    Best alternative IMO, functionality wise. You can setup profile to sync between 2 folders, you can preview what file to be synced, can exclude files.

    A graphical interface for the Rsync engine that will synchronise files between two computers either locally or over the internet. The beauty of Rsync is that it only transfers the exact part of a file that has changed (differential synchronisation), saving bandwidth and time.
