Being somewhat of an optimist, I keep hoping that this newest version of Goodsync is actually going to work.
#SYNKRON PORTABLE FREE#
I have used (tried to use) the free version of goodsync off and on during a period of time lasting approximately three years. The figure for transfers per month is not mentioned in any of the readme files or help files that come with Goodsync. You do not get anything close to ten thousand transfers per month. The limitation figures that you reported for "GoodSync" (), are wrong and wrong by a huge amount. Today's GOTD offering, "Beyond Sync Pro" likewise is a good performer. They all do a good job at synchronizing folders on my computer. The synchronization programs that I currently have on my desktop and use every few days include Microsoft SyncToy, Allway Sync, and Sync Now. Once that you have set up the two entities that you want to synchronize your stuck with that profile. The Microsoft SyncToy program has one major shortcoming. As I have explained, I have never gotten close to the limit. The third synchronization, which it contained the fewest new files, stumbles and refuses to run giving me an error message telling about the limitations of the free version of Goodsync.
The first and second synchronization has always worked correctly. Most of the time but I am synchronizing the two thumb drives I am synchronizing at the most 10 to 12 file names. Using two thumb drives with files synced between the two just the day, starts becoming a problem on the third day that have tried to use the goodsync product.
I do not come close to visiting one hundred NEW websites between my resynchronization of the thumb drives. Normally I synchronize passwords used on the various websites on to thumb drives. You can tell from what I have already written that it never does. I hope this helps developers improve the application and users to be aware of what might go wrong.Īn alternative is use Automator (part of OSX), there's a very useful guide to building a file synchronise workflow on the net, I can't give you the URL as it's forbidden by this site :-(The limitation figures that you reported for "GoodSync" ( ), are wrong and wrong by a huge amount. I do not understand why Synkron needs to create a huge file, containing actual files being scynchronised, when file meta data should be enough. The culprit was a hidden 70 GB file called ".Synkron" in my home folder, taking up free space on my Macbook and the Time Machine external drive, which I immediately deleted from both locations. Not being sure why this had happened, I uninstalled Synkron for good using App Cleaner.īut what a surprise when a day later Backup Loupe showed that Time Machine had backed up over 75 GB of data when the norm is 5 GB at most. It took me a long time to clean up the mess. Synkron ignored the flagged "replicate deletions" option and synchronised both source and targets resulting in files I had deleted ages ago reappearing on my laptop. Happy with what it showed it was going to do, I synchronised. Before I synchronised I checked what Synkron was going to do using the analyse button.
#SYNKRON PORTABLE PRO#
I use Synkron on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7.5. When it works, it's great but if it goes wrong, it leave a BIG mess to clean up.
