It has an easy and intuitive UI and all the features you would want from a sync tool! Funny how free stuff beats the commercial versions again and again It is the ideal application to synchronize my files between two computers and one file server. I was testing before a few other solutions, but FreeFileSync is the best of the best!! Thank you for this project!
Easy to use and fairly intuitive. Short learning curve. For the reviewer looking for "Help" resources, it is right there on the top left of the screen next to the Tools tab. Program is fairly documented in the "Content" selection. Great FREE sync software that actually replaced my 'paid' for app. Keep up the great work, thank you!
SO awesome. There's so much I could say about this indispensable program, but I'll just tell you now that the amount of options and different types of sync methods will ensure you are able to do what you need, as well as the ability to save your sync configurations for certain sync jobs, so that you can easily do them in the future. Great UI, please don't change it, because too many people are ruining their software these days with some new crap that renders their software useless, literally making it impossible to do anything.
Was using Unison, but there weren't many updates and it doesn't support x FreeFileSync is very simple to use! Also it is much faster than Unison! I recommend it! Very intuitive, and because of its flexibility it's possible to have portable backups since it can backup to a relative file path.
Then you won't need to change destination path when you move the backup folder. Fast, easy and reliable. A great tool to keep two or more folders synchronized even when changes have been done on both sides since the last synchronization.
Excluding certain files or folders from synchronizing is quick and painless. The application will warn you when too much has changed in the folder contents since the last sync. It supports batch jobs. I personally use this software to backup my personal files onto an external hard drive. It works great through my home network too. Thank goodness for FreeFileSync! After the death of my home's NAS I was in big trouble A couple of external cheap hard disks are enough!!
Thanks for all. This is a brilliant piece of software. It is simple to set up and easy to use. I have been using it for a few months now and it has never crashed. I use it to sync to my Dropbox via BoxCryptor encryption.
I don't completely trust auto syncing software, so this is a great alternative. It allows you to keep your original files on your computer, and also save separate back up files on your external drive or Dropbox etc. Well done guys! This tool is a really nice application. I've tried countless sync tools, both free and paid. This is the one I've chosen to use.
It works great in both Windows and Linux. Many many thanks to the developer s. I know how much time and energy it takes to code and maintain something like this.
I appreciate it. Excellent Program. Anyone who wants to sync or backup should download and use this program. Many thanks to the developers — deibiddo. This program is excellent. I have been using it between 2 computers for 3 weeks and no issues.
I was using SyncToy for a few years with few problems, but recently SyncToy began to delete the newer files, some of which I spent hours writing. Thankfully I found FreeFileSync and it is working perfectly. It is very easy and works over network, local drives and external ones.
A must-have if you use more than a computer and huge files make cloud drives an unfeasible option. I have a lot of data to synchronise, about GB and , files. It scans my , files in only 2. I have tried two other free synchronisation software suites: Synkron also SourceForge software and RichCopy from Microsoft. FreeFileSync is better than both of them for a number of reasons: 1.
Intuitive user interface: I setup a multiple folder synchronisation within minutes! The buttons are clear, and if you aren't exactly sure of their function, hovering the mouse over the buttons will reveal clarifying information.
Informative: I knew exactly what files were being deleted or updated. Synkron would give no information about the analysis while it was occurring, so you don't know what progress it is making. FreeFileSync lets you know how the comparison is going, and gives a very handy graph to show progress, including file transfer rates, etc Stable: I have not yet had FreeFileSync crash on me.
RichCopy and Synkron have both crashed, and Synkron tends to freeze the system. Efficient: Synkron writes the synchronisation files to a backup file for some reason which I could not disable in the settings. This both slows the system down, but also uses up a significant amount of hard drive memory over time, since these files are not deleted. Quite simply the best free synchronisation software I have ever used! Very cool. Now it helps me to keep folders in sync and backup files from internal and external hard discs, mp3 player and my phone Don't waste your time trying other "commercial" ones.
This is one of those tools you cannot live without. Every month I also mirror my work files into a removable USB-2 drive. Once I waited for 3 months to update into my second removable drive and I had to wait for only 25 minutes, even though I had changed a lot of songs and videos. Moreover, my USB stick backups take no more than 3 minutes for a full day of work. The creator of FreeFileSync was kind enough to respond to some suggestions I made, but it's hard to think on improving this program because it is already great!
Really love this program and have been using it under Windows a lot. Now have an iMac and was really missing this program, so I am very happy to see that there is now also a MAC version. Thank you very much. Faster than commercial alternatives. Perfect to make backup and update SVN repositories. This is a really well done piece of software. The GUI is intuitive. It is fast. The file transfers are fast. I am really impressed with this tool.
I love the simplicity of this. Other programs compress and bundle which is unnecessary and obfuscating. This program is actually easier and simpler than copying folders by hand, because once you've set up your paths and saved them in profiles, you just choose the profile.
If you put a little effort in at the beginning working out what needs to be backed up, then the existence of the profile in the list reminds you that you need to do a backup of it. I am a 20yr IT vet really! I do minor programming and I have had the need for a feature rich program that will get the files from A to B without issue and save security information. FFS is simply the best in the market hands down. The fact that it is free totally blows me away! Since my initial review we have come to use this product in our daily processing.
