To do that it does a file comparison which takes just a few minutes and a file copy which again takes seconds or minutes. Thereafter, however, it only copies any changed files. My initial backup (340Gb of data over 131,549 files) took over ten and a half hours to complete. So instead of synchronizing in ‘two directions’, both to and from my two PCs, I just want it to keep a ‘backup copy’ on PC Two updated with any changes I make to the files on PC One. I want one ‘working set’ of data and one copied set of data. In fact, my requirements are a bit simpler. With FreeFileSync you can create named backup sets and synchronize groups of subfolders across two computers. In that way you could work on the same data on two PCs and let FreeFileSync synchronize them. That means that you can, in principle, have two complete copies of your data and let FreeFileSync work out which are the most recent copies and then update any out-of-date files by copying the newer versions over them. This lets you synchronize copies of folders and sub-folders. So recently I’ve been using a rather fine file-copying program called FreeFileSync. As I have a lot of data – video files for my courses, document files for my books, plus images, program code and all sorts of other stuff, I really, really don’t want to lose anything. So if PC Number One goes wrong, I can just switch over to PC Number Two and carry on working. In spite of taking daily incremental backups (I use Macrium Reflect for those), what I would really like is to have complete, uncompressed, unarchived, ready-to-run copies of all my data files on a second PC. Having said that, it's still a great solution.I live in dread that my PC will suddenly cease to function and I’ll lose all my work. You can still use a web browser to access on Linux, but it's not quite the same as a native application. The only significant downside I've run into, is that they don't have a Linux based application (they support Windows and Mac). Why? If my computer dies, I don't lose any of my important files, and can even access them using a mobile device, or another computer. This makes life much easier! Also (I've run into this a few times), their clouded store save me a lot of work. Additionally, it's awesome to start working on a document (for example) stored on, then later to use another device and keep working on the same document. As your files are encrypted, they don't have the encryption key - A super feature in the event you want to keep your files available on other devices, but only available to you. One feature that's particularly useful is privacy. In a nutshell, here's what I like: Easy-to-use interface. This service easily solved my primary problem, where I needed to have files accessible across multiple devices, but not stored on those devices.
