FoldersSynchronizer overview
FoldersSynchronizer is a powerful and popular utility for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) which synchronizes and backs-up files, folders and disks. You can choose one or more pairs of files, folders or disks then FS will synchronize or backup those exactly. On each session you can apply special options like Timers, Multiple pairs of folders, Filters, Exclude Items, Auto-Mount local and remote volumes, launch your own AppleScripts, set how to resolve Conflicts, execute an incremental or an exact copy, include locked files and more. FS can run in background/hidden as a Login Item too.
Note:64-bit app successfully tested on macOS Sequoia and notarised by Apple, tuned-up for Retina displays with light and dark mode.
What’s new in version 6.2.0
- Addressed an issue with the .fsy large file size. Now the fsy file is much smaller than the previous versions file.
- Addressed an issue at sorting the sessions from the "Sessions" PopUp Menu.
- Addressed an issue at Auto-Mounting a Disk Image volume.
- Addressed an issue at the modification date of the files being copied to volumes with hfs format (which doesn't manage milliseconds of the date).
- Enhanced the AutoMount Volumes feature for mounting/unmounting Remote Volumes, Local Volumes and Disk Images.
- Each volume on the AutoMount Volumes list now displays its mounted state with a green icon.
- The remote volumes can be defined with their share point.
- Remote Volumes, Local Volumes and Disk Images can all manage the password.
- The encrypted volumes in list will be shown with the orange color if you didn't yet define their password on the Set Volume panel.
- This version requires some additional data to automatically mount the volumes, as the UUID for the local disks and the Bookmark data (alias) for the dmg disks. The volumes requiring this update are shown in red on the AutoMount Volumes list. To update the red volumes with the latest requirements, go to the AutoMount Volumes panel then manually mount all the volumes on the list, or, launch FS 6.2 with all of those volumes already mounted, then save your FS file.
- You can add a volume on the AutoMount Volumes list by dragging and dropping a volume icon from the Finder onto the list. Anyway, FS automatically does that when you define a source or destination folder on its Console panel (best method). You could use this drag & drop feature to update the volume list after some custom change.
- While displaying the AutoMount Volumes List, if you rename a volume in the Finder, it will be automatically renamed on the list.
- You can now quickly switch (⌘-Y) between hidden-background-mode and visible-foreground-mode even while a sync/backup is running.
- The Log text now reports the CPU information.
- On the FS Console, the source and the destination icons show the icon-preview as in the Finder, if any.
- On the FS Preferences panel you can now choose the sound to play at the end of each sync/backup (e.g. Glass).
- Cosmetic improvements on the FS Status Menu (hidden-background mode) for both light and dark modes.
- Other minor fixes and improvement.

Version: 5.2.0
Hi, I've been a FoldersSynchronizer customer for years, and it's one of my favorite Mac utility apps (along with Default Folder). I just wanted you to know that I'm using it now to transfer more than 13K of work files from my iCloud Drive to my DropBox account, as I find DropBox to be more efficient and accessible from all of my devices. I love how it just sits there and works behind the scenes. Thanks so much for the product!

Version: 5.1.8
This has been a must-install app for me for many years. I am surprised at how underrated it is. I often recommend this for simple easy backup and sync. It's far more stable than the Finder for folders of several thousand items. I have this set up to backup and sync folders from my work drive to my archive drive.

Version: 4.3.1
I've been waiting for a 64-bit Catalina-compatible version of this software, or maybe switching to Chronosync. I just visited the Softobe site and apparently they released a 64-bit Catalina-tested Version 5 back on November 25, but here, MacUpdate still lists version 4.3.1 as the current version.
Time to update the MacUpdate listing, otherwise I'd like suggestions on which website to use to track non-App-Store updates. Because recently, MacUpdate has also been late listing other new versions, even for applications from major companies like Adobe.