The fact that the developer truly listens and incorporates good effective additions as well as continuing to improve the product puts him ahead of even larger software houses. Please keep up the good work and look for our donation! James Lee Outsource Technologies Inc. I have used a lot of sync tools. I am sure FreeFileSync is one of the best tools available in the market out there.
Above all it is free!! Thanks a lot to the dev team for contributing such a wonderful product. After successful tests, i permanently installed the program with 6 TB of data exchanged between 2 x 3 hard disks 12 TB total and it since works reliable and fast.
The best file backup and sync software I have used for far. It's quick and easy to use. Please keep this software portable as that is one of its greatest assets.
I use it to synchronize between multiple computers, drives, and operating systems seamlessly. Having a dual OS has never been easier. I've been looking for a tool like this for about 3 years, when my most favorite directory sync tool stopped development, short of Windows XP.
GREAT work on this. Clean, efficient, simple dir comparison or sync. Run it and it shows you what's out of sync, without all of the complicated configurations, etc.
Simply the best file sync software and also free backup software: No feature bloat, no bugs, does what it's supposed to blazingly FAST! Very versatile and always expanding.
The developer is very helpful and responsive. Couldn't live without FreeFileSync! I've tried almost every files and folders synchronisation program available on windows. And FreeFileSync is definitely the best. It's the fastest, the most customisable and the most intuitive one, and above all, it's open source. Pleasantly surprised after trying 4 others, as it supports my Unicode filenames, feels lightweight, and makes the options fairly clear.
Does what it's supposed to do well. I switched from SyncBack free version to FreeFileSync because it handles a few important things better, e.
Saved my life. I learned it in 30 sec. Simple and reliable. Awesome scalable tool!!!!! This is the only tool I know which can compare and sync 2 directories with more than 11,, files, and not die while syncing.
It took my server a couple of days to sync those monster directories, but hey I'm happy! I have tried at least 10 different sync tools in the past 10 years. This is wonderful. It is a 'good looking' friend of rsync! FreeFileSync is the best backup tool I've ever used! I've bounced back and forth between many tools over the years, and this one is so much simpler without sacrificing functionality in so many ways.
The backup process is quick and reliable. The generation of a batch script allows you to automate the synchronisation, which you set up in the GUI. It can then run regularly and in the background. The synchronisation dialogue is beautiful, showing you the speed at which it happens. Display filters allow you to grasp the changes, and preview stats allow you to see the quantity of changes before-hand so you don't make a mistake, moving the wrong way around for example.
Probably the best open source software that I have ever encountered. This app is great! Easy, intuitive backup and synchronisation between different folders or devices. Thanks for the development and maintenance of this app!
Keep up the good job! What a simple yet incredibly helpful and powerful program! The user interface is flexible enough to house lots of things or to be very simple and sleek - and it performs binary comparisons! Cheers for a job well done! Excellent, efficient tool for manual backup and folder mirroring. No persistent services. Does what it promises and is updated frequently. Takes advantage of multicore now. A big thanks to the developers.
I've used Microsoft's SyncToy for years and thought it was the best of what was available There's no comparison in terms of all the things that are important: ease of use, performance, flexibility. I've been using this tool for a while now and it's simply awesome. Former SyncToy user. Best way to keep a Dropbox style of sync with my external drives. I also dig the new look. Very stylish. This is the best file synchronization program that I've found.
It is fast, stable, and has the right features without being bloated. The author has done a lot of careful thinking about how the program should work from the user's perspective, and more importantly how it works under the covers.
From my experience until now, it is a great and simple backup software. Great performance, analysis, scan, progress bar and graph, great comparison, flexible so you can configure multiple folders and multiple actions. Nice UI. Does the job as it should.
Incredibly useful, manages long path names better than anything else we tried including Robocopy. Best file sync software I have ever used. I used to run SyncToy bit version, but after running into problems and being unable to fix them as my file count went up I decided to try FreeFileSync.
To this date, I have not experienced a single problem, not even a hickup. One directory contains over 10 million files, and it runs through with ease. Much more versatile than SyncToy. I love the fine-grained control and also the option to preserve deletions. I use it on a couple of identical external HDDs for off-site backups. Different drive letters? No problem, just copy the XML config file and change the drive letter. FreeFileSync not only uses a lot less memory for large numbers of files but also provides a native 64bit build, eliminating any possible memory problems with large numbers of files unless you run out of physical memory.
It also supports long paths, does the file listing in multiple threads one thread per drive AFAIK and has just the right amount of configuration options needed to achieve everything without bloating the UI with too many options. Just started using it today, but I'm really impressed already. I think FreeFileSync deserves to be in Canonical's repositories. I got a similar app from PC Magazine a few years ago. I never really figured out how to use it. I tried to start it up and it would not load for reasons unknown.
I googled just in case I might stumble across It did precisely what I wanted to do. I figured out how to operate it pretty darned quick, which is a testament as I'm gettin' old and am not as fast on the uptake as I once was.
