    Comments about FreeFileSync as an Alternative to Allway Sync
     
    PoojanWagh

    AllwaySync has changed hands many times. Back in the day, I trusted it. However, now it was acquired by GoodSync, and they discontinued it. FreeFileSync is essentially donation-ware and continues to get updates.
