#FREEFILESYNC CNET PORTABLE#

However, FreeFileSync Portable doesn't do much to compete with more advanced backup programs that let you do more with your files. FreeFileSync is Open Source software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It's easy to use and makes backing up your files relatively painless. FreeFileSync is a free open source data backup software that helps you synchronize files and folders on Windows, Linux and macOS. If you don't currently use a backup utility, this isn't a bad one to choose. The program's interface is fairly responsive and easy to browse, but the glossy buttons seemed a little cheesy to us. There aren't any options to delete duplicate files or compress the files to save space on your drive. FreeFileSync Portable doesn't offer many ways to customize your backup, other than choosing to mirror the backup or select certain folders. In addition to choosing any folder on your computer, you can choose an attached drive or memory card, if you want. The best part is that it offers you password-protected folders that are of unlimited file size. It allows you to sync any folder of your choice on the hard drive safely. This file synchronization platform is created by EMC Corporation. This program gives you two separate drop-down lists: one to choose the folder of files you want to copy and another to choose the destination folder. Syncplicity is the last free file sync software on our list. It makes it easier to carry them on a portable drive, after all. That's not massive by any means, but portable programs tend to be less than 1MB.

Though this includes portable right in the name, it checks in at 24MB. Still, if you just want a slightly better version of Windows' drag-and-drop system, this program will probably meet your needs. FreeFileSync Portable lets you compare and synchronize files and folders, but it doesn't offer much in the way of advanced goodies as there's no way to compress, re-organize, or clean up your files as you're copying them.
