ExecutiveSync

Hi, I bought and I'm really disappointed. It's slow - at least, the localized version for German is terrible, texts do not fit, buttons to small, they never tested this. Worst case is, I asked SmithMicro for a refund and the even don't answer.

I purchased the old version of ExecutiveSync back in the day with (then) Aladdin's Ten For X utility bundle, which somehow became YouSync and then support was dropped until SmithMicro bought it and re-released it under the original ExecutiveSync name. Regardless of which name it carries this app is a dud. Slow, unintuitive, and incomplete synchronizations are the rule, there are much better freeware/shareware choices. Brought to you by the same folks that continue to push Stuffit and Spring Cleaning on an unsuspecting public. Caveat emptor (buyer beware).

This is by far, the best backup/sync utility available for Mac OS X. Is fast, complete and has the built in safety of archiving. With the release of Panther, it has picked up a small "bug" of showing two (2) "Help" menus. Sure this will be corrected in the next release.

I would rank ExeSync the best of the OSX filesync applications. Only 1 missing feature. I need something similar to IE history which allows me to delete the history after 30 days. I don't care what files I synced 6 months ago. Worth the shareware fee.

Hey anonymous, I love the comment, "I'm predisposed to thinking that Microsoft software developers are inherent money hungry pr*cks". Jason works in the Mac BU so he's a small M$ pr*ck. He got my $20 ExecutiveSync but he's not going to get my $500 for Office. This is a great program. I suppose that M$ developers don't count as M$ developers when they write code for the Mac in their spare time.

This program rocks. As far as I can tell this is the only sync program for OSX that recognizes a file/folder was deleted in one folder/volume and deletes or moves the file/folder in the other folder/volume. This great because I may work on one machine and move/rename/delete a file. Afer syncing that chane is reflecte on the other machine. With other so-called sync programs the two folders are always made identical. So if I delete a file in one place but not the other it will come back, over and over again. Very frustrating.

Executive Sync is an excellent program. I purchased a copy for my wife in January to keep her powerbook backed up to my G4 tower. We have run it every Sunday for 6 months without even a minor problem. It takes 11 minutes to backup the entire volume over ethernet 3 minutes over firewire. We y recomend this program for users with multiple Mac computers.

This is a true OS X application from a real computer developer. I've added this to my utilities toolbox.

I'm predisposed to thinking that Microsoft software developers are inherent money hungry pr*cks and I would love to give this product a poor evaluation. Regrettably for my ego Jason's ExecutiveSync has thrown me for a loop. This program is now indispensable for everyone that uses both Mac OS X and Windows.

This is a great program. For the first time ever I'm able to backup files to our team server run but the Information Technology and Management group here at Ford. Highly recomend!
