Took me HOURS to manually edit each folder to 1 letter names to shorten the name until eventually some Linux live boot CD would allow me to delete the folder from the disk. It started syncing indefinitely and created more subfolders than Windows or any OS for that matter could handle. Nothing really shocking and I ditched bi-directional syncing anyways as I only tag on the server.Īnother issue I had was when I made a mistake in target folder and somehow created a loop. It sometimes messed up not keeping the latest or copying files back that I deleted on the other side. I had 2 minor issues, one with bi-directional syncing when I edited music tags on both the pc and the server, trying to keep both folders identical. A lot of useful options for syncing and can sync to cloud services as well. It’s fast and stable.If you're still looking have a look at AllwaySync as well. However, for my general syncing between NAS, seed box, DC server, Windows PC & laptop I settled on Syncthing. It’s not very fast and it doesn’t sync different profiles at the same time. GoodSync is stable, works on both platforms (even Linux), covers a lot of different storage platforms, is relatively easy to figure out and has been doing its stuff in the background without any issues at all. Didn’t finish testing, but it has been running for a couple of weeks without any specific issues. YMMV though.įreeFileSync is probably good, I just find the user experience terrible. Overall I t works ok, I just can’t trust it when throwing a lot of data at it. Sometimes it would sync files that haven’t changed for a while generating a lot of traffic. I had issues with syncing not picking up changes, the app freezing without any warning, messing up files when they change on both sides and not picking up the network connection when it goes down and up again.

If it’s not install and forget I take it off my list.

While both work well with Cryptomator (they recognize a Cryptomator vault and mount it automatically) I had too many patty issues which made it less than interesting for me. It’s a software to access different types of storage.
