User Reviews 1 User Reviews 2 I think your FreeFileSync application is pretty awesome. I've only recently discovered it as I was looking for a good sync program to use on iMac/OSX Yosemite and found some reviews for it. Previously I've been using FolderMatch v3.7.0 for PC but it's quite old now and doesn't seem to get much in the way of support/updates. Anyway, since I started using FreeFileSync on my Windows 10 PC and iMac I've been really pleased by the ease of use, performance and features. Really great job! Given the above I've just donated £10 via PayPal so it should be with you soon. Honestly, I can't remember ever donating to free-ware before but I'm so impressed with FreeFileSync I felt it would be wrong not too! — Anthony Simply the best file sync software and also free backup software: No feature bloat, no bugs, does what it's supposed to blazingly FAST! — MajorG Your program has saved me countless hours of managing various USB sticks and network drives. It's fast, stable, and does exactly what I need. Thank you so much!! — Tancredi Tincani I've been using this for years and this is a great tool for simplifying backups and various comparisons and synchronizations. Thanks! — Jason Hensley Thanks for a great app. It really gives peace of mind knowing that files are backed up right. Especially when I discovered image programs aren't transferable to another computer. FreeFileSync files are. Yeah! — Dale Dudas Works perfectly! I use it to backup files from my Uni-Server... Keeps me up to date every week with one click. =) — Chris Fast and easy to use. Allows me to sync selected directories between laptop and desktop quickly and accurately. Options include sync, two-way update, and clone. Works with Win 8.1, 7, and XP. — carlcobb Best file sync software I have ever used. I used to run SyncToy 64-bit version, but after running into problems and being unable to fix them (as my file count went up) I decided to try FreeFileSync. To this date, I have not experienced a single problem, not even a hickup. One directory contains over 10 million files, and it runs through with ease. — joqqy Great program. Good work. Simple, powerful, easy to use and working fine with every release — Grégoire Lauber Excellent sync software; replaced SyncToy with this when I realised that SyncToy had gradually wiped rather than backed up my files. Works well; can't believe how much quicker it is! — Simon Thanks for the terrific program. Needed a Briefcase replacement. Got that and much more! — Damien Josefiak It is very easy and works over network, local drives and external ones. A must-have if you use more than a computer and huge files make cloud drives an unfeasible option. — piterdias I found FreeFileSync to be extremely helpful, dependable, very easy to use — a wonderful experience all around to use this program. All other (and expensive) backup programs were uninstalled — I no longer have any use for them. :-) — Stefan Pawlik SyncToy ran for HOURS and didn't finish a job that FFS did in 14 minutes. — Stephen Bishop This is * * * THE BEST * * * It managed all of my 80,000 files in 489 directories: No problem!! I have tried at least 10 different sync tools in the past 10 years. This is wonderful. It is a 'good looking' friend of rsync! — anonymous This free sync program is the best! No need for commercial products anymore after discovering this. Been using it for a few months now. Never gonna look back! With each new release speed and features have increased. — sarlacc One of the most useful software tools I know — as a computer user you can live without it, but it makes absolutely no sense! — Dr. med. Christoph Schmülling Hi, Dev! Congratulations for the Software. It's very useful. Keep developing it! Big hug! — Wendell Vaz De Almeida Full stars. I've been working with it for years already. Makes backups very easy and perfectly. Even works over networks. Very good, very reliable. — Roland I've tried many different programs for file synchronization. I stopped when I started using FreeFileSync. Thank you for developing such a superb and super-useful program. I am recommending it whenever I have a chance. Keep up the already-very-good work. Cheers. — M. Del Gatto Thank you for FreeFileSync! Works nicely and is slick (after figuring out all the options ;-) — Lex It is the ideal application to synchronize my files between two computers and one file server. I was testing before a few other solutions, but FreeFileSync is the best of the best!! Thank you for this project! Best regards. — mutancik This is one of those tools you cannot live without. I use FreeFileSync at least twice a day, to update the full backup I keep in a USB stick. Every month I also mirror my work files into a removable USB-2 drive. Once I waited for 3 months to update into my second removable drive and I had to wait for only 25 minutes, even though I had changed a lot of songs and videos. Moreover, my USB stick backups take no more than 3 minutes for a full day of work.
