Plus the program computes the amount of free space available on the destination device to ensure there is enough room for the files that you are trying to transfer. GoodSync can also be set to run whenever a device comes online. The job “analyze” mode also allows you to view how files will sync before making any changes.īack-ups and syncs can be scheduled at specific intervals, to help minimise workflow disruptions, or you can have it do a complete back-up every day. For example, GoodSync also includes safety measures that ensure files aren’t accidentally overwritten or duplicated and if a file has been changed on two different computers, GoodSync will not change or sync the file in question - instead it will log the discrepancy in events and you will have to manually combine the files. SynchronizationĪlong with the usual features such as file filtering, one-way and two-way syncing, back-ups and job scheduling, you’ll also find a few more features that will impress.

Folders can be set to either create back-ups (one-way) or synchronization which means that changes made in either folder will be synced to both. Once installed, you will be asked to create a new job by selecting the two folders you would like to synch you can then analyze the folders to avoid incompatibilities. Setting up GoodSync is quick, simple and to the point - creating synchronization jobs are much the same. For example, if you have modified the same file on two different machines and the drafts were vastly different, GoodSync would inform you of an incompatibility issue and not overwrite either file - very handy indeed. The Siber Systems’ algorithm is capable of analyzing two files to determine if they are compatible before syncing begins. However, its greatest strength may lie in its analyzer. GoodSync can transfer/synchronize almost any file locally (by directly syncing between desktops, laptops, servers, and external drives) or it can create back-ups to remote servers and devices using FTP, SFTP or WebDAV - to name a few. Siber Systems has managed to create a practical, smart synchronization tool that looks as good as it functions. For those who would like a secure program that not only synchronizes your data on multiple machines but can also create secure back-ups, GoodSync is definitely worth trying.
