Thumbs up: Great application for all your file-folder comparison and synchronisation needs. Allows you to add multiple, specific source and target folders and use filters to exclude and include specific files and/or sub-paths. The generation of a batch script allows you to automate the synchronisation, which you set up in the GUI. It can then run regularly and in the background. The synchronisation dialogue is beautiful, showing you the speed at which it happens. Display filters allow you to grasp the changes, and preview stats allow you to see the quantity of changes before-hand (so you don’t make a mistake, moving the wrong way around for example).

Thumbs up: Wow! FreeFileSync is the best backup tool I've ever used! I've bounced back and forth between many tools over the years, and this one is so much simpler (without sacrificing functionality) in so many ways. The backup process is quick and reliable.

I've used MSOFT's SyncToy for years and thought it was the best of what was available ... that is, until I started using FreeFileSync. There's no comparison in terms of all the things that are important: ease of use, performance, flexibility.

This is the best file synchronization program that I've found. It is fast, stable, and has the right features without being bloated. The author has done a lot of careful thinking about how the program should work from the user's perspective, and (more importantly) how it works under the covers.

With around 2 million files to compare/mirror, a lot of other tools run into problems with memory, long paths or performance (especially 32bit tools, when the memory needed to represent the internal file lists exceeds the 2GB process memory limit).

FreeFileSync not only uses a lot less memory for large numbers of files but also provides a native 64bit build, eliminating any possible memory problems with large numbers of files (unless you run out of physical memory).

It also supports long paths, does the file listing in multiple threads (one thread per drive afaik) and has just the right amount of configuration options needed to achieve everything without bloating the UI with too many options.

Just started using it today, but I'm really impressed already.

OMG!! This is the GREATEST file synchronization tool I've used. I'm an Ubuntu user/admin for 3 years now and after testing FreeFileSync, I'll stick to it. I think FreeFileSync deserves to be in Canonical's repositories.
