It’s a routine task to copy or move a file from one location on your computer to another. When it comes to synchronizing files in one folder with another folder can be hard without the right software. When it’s another machine that you’re wanting to move or copy a folder to, you have to have that same software on the other machine. See where I’m going? It can get to be a huge hassle. Thankfully, Synkron can help. Synkron is a multi-platform Qt application designed for synchronizing two or more folders.

Apart from doing synchronizations, it provides many other additional features. The user interface of Synkron is divided into several sections: Synchronize, Multisync, SyncView, Scheduler, Restore, Blacklist and Filters. To switch between these sections, use the toolbar.

  • Synchronize multiple folders.
  • Tabs allow you to have more synchronizations running at once.
  • Periodical synchronizations automatically sync your folders in selected intervals.
  • Restore files, which were overwritten during the synchronization.
  • Add files and folders to black list to make sure they won’t be synchronized in the future.
  • Make schedules and backup using multisync.

It’s amazing how detailed this program is. As I pointed out, it’s fully open-source. With this much power, it’s almost overwhelming. I’ve been looking for a simple way to sync multiple folders and files across my network, on many different operating systems.

How many computers do you have at home, and how often do you back up? What happens if your backup is messed up? Redundancy is a good thing. You should be able to sync your folders and information together with ease, so that you always have access to it. If you’re looking for a good tool to do this, make sure you check out Synkron.
