FreeFileSync

FreeFileSync is an open-source file synchronization tool designed to create and manage backup copies of files effectively. It operates by intelligently comparing the contents of source and target folders, identifying differences to ensure that backups are accurate and up-to-date.

This software is compatible with major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible to a wide range of users. The application focuses on performance and ease of use, allowing users to set up synchronization tasks with minimal effort.

One of the core functionalities of FreeFileSync is its ability to transfer only the necessary data between folders. This feature not only saves time but also optimizes storage usage.

The latest version, FreeFileSync 13.7, introduces several enhancements, including improved handling of symbolic links and a refined synchronization concept that differentiates between various types of file changes. Additionally, users can now license the software for business use, further broadening its applicability.

FreeFileSync is supported through ad revenue and donations, ensuring that users have free access to a comprehensive file management solution.
