Folder sync and backup tool for keeping papers, data, code and project files backed up in multiple locations.
FreeFileSync is a folder comparison, synchronisation and backup tool that keeps files consistent across computers, external drives and cloud sync folders. In research projects it is commonly used to sync paper folders, experimental data, images, code and interim results.
Use cases: folder sync, data backup, paper project backup, external drive sync, syncing cloud storage locally
Note: Confirm the sync direction beforehand to avoid overwriting new files with old ones. For important projects, versioned backups or tools such as Git / DVC are recommended.
