FreeFileSync 13.7

FreeFileSync is an Open-Source folder comparison and synchronization tool. It is optimized for the highest performance and usability without restricted or overloaded UI interfaces.

FreeFileSync enables you to synchronize files between two folders or drives. You can mirror two folders to create an exact copy of the source folder. Or perform a two-way synchronization that will copy new or updated files in both directions.

FreeFileSync has Unicode support and Network support. Synchronization database for propagation of deleted files and conflict detection. Also supports multiple folder pairs with distinct configurations.

Full support for Windows Symbolic Links and Windows Junction Points also is available. Furthermore, the software supports an Update mode which will only copy new or changed files.
