It's quick and easy. It's free and accessible across multiple devices which makes it attractive for small businesses like mine. > > **Cons**: Unsupported file characters/names can be a problem sometimes but you can easily resolve them by adding exceptions. I also check storage space nowadays but this is because I need to get more storage. > > Above all else, I love the reliability of the software. You can start synching and go and do other things, knowing not a single digit will be missing or misplaced... ever. ----- ### "Secured solution but be careful if you have errors on external disk" — 4.0/5 > **Bruno** | *13 March 2025* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free and easy to use, with XML File witch can be modified with an editor > > **Cons**: I discover big directory files with extension "\*.ffs\_tmp" after an error witch occured synchronous errors. The enormous gost directory files witch has been created on external HDD, when a synchronous occure errors. > > I use it from many year and I have no problem. I use it for saving all my personnals datas and professionals datas. I have never lost any files, and I think it's a secured solution for synchroning and saving files. But you have to be careful if an error occure on external disk. ----- ### "Best File Synchronization Program Bar None" — 5.0/5 > **Karel** | *31 October 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Open Source so it's open for independent audits - Regularly updated and incredibly well-developed - You have many options in terms of which comparison method you want to use to compare the files and which type of synchronization you prefer (mirroring, duplicate, update-only) - You can see when it was the last time you ran a particular sync job and you can customize the location of where the synchronization log files are kept at (can be useful for record keeping and audits) - You can choose to sync folders in real time and choose to have the real time sync program run at startup - It's never failed to deliver > > **Cons**: - Maybe if it had an option of encrypting on backup, I guess that would be cool - I did look to see if there was an option of verifying successful synchronization with checksums like SHA-256, but after reading their article on the CopyFile function, I saw that it was nearly pointless to do so. Instead, I put my trust in the program and I make sure that my computer hardware is running smoothly (i.e. no bad hard drive sectors) and that there is no malware present. > > For those who do not know what FreeFileSync can do for you, let me sum it up for you: it's a program that allows the user to manages folder synchronization jobs. RAID configurations and cloud storage solutions have their place, but they cannot solve many of the problems that this program can. - How do you make external hard drive backups efficiently? The external hard drive naturally exists outside of a RAID configuration and a cloud storage sync folder and it could be very difficult and time-consuming to do the backup manually. FreeFileSync can solve this problem - Suppose that you regularly receive a data dump via an FTP. How do you efficiently determine which files are new compared to the last data dump that you kept? You could manually compare file times between your files and the files of the new data dump, but you can lose a lot of time doing so. FreeFileSync can solve this problem - How do you synchronize folders of two or more cloud storage solutions in real time? I don't know of any cloud storage giving you that option and a RAID configuration is possible, I suppose, if you give each cloud storage a partition (i.e. Partition\_1 for OneDrive and Partition\_2 for Dropbox). The problem with the RAID configuration is that it would make your computer environment a little complicated and you won't have the option of synchronizing select folders. I use FreeFileSync to solve all the problems mentioned above. I've had a great experience with this program so far. ----- ### "FreeFileSync one of the best synching tools." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 February 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to use from the moment i began to use it.