The creator of FreeFileSync was kind enough to respond to some suggestions I made, but it's hard to think on improving this program because it is already great! — adimare I've been testing this for a while now, and I can finally say I don't feel the need to rely on GoodSync anymore. Great job! — Gabriele Bartoli Great FREE sync software that actually replaced my 'paid' for app. Keep up the great work, thank you! :) — mradeveci

And I tried FreeFileSync: It does exactly that I wanted to do, and it is really very fast. It scans my 200,000 files in only 2.5 minutes!!! So I'm VERY happy with FreeFileSync. — oid-3813974 When my machine's power supply failed it scrambled my hard disk. The backups with FreeFileSync allowed me to quickly recover my data with no loss. — Timothy P Merriman This program is outstanding. Very easy to use and setup. Reliable. Does what it says on the tin! — orangereaper Most useful application. During all these years that I've been using it, it has gotten better and better. — Marios (GR) The best file sync tool ever. I use it every day to sync and backup my data. Thank you — Salim Belgroune Awesome program; thanks so much for developing this! I use it to back up all of my important data files that I store on a separate disk on a nightly basis, and have recovered from a hard drive failure with zero loss once already. Excellent program! — Steve Storm Thank you for continually filling a huge gap and for making things possible that were previously only dreams! — Tiziano Riolfo Love this product. I use it to keep a backup list of all my files. Quick, easy to use, with some fantastic features. If you need to keep folders synced, this is the product to use. — MIKE I've been using this software for a few years now. I really appreciate how well it works and the effort you've put into it. — David Voiles Fantastic program, tried a few to do the job I needed doing and this one beats all the others hands down. — Steve Downing Awesome!! I have been looking for an application like this for months!! Finally I found something that can efficiently manage all my folders (photos, music, text files, applications, etc.) which I am constantly editing and for which I need to create backups for on my laptop, ipad, 2 external hard drives and virtual hard drives such as icloud, dropbox, google drive, one drive etc.
This software is simple and easy to use, has important necessary features and best of all is quick for syncing between all these devices. Highly recommended! — anthonysan FreeFileSync just makes things easy by improving over successive versions. One of the best applications/tools I have ever used. Strongly recommended!! — Peri Thank you for this great sync tool. I use it to back up to my external USB hard disks. Great software! — Ralf Peiler Excellent product! Backing up my digital photo collection is trivial, even as I move folders around, change photo ratings, etc. — patricknbowman Best file sync tool especially for a mirror data backup. It would be nice to have an online mirror backup. — biscuite Best of all!!! No doubt, forget Synctoy. Now 5 years using it on Windows without trouble. — rodob Really replaces rsync for windows. — altex Probably the best open source software that I have ever encountered. :) Keep up the good work! — akya Great software. Requires a bit of time to set up if you want to use real-time sync, but it's fast and easy. I'm using it to copy files to and from my portable hard disk so I can work at them both at home and at work and it works flawlessly. — Olivia Stevens Best out of all 5 sync programs I've tried, both commercial (Goodsync, AllwaySync) and non-commercial (SyncBack, SyncToy). Don't waste your time trying other "commercial" ones. THIS IS THE BEST. — executerror Great Software, I've used it for several years without problems. It is very fast and I can trust the results. Very good job! — Bernd Schäler-Beck Brilliant program, been searching for years for something like this, only sorry it's taken me so long to discover! — Trevor Learoyd Love the great cross-platform support! I use FreeFileSync on Arch Linux and Windows systems. — Nathan Hoffman Thank you guys so much. You have done a great job and I absolutely love this software. It makes managing my data so much easier. — Martin Kay I've been using FreeFileSync for a while, and it is simply the best, most reliable synchronization tool that I've come across. I expect I'll still be using it for years to come! — Willem-Jan Olwagen FreeFileSync has become essential for me. It has saved me hours, sorted my files, and my security copies. Many thanks! — María López de Quinto The best free synchronizer I know. Even a small effort to facilitate the selection of directories and it will be perfect. Thank you very much to all the team for this software that I use every day! — Antoine Works like a charm. Easy to use. I can't live without it. — martin SO awesome. There's so much I could say about this indispensable program, but I'll just tell you now that the amount of options and different types of sync methods will ensure you are able to do what you need, as well as the ability to save your sync configurations for certain sync jobs, so that you can easily do them in the future. Great UI, please don't change it, because too many people are ruining their software these days with some new crap that renders their software useless, literally making it impossible to do anything. Keep up the GREAT work, developers, you really know what you're doing <3 You rock mah socks! ^ _ ^ — space0ctopus

Just like people believe in their country and a God, I believe in FreeFileSync. The best part is that you are not spammed with advert pop ups or anything like with other freeware. Thank you so much FreeFileSync! — VendeeClown Like using your program. I like the way you can fine tune the rules for backing up each folder. — Larry Oliver I'm using this tool for quite some years now. It's better than all the others I've tried before, and in addition it's completely free! Thanks a lot for your splendid work! — drujo Thanks for your work to date on this project and your phenomenally fast responses to bug submissions. I think this is a great piece of software and will only get better with your enthusiasm. I was so impressed that I was happy to make a small donation. Keep up the good work :-) — kjen33 I have no idea why I have never found this before, because I've been looking for something that did exactly this forever, and it does it better than I ever hoped for! — Amanda Hopkins Works great — just what I was looking for. Thanks for allowing me to evaluate free of charge. — Kevin Forth I have been searching (for a long time up to about 2 years ago when I found FreeFileSync) for a utility that does this, even contemplated creating my own. FreeFileSync is a one stop solution that does it all, and does it the way I expect it to. And its versatile and user friendly enough to compare files produced by the engineering tools I use. I've even used it to check disk transfer speed in real life scenarios, works like an absolute charm.
