SyncToy

Free by Microsoft | Link to website

SyncToy is a free PowerToy designed by Microsoft, that provides an easy to use graphical user interface that can automatically synchronize local or network files and folders, but not WebDAV-, "Windows Mobile" files or folders and no triangle-sync as only Allway Sync or GoodSync can do. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case.

Will not copy files that are in use which makes is somewhat useless for my needs. I recommend FreeFileSync for this purpose. Easier to use and it doesn't freeze up like Synkron does.

Uh, I tried to install it on Windows XP, didn't work. So I tried Allway Sync and it did the job right.

I also noted that at least under windows 7, synctoy is not reliable. It did not copy everything. I used version 2.1.

No other free application than Allway Sync () is able to sync directly and reliable a WebDAV-Folder or SD-Memory-Card from a "Windows Mobile" SmartPhone with a Vista PC Folder.
After detailed comparison with many other syncing applications I recommend Allway Sync as the best one, if you have no problems with the restriction of max. 40000 files per months for free private use.

Comment by em4020 about SyncToy Aug 2009

I have tested SyncToy many month ago. In my remembering the synchronisation prozess was not reliable, concerning synchronizing in BOTH directions inluding DELETION in BOTH directions, so that i very soon changed to the very reliable professional products Allway Sync (free until max. 20000 files/ month or PureSync free without limitations for private use. The Open Source product SYNKRON is also very reliable, but You cannot see in the file-list the size, date and time of the synced files after comparing process.
