Synctoy Replacement

[Banksiagirl]

Hi All, I'm in the process of setting up my new windows 10 64 bit pc. Synctoy is no longer available in the microsoft downloads site.  Brian what do you recommend as a replacement?

[Damien Symonds]

I can't speak for Brian, but I've switched to FreeFileSync, and been very happy so far.

Thanks Damien, Ill check that out.

FreeFileSync is a good one. I've also heard of Syncthing being well regarded too. The difference between the two is FreeFileSync uses your network to transfer files, Syncthing uses the Internet/Cloud. For me, FreeFileSync gets my vote.

Thanks Brian, I think I’ll stick with the free file sync - my internet is not the best on a good day.

Of course, you can still find Synctoy 2.1 64-bit.

SyncToy 2.1 64-bit

Is FreeFileSync still a good option please?

[Brian]

I haven't messed with software such as this in a very long time. That said, it looks to be recently updated so I'd give it a try. You can always remove it.
