Allway Sync compares files in specified folders and copies the modified file to the counterpart folder, it synchronizes folders. Unlike other file sync tools that just copy files with the most recent modification time, Allway Sync uses a true bi-directional synchronization algorithm that does not depend on system clock accuracy, and also propagates file deletions correctly.
  • FREE for personal use synchronization software. No spyware, adware or malware.
  • Easy-to-use graphical interface.
  • Performs true bi-directional and n-way file and folder synchronization, forget about backup and restore routines.
  • File modifications and deletions are tracked in a local database. So, Allway Sync knows the true history of your files--no unnecessary questions asked.
  • Our innovative, proprietary algorithms do not rely on the accuracy of the system clock or network connection quality. So, Allway Sync helps prevents data loss.
  • Generates a full report of differences between synchronization folders.
  • Synchronizes folders as well. Allway Sync detects when folders are removed from one device and removes them from any other corresponding synchronization targets.
  • Supports virtually any file system (FAT, NTFS, SAMBA, Netware, X-Drive, CDFS, UDF and more).
  • Capable of synchronizing more than two folders.
  • Synchronize data between your desktop PCs and laptops over a network.
  • A good way to backup and restore files if you run Allway Sync in one-way mode.
  • Specify independent synchronization parameters for any number of sets of folders (multiple jobs).
  • Transfer documents from one computer to another using an intermediate removable drive.
  • Or just synchronize with a removable device (USB key, flash drive, CDRW, Zip) so that you always have your data with you.
  • Flexible configuration and customization.
  • Supports files of any size.

Allway Sync is very simple to use. It is an excellent choice to copy/backup important files you store on your desktop computer, laptop or USB drive. Allway Sync will make a copy of every file in one folder (directory) and place it in another (your backup) folder. Allway Sync will detect any changes you made to your files. Files that have changed will be automatically copied to your backup folder. Allway Sync can be used to "synchronize" files between two or more folders. What do I mean? Allway Sync will copy/backup the most recent version of a file between two or more folders and or devices. Files that have not changed are not processed. This speeds up the backup or synchronization and keeps your computer and it's resources free for other work. Each backup folder and drive will contain exact duplicates of the original.

Though Allway Sync is very simple to use it also has advanced features that can perform more complex operations. You can use "inclusion or exclusion filters" to automate the backup of specific files or folders (directories). Allway Sync can be configured to automatically begin a backup or synchronization operation. Automatic startup options include:

  • when a removable drive is connected to your computer (USB key/thumb drive, etc)
  • before you log out/turn off your computer
  • starting if file changes are detected
  • when you start/run Allway Sync
  • at time intervals you specify
  • using Windows "Task Scheduler"
I use the Windows "Task Scheduler" to start/run Allway Sync. I can schedule a backup to run each day at a time when my computer is on, but I'm not using it (lunch time). I also like Allway Sync's ability to automatically backup a device once it is connected to a computer. I use a USB flash/thumb drive to store files, and my favorite portable utilities and applications. No matter where I go I have the things I need and am comfortable working with. When I plug my USB flash/thumb drive in to my home computer Allway Sync automatically synchronizes and backs up any changed files. I don't have to remember to do anything and my backup/sync process always get done. More information about Allway Sync's advanced features can be found in the "Help" topics accessible from the menu bar of the application and the "online FAQ". You do not have to understand the advanced features to begin using Allway Sync.

Just about any kind of file can be synchronized and duplicated between folders. Use Allway Sync to backup your important Word documents, spreadsheets, customer database, pictures of your family. I use "Allway Sync" to backup my MP3 collection to both an external USB drive and to the hard drive of a separate computer (my wife's) on my home network. You can also use Allway Sync to synchronize and backup files to MP3 players, USB thumb drives, digital cameras, flash and zip drives, CD/DVD burners/drives. If you run a SOHO (small office, home office) business you may want to consider buying the professional version of Allway Sync. It is very inexpensive and provides even more benefits and useful features.
