MABOROSHI  Interesting source folder you've chosen in the example image.

G4JAY  Does not work for me. Syncing one folder from my Mac Pro to My Macbook. There is a newer file on the Mac Pro. The log says it copied said file, yet when I open the file on the Macbook it was not the new version. I also noticed every time I sync, the log shows it copying the same files every time. Time for me to find another solution.

CRAGGLES  The old adage 'you get what you pay for' is usually correct. So when you come across a FREE app, you should normally be quite wary.

Not so in this case!!

I have tried many different backup/syncing apps to keep a usable backup (not an archived/incremental backup but something I can work on with my Laptop while my Desktop was otherwise busy) on my network drive of my work files and none matched the ease of use of SyncTwoFolders. Obviously, none matched it's price either!

I don't know how it can be given away for free and I initially thought that it it was an old app that was no longer being developed or supported. That was until I needed support and was instantly given it. Regular updates adding some great new features rivalling the most expensive options out there proved my initial scepticism wrong again - and I was glad to be proved wrong in this case!

We have total synchronisation, adding the target's files to the source folder or adding the source folder's files to the target. Automatic deletion of files based on their name or starting characters (which is ideal for not dumping multiple invisible files on the Mac onto a PC disk) and there's even a Batch option where you can carry out multiple syncs all at once.

As if that wasn't enough, in the current version (1.3.5b3) there's even a timer that you can set for the Batch syncing periodically without the need to manually fiddle anymore.

The only thing it's missing (which are really little things) is a progress bar to see how long it's going to take (although you do have the finder copy window for progress), Growl support and Sparkle (for automatic updating from within the app instead of downloading a new copy and then replacing it manually).

I love this app - mostly because the compromises you'd normally make in your expectations to use a free app don't apply here whatsoever! I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd gladly pay for this app if it weren't free.

Thank you Robisson!

PABLITO  Amazing piece of software. Very useful to sync since the pen-drive files to a complete home folder. I am glad it's free; the developer is a gentle and a very accessible person. I hope it keeps evolving .. Congrats.

WALLYDOG  This is a reply to TOM.25. I can't figure out how reply directly to him.

I can guarantee the files are identical. They were copies made just minutes before I tested SynchTwoFolders.

My remarks about the language weren't meant to criticize your English, and I appreciate your effort to translate. However, for me, a native English speaker, some of the language was very awkwardly worded.

"Source up Target" would be a good example. I've read the tool tip half a dozen times and I'm still not sure exactly what "Source up Target" means.

I think it means that the target folder will be updated with all new and modified files, but no files will be deleted. But it's not clear.

The speed of the program was fine.

Again, thanks for your efforts. I hope you continue to update SynchTwoFolders for those of us with PPC Macs.

p.s. I can provide you with specifics if you want, but I'm not sure how to get you my email address.

WALLYDOG  Following is my brief experience with SynchTwoFolders. Please note that I'm using the PPC version.

I love the idea of this program. So I downloaded it and ran a test.

I made a copy of my work folder, then added one file and modified another in the original folder. I then ran a simulated synch, using the original folder as the "source."

SynchTwoFolders correctly identified the two files that needed to replaced. However, it also identified four other files as needing to be replaced for reasons I don't understand. The identified files are identical in creation and modification dates, and haven't even been opened in several years.

This is obviously not acceptable.

Also, I don't know if the devlopers are native English speakers, but the language they use is confusing to put it mildly.

Finally, the results window is very hard to read.

So my search for a simple, cheap program that will reliably synch two folders goes on.

IAMDORIAN  "Where's the PPC version?" What kind of comment is this? Here's a developer who is selfless enough spend his time writing and then constantly improving a very useful FREE software application, and you cannot understand why he does not continue a parallel development for an old hardware platform?

Just a suggestion, but perhaps you might spend YOUR "spare" time working to buy a new Mac, or provide the developer with yours services (for free), so that he has the "spare" time to re-compile this program for others.

A hearty thanks to the developer for this work. :::tipping my hat to you:::

JOSELU  where's the ppc version??

ELEGRAPHY  I was looking for a simple folder synchronizer this afternoon, and this one showed up as a new update in today's MacUpdate. I immediately download it and fire up the app, it worked as advertised. Very useful if you look for a simple folder merger to sync two folders mixed with both new and old downloads.
