   Syncthing vs GoodSync Comments

   Negative comment by Tupã Negreiros · Aug 18, 2020

   Although Syncthing is a great file synchronizer, do not completely replace Goodsync, as it does not sync files on the same computer and has no option to move files (delete at source).

   Positive comment by bjarte · Jan 1, 2024

   I agree with the above comment. While being a great tool for its use, this is not the same kind of tool as GoodSync. This is more of a backup tool. When running Syncthing on two directories on the same computer that was already in sync, it wasn't able to see that the files where already there and copied everything over again in addition to creating a lot of zip files instead of copying the actual files.

   FreeFileSync vs GoodSync Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Jan 9, 2018

   Only ftp and sftp connection are available in FreeFileSync. GoodSync has WebDAV, Azure, Amazon, Google Drive, Dropbox and more!

   Positive comment by Guest · May 27, 2018

   In a quick test, I can tell it behaves almost identically to GoodSync. Seems to be a good program.

   Negative comment by John Edwards · Apr 22, 2019

   FreeFileSync is a disaster, it took 24hs to copy over all the files, GoodSync does it in 3hs (clean backup to empty local folder). And what's worrisome: it always finds some new 2-3 GB every time i compare the folders even though i didn't make any changes on the remote directory.

   Negative comment by Guest · Nov 20, 2017

   It only allows backup local files to FTP, I needed the other way around i.e. backup FTP files on local directory.
