FreeFileSync
FreeFileSync is a program used for file synchronization. It is available on Windows, Linux and macOS. The project is backed by donations. Donors get access to a Donation Edition that contains a few additional features such as an auto-updater, parallel sync, portable version, and silent installation.[1] FreeFileSync has received positive reviews.[2][3] FreeFileSync is available free of charge for personal use; the official Windows installer requires the users to accept the terms of use, which state that for business use they are required to purchase a business edition version of the application. FreeFileSync works by comparing one or multiple folders on their content, date or file size and subsequently synchronizing the content according to user-defined settings. In addition to supporting local file systems and network shares, FreeFileSync is able to sync to Google Drive, FTP, FTPS, SFTP and MTP devices. Adware/malwareEarlier versions were packaged with OpenCandy,[4][5] an adware module which many antivirus software vendors classify as malware.[6][7][8][9] Since the release of version 10.0 in April 2018, the software is ad-free.[10] In November 2018 Norton wrongly considered FreeFileSync installer as a malware and blocked its installation.[11] Supported operating systemsFreeFileSync is available for 32bit and 64bit operating systems. As of July 2024 the then current version 13.7 of FreeFileSync supported the following operating systems and versions:[12]
