GoodSync for Mac

When you visit developer's website the word "FREE" is what you see. "free to use". Then when you scroll down...."free to use for 30 days". And finally when you click "buy" (no, I didn't intend to buy it, just to see the facts..), then you the "real-deal": SUBSCRIPTION, $30/yr. I'd purchase it for $30, but as a SUBSCRIPTION - NO!

I like this version for mac and I prefer Gs Richcopy 360 and SyncThing for windows

I've been using this since 2012 and have never had an error or issue. I was surprised to see the bad reviews here (most of which, I see, are older). The only minor annoyance is that, if you're using a laptop and disconnect/re-connect to a network, and one of your sync folders is on the network, GoodSync will not connect for you. You have to connect through the Finder, and then do GoodSync. A minor thing.

This software is garbage. I have used GoodSync on and off for several years. Typically, it goes like this: * I find that I have a sync task. * I install the latest version of GoodSync, hoping that it has improved since my last attempt. * I encounter a bunch of intermittent errors. * I submit tickets through GoodSync's help system, and I receive prompt-but-generic-and-totally-unhelpful feedback. * I delete GoodSync and resort to another solution. Why do I keep going back to it? Because I paid for it, and I cling to the hope that they will eventually fix their software to the point where it's *minimally* effective. No dice. It remains as much garbage as it was when I purchased it. Just some of the errors I've encountered: * Locks up while attempting to sync to a folder. Just becomes totally unresponsive. The process needs to be killed, and often the machine rebooted, to recover from the lockup. * "Undefined Error: 0." Constantly. This is GoodSync's version of "An error occurred." Could be a million reasons. Don't bother emailing GoodSync customer support - they don't know and won't help you. * Sync jobs just fail, spontaneously, mid-sync. The sync is running perfectly, the volumes are both still available... aaaaaaaand it abruptly stops. * The network browser is overdesigned and overcomplicated. All you want do is to specify a URL, a username, and a password. Sometimes it accepts the settings. Sometimes it doesn't, it just uses the old settings, and then barfs out random error messages. I give up. They are never going to upgrade this software to minimal usability or competence. I have scoured all of my computer systems of this bloated trashware and deleted my registration information. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't waste your time, and don't give this developer money. You will regret every dime and every moment you spend on this garbage software.

I wanted to love this app as I needed something that will sync my files and folder across macs in a reliable manner. It looked very good feature wise and it worked pretty well. But it has become very unreliable. Sync settings are consistently lost and I constantly find that a job has not been executed because of that. I am going to uninstall it.
