I run a combination of backup schemes to multiple destinations. Box.com, Google Drive, and local hard drives. FreeFileSync seamlessly allows me to move updated files through scheduled tasks without thinking twice. It's great. > > **Cons**: The interface is intuitive, but rather amateurish looking. Aesthetics aside, the program does exactly what it's supposed to do. I can't complain about its functionality - only its amateur UI. > > This software runs on a scheduled task probably 20 times per day, backing up network drives to other storage, and multiple forms of cloud storage. With the exception of an occasional file name error when going from Mac to Windows file shares, the program works flawlessly. I use the donation version which allows more simultaneous threads for speedier transfers and it works really, really well. For the price, it can't be beaten\! And the free version is just as powerful, albeit a bit slower. ----- ### "A bit more of your basic syncing needs" — 4.0/5 > **Keren** | *26 February 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the way the product maintaining synchronization silently, once providing the proper privileges it can go independently while keeping the changes in files and directory updated using minimal CPU and RAM resources. > > **Cons**: I leased liked the fact the program gets the red flags from my anti-virus, changing the anti-virus program not necessary will fix the issue. ----- ### "FreeFileSync - Backup on Steroids" — 5.0/5 > **Elan** | *24 September 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease-of-use of FreeFileSync is remarkable. There are essentially four operational modes, and once you understand the GUI, learning all four takes about thirty seconds. > > **Cons**: This is one of the few products that I really do not have anything negative to comment upon, except for the rare software crash (and I mean VERY rare - it happens maybe once every six months). > > FreeFileSync provides me with a simple and effective backup solution that also works in part as a defense against Ransomware when off-site disks are used for backup. ----- ### "No competition, and open source\!" — 5.0/5 > **Joey** | *7 October 2019* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is not a lot of competition. We have started using FreeFileSync in our company some years ago (syncing large amounts of data to our server). We use it daily and it is a workhorse. Great for backing up and cloning projects. > > **Cons**: The UI isn't amazing. If there are a lot of files, it is hard to keep track of what is being synced and mistakes can happen. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2060034/freefilesync?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2060034/freefilesync) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
