Sync Folders Pro overview

Sync Folders Pro is an easy-to-use app for beginners, has the ability to fine-tune synchronization settings for the most exacting professionals. Sync Folders Pro is perfect for backups to external storage devices including: USB, memory cards, disks on remote computers within your network, folders on Cloud services (Dropbox, etc.) With each re-backup, the app finds and copies only new files and new file versions, thereby reducing backup time and extending the life of your storage devices.

Update to Pro+ for free and create a bootable clone of your hard drive and you can use it if your main drive is crashed.

The app can synchronize multiple pairs of folders at the same time "on the fly" using our "REAL TIME SYNC" technology, on a schedule or manually. The Sync Folders Pro also provides robust tools to filter files and folders so that you sync exactly what you want.

Features:
  • Sync any number of folders at the same time.
  • 9 modes of synchronization.
  • 4 file comparison modes allow to synchronize files on the storage devices with different file systems (OS X, FAT32, etc.)
  • Ability to select what package types synchronize as files, and which as folders.
  • You can transform the app to the convenient file manager using powerful filters for files and folders and writing your own copy script.
  • Synchronization over the network. The ability to automatically connect network folders before synchronization.
  • The ability to disconnect network folders after synchronization automatically.
  • Protection for unauthorized disconnect storage devices (folders) during synchronization.
  • Saving the last/all versions of files to be deleted. Using this mode, you can always restore deleted files, even if folders have synchronized several times.
  • Quick view the latest changes in synchronized folders.
  • Ability to log events. You can filter events by type, task, status. Ability to export the event log to an external file.
  • Ability to send event log by e-mail in case of synchronization errors.
  • Synchronization of subfolder attributes.
  • Writing your own copy scripts, for example:
  • Copy all non-synced files to selected folder before copying.
  • Copying files using Unix commands: cp, rsync ...
  • Localization of the application in multiple languages

##Don't waste your money This app has a horrible interface. Every time I try to set up a sync the app tells me that it excluded System Folders of macOS when I am just trying to sync two folders. I have been using Mac's since 1989 and It seems impossible for an application with such a convoluted interface would get this many good reviews. I have to call the reviews bullish*t.

I've used this app for the last three years, and have had no issues with it. It does its job in a simple, reliable way - not intrusive, no constant notifications or comment from the app. Started to use it for sytem backup as well, and while I have not had to renew the system from the backup, it has copied all important files well.

MacUpdate should delete all of the obviously fake 5-star reviews posted for this app. It reflects poorly on the website when this is continually allowed.

I have been using Sync Folders Pro for some time now and it is so useful for keeping all my important files synchronised both on my off-site storage and my local storage. It is so extremely easy to use, and you can keep older versions of your files it's so easy in the settings. Keeping your important files safe is key to ensuring that you don’t loose anything and because of the multiple features available you can use it simply or get more complicated. A great product and well worth the reasonable cost of the app.
