If you want to resolve the differences, FolderMatch allows you to manually copy, move, delete, & rename files and subfolders. If you want, FolderMatch can even synchronize the folders for you!

“I used to spend hours in Windows Explorer checking for missing/outdated files on the network drive. There are currently 5,000 in each area, and FolderMatch finds all discrepancies in about 5 seconds.”

Sync Folders

Keep two folders, drives, or computers in step without copying files by hand. FolderMatch compares the folders, then synchronizes them at the click of a button, using the method you choose.

• One-way or two-way: make one folder an exact copy of the other, update one folder, or update both with newer and missing files.
• Twelve ready-made sync methods, or build your own rules (leave, copy, replace, or delete) for each type of difference.
• Review every copy and delete before anything changes, and send deleted files to the Recycle Bin where Windows allows.
• Network-friendly: only files that don’t match are replaced, which keeps network traffic down.

“One look at FolderMatch told me that a lot of good thought went behind the design of the user interface. Your selections of the ‘Method’ to synchronize is crystal clear… With your competitors, I’m never sure if the synchronization is really going one-way.”

“FolderMatch’s comparator is by far the very best I know of… none of them show those differences with the clarity and detail that FolderMatch’s comparator does… I can tell immediately why the lines are different.”
