SyncToy v2.0

Sync Toy 2,0 is a free Utility designed by Microsoft that
provides an easy to use graphical user interface that can automate synchronizing files and folders. It is simple free tool that will enable you to synchronise files and other documents across one or more computers. Basically, a synchronization organizer that allows you to sync different folders with the same files.
SyncToy can

  1. manage multiple sets of folders at the same time;
  2. can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another.
  3. keep track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
  4. can sync folders over the network.

All you have to do to is to
  • configure SyncToy is to select your Left Folder and pair it up with the Right Folder.
  • choose an option on how you want the files to be processed.

    Options:

    1. Synchronize -
    New and updated files will be copied both ways, renames and deletions are copied both ways.

    2. Echo -
    New and updated files are copied from the Left Folder to the Right Folder, and renames and deletions on the Left are repeated on the Right.

    3. Contribute -
    New and updated files are copied from the Left Folder to the Right Folder, renames are copied Left to Right, and no deletions.