It really became a tool I use extremely often, it's one of my must have's like 7zip. It beats "Unison" hands down for user friendliness and speed to install and get on systems. It beats the tool "Beyond Compare" hands down because it's open source and freely available, but I have to say, I'd love the "Beyond Compare" capabilities, but I cannot justify its cost. FFS does enough for me that I can do without it. — Chris Bosch Best tool I've used for keeping in sync between home, office and abroad. Thanks!!! — nicolaes I've used your program many, many times. It works great. Thanks for the great product! — Kile Reeves FreeFileSync is my favorite tool to sync my private and working data for more than 7 years now. Keep on going, FFS! — Michael Hentze Great software and I simply love the fact that files are just copied and easily browsed in case you need to restore them. — Ljubo Brodarić Lots of really useful small details: The right mouse click on gear icons and grid rows, the quick selection change via overview window and space bar, copy and paste of filters and much more. — blues12 Awesome and reliable sync software you can count on. I've been using it for more than 3 years now. Best I have used so far for syncing. — Peri2 After the death of my home's NAS I was in big trouble... But now, thanks to FreeFileSync, I have all my data saved in a so easy way that I am not looking for another NAS. A couple of external cheap hard disks are enough!! (and FreeFileSync, of course) :-) I am sharing my experience through my international contacts. Hoping to find more supporters for your GREAT work. Thanks for all. — odj1964 Awesome scalable tool!!!!! This is the only tool I know which can compare and sync 2 directories with more than 11,000,000 files, and not die while syncing. It took my server a couple of days to sync those monster directories, but hey ... I'm happy! - Theo Ekelmans Ordina Datacentre services. — Theo I have found the sorcerer's stone and it is FreeFileSync. — allijeanbean

The author has done a lot of careful thinking about how the program should work from the user's perspective, and (more importantly) how it works under the covers. — JohnB in Atlanta Operation is intuitive and simple while powerful features like mirroring, backup, synchronization, etc. can be done manually and automatically. I've been searching for such a tool for a long time and tried several others. Up to now nothing is comparable to FFS. — dcamarena I knew I should have just looked for an open-source solution to file synchronization rather than wasting my time with commercial trial software! — Brian Tao Haven't tried FreeFileSync yet... but watching your tutorials it feels like it's the best backup program ever! — Siarhei Bokach Simply a great software, quick installation, easy to set up and use. That's how a software should be. Best regards from Switzerland. — Werner Baumann Excellent utility for synchronizing two hard drives and/or important directories! Easy to use and fairly intuitive. Short learning curve. For the reviewer looking for "Help" resources, it is right there on the top left of the screen next to the Tools tab. Program is fairly documented in the "Content" selection. — abeali I've tried almost every files and folders synchronisation program available on windows. And FreeFileSync is definitely the best. It's the fastest, the most customisable and the most intuitive one, and above all, it's open source. — pellk I use FreeFileSync for months and I am very happy with this software. Thank you and congratulations to those who developed it, improve it and update it regularly. — Hervé Guillain Outstanding program. And it's free!! I have used this program for about 3-4 years now. And it is simply amazing. I had been looking for a program like this for years. The one I used to have was ViceVersa, until it became too expensive. It basically mirrors my important folders over to my NAS (Sylonogy and D-Link). It does such a great job showing exactly what is going to change (delete/add/modify). It's so simple to use, but also customizable. You can change the behaviour of individual files. Simply the best. Zenju did such a good job creating this. Thank you! — staminino Thank you for your amazing work! — guillaumecombot The file filter specification (inclusion and exclusion) brings incredible power to this free software. Thanks for showing us that free can be (much) better than paid software. — gaetan Keep up the good work! FreeFileSync is essential for my backup strategy! Thank You! — Robert Schurig A really good program and I will always support you. — Jhshin
