Excellent software and handy for use.

and you can save the log file. so you can control where there could be a problem when you did a sync.
(mostly common problem with all programs in this category.) is when they have to treat web-links, who have a to much long file name.
so if any problem occurs, you can correcting later what there was wrong.
