any recommendations on a program to sync files between locations with? Been a while since I have had the need for such software.

The goal is to successfully sync my work files that have been updated to an external HD or flash drive then to my laptop and home PC. Right now manually trying to update them is taking forever at the end of the day.

Suggestions would be much appreciated!

This one is pretty popular:

SyncBack is a flexible, and quite powerful backup and synchronization program that allows to to maintain backup copies of your files and folder, or to synchronize them, so that both locations always have a complete copy (e.g Laptop/PC). It offers different types of actions that let you choose how older and newer files are processed, which files should be excluded (by mask) and more. It offers standard file comparison based on the date and size, as well as optional MD5 checksum, which will detect even the slightest modifications to files. SyncBack also supports scheduled projects, FTPand zip compression of backups, as well as network login, simulation runs and more.

Here's another:

Thanks EzyStvy!

I think I will be testing out SyncBack sometime this weekend to see if it will work. From what I have read on their website their freeware has everything I really need.

I second the recommendation for Syncback. I've used it for a while now, and it works great.

I tried Synctoy from MS, but it didn't always sync the files correctly.
