SyncToy 2.1 is a free application that synchronizes files and folders between locations. Typical uses include sharing files, such as photos, with other computers and creating backup copies of files and folders.
It is so easy to use, I think my mum could do it.
Here I have setup synchronization of My Documents to my Microsoft Windows Live SkyDrive cloud account to ensure my documents are backed up at all times. This is a free service. This also allows me to sync the files down to any new computer I work on.
Z:\ is mapped to windows live cloud account.

looks interesting, does it do bi-directional syncing?
ReplyDeleteYes - bi directional just like DFS-R :)
ReplyDeleteAlso does conflict detection if a change was made on both sides and lets you know about it.
that's pretty good.
