TERRY4  I have been using this software from its early Mac OS 9 days and have never had a problem with it. I use it to sync my desktop to my laptop. I suspect that many of the probems reported by other users having less success with thios program is related to other causes, such as not properly maintaining the system software. I would like to see a more elegant user interface for the settings, but otherwise thsi is a first rate product.  (Version 3.6.1)

HOPETINDALL  I purchased FS in summer 2005.

Unfortunately - I haven't been able to run it since - as it damages the permissions on my SOURCE disk every time I run it.

There seems to be some problem with the software's handling of symlinks.

In the interim - I've been using the much less functional 'Deja Vu' - as this doesn't do damage to my disk like Folders Synchronizer.

The author was initially responsive to my emails - despite an early offer of refund (which i turned down hoping the problem would be fixed) - he now doesn't seem to want to give me a refund and hasn't seemed to have addressed the problem either.

I really hope he fixes this software so I can use it again. When it works - it's great. But I don't want something messing up my disk.

HAROLD ROETH,  I just noticed that there has not been any recent comment on this fine program. I use it with OS 10.4.5 to regularly back-up certain important files. I also use the timer option with FS running in the background to backup important publications I am working on every 5 minutes, LotŐs of uses for this program as their web site indicates. Never any problems. (v3.5)  (Version 3.6b)
