Leave a Review Sync Folders Pro
Best of them all
Not perfect. For various reasons I have 50-plus Tera-Bytes of storage. A recent processor upgrade led to a general system review -- while this was happening a significant thunderstorm passed directly over head . . . which is why I have redundant HDDs. A massive re-storing of several drives, re-purchases of several enclosures, a review of my line power-conditioning, and then, a sorting of file redundancies and less than ideal data storing efficiencies . . . all meant that I was duplicating files with Finder a lot for two weeks after this started. While it is so, that Sync Folders Pro is time consuming, and is less than perfect at including everything in a folder. It is the best of the better. Two days ago while changing the disk format of several drives I opted for the free trial of Carbon Copy Cloner-- which is about 40% faster at large file duplication. It is also sometimes balky, declining to use a HDD I have just reformated because CCC has said that the old format is somehow full, when I can see nothing. And when I check the results with Sync Folders Pro -- EVERY TIME Sync Folders Pro spent several tens of minutes filling out the deficiencies.
Finder does not get everything. CCC does not get everything. Sync Folders Pro gets more than the others. But the Operator must do his own checks -- AND have redundant back-ups.

Awesome Software
I've been using Sync Folder and Sync Folder Pro for many years and I'm totally thankful for what it does and how easily it does iit. I have used it the create a hard drive clone for complete backup and it worked flawlessly. I use iCloud as my main document storage drive, simply for the abiliity to access from any of my devices, anyhere that I have internet access. I know it's festidiously backed up and monitored but I still want the peace of mind that comes from having a copy of the data in my home. I use Sync Folder Pro to automatically copy any and all changes to my iCloud folder to a hard drive on at my home. It always does the job correctly and simply.Show lessDenny661
Awesome Sync features!
Managing files across multiple computers in various locations has been a challenge. Whether I'm on an old iMac at home, new iMacs in the office, or my MacBook Pro while traveling, keeping everything up to date has been a struggle.
Sync Folders Pro is a fast and reliable solution to the challenge of ensuring that all my files are consistently updated across each machine I utilize. With this software, I can uniformly organize files on all my computers, making it very simple to locate files or project information. Additionally, it enables me to employ all of my computers as backup storage in diverse locations, thereby enhancing security.
Though I find that the array of available Sync Modes exceeds my personal usage I must acknowledge that more than once I found some of them very useful. The Auto Sync feature quietly operates in the background and does all the work for you. In some cases I prefer to engage manual syncing in conjunction with the preview function, enabling me to assess which files are set to be updated and decide whether to retain certain previous versions of working files. If you prefer to opt for Auto Mode you can rely on the "Move Deleted files to a folder" feature and never lost a file.
Thanks to Sync Folders Pro, the days of manually copying files between computers are behind me. A highly recommended tool that has saved me a significant amount of time and effort!Show lessReview Marian
