SyncToy for a quick sync and go

Posted on | April 5, 2009 | No Comments

I like to carry a flash drive with me in the field that contains useful utilities, docs, etc. Because I often update my portable utils directory on my computer, I use Microsoft’s free SyncToy to quickly copy/sync my portable utils directory to my flash drive. There are a number of similar utilities – SyncBac, Allway Sync, PowerFolder and many, many others with advanced features. But I use SyncToy due to it’s simplicity. I don’t need to sync across a network or the Internet or via FTP. Just a simple sync of one local directory to my flash drive. SyncToy’s user interface is clean and super simple – a quick sync and go.
