What's a good file syncing program?

Question

I need one that I can set to sync certain files in my Documents. I have Windows 8. I need it to sync the folders with identical folders in my other computer's Documents. The situation is that I have some games on both computers that store files in my Documents, and I want each computer to have the game saves that the other has. Please, and thank you.

Answer 1

How are you connecting the 2 computers? If by network then you will need to set up your shares so that you can sync the files. Then map the drive. I like DirSync Pro for its simplicity. It is a free program. Also available is the command line Robocopy. You can make a simple batch file. I have done this for my users folders and it works great. Then you can set windows task scheduler to run the task daily. Open up wordpad then write your script. Something like: Robocopy "c:\my folders" "x:\my folders" /mir



After you are done then save the file as a .bat file. Be careful the batch will mirror the contents so if you have items on the other computer in that directory that you need to save then in some other folder because otherwise it will delete them because it is making an exact replica. DirSync Pro is easy to use if you don't like writing you own scripts.



If the computers aren't on the same network then something like sugarsync

Answer 2

Enabling the File Synchronization program solves the problem by instructing Windows to keep a copy of each document or data file on both the local hard drive and on a secured network storage server. If the computer, such as a laptop, is removed from the Bates network, the user can continue to work on the local copy of the file. Mozy’s app for iOS and Android devices gives your smartphone or tablet access to your Mozy Sync folder wherever you are, and whenever you need it. When the computer is reconnected to the network, Windows will synchronize the files with those on the network server, updating any changes.
