Synchronize Folders Apps and Alternatives

Synchronization is the process of creating an exact copy of files from two distinct locations, a source and a target one. Users may also be able to constantly update data over time if necessary.

Folder synchronization is usually suitable for home backups on USB flash drives or on external HDDs.

There are also dedicated applications which prevent copying already identical data or overwriting files that have the same name, so a lot of time can be saved.

Folder synchronization can also be performed automatically with no user intervention, whenever the content of a monitored folder is modified.
