There are a few freeware programs that can help you sync two folders in real time, but they all have some drawbacks. One program, for example, requires the user to manually open the program and run the synchronization. Another program requires the user to wait for the program to run on a recurring basis. ..
This article is about a software program that you can use to setup real time syncing between two folders stored in different locations. This is useful for backup purposes or if you are working in a team and want to avoid a cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive.
Dsynchronize
Dsynchronize is a program that helps you keep your computer running smoothly. It is written by some developer in Poland whose website looks like it is from the 1990’s! However, don’t judge a book by its cover because the programs he writes are excellent.
Dspeech is a program that can help you synchronize your computer’s clock and time. It can also help you fix time errors. If you’re having trouble with your computer’s clock or time, Dspeech may be the answer for you.
The software is clean and doesn’t contain any junkware, malware, ads, etc. Once you download the ZIP file, go ahead and extract all the files. After that, run the application file. ..
The application will ask you to configure the source and destination boxes. You’ll need to provide a path to your source code and a path to your destination code.
The Filter button will allow you to filter the sources you see in the table. The Browse button will allow you to browse through all of the sources in the table.
The Browse button lets you choose a folder to browse through. You can filter the folders by selecting one of the options below. If you want everything synced, then don’t worry about the filter button.
To enable real-time syncing, click on the Synchronize button and then select the Enable Real-Time Syncing checkbox. ..
To start, if you want to keep changes synced between both folders, you should check Bidirectional synchronization. This will automatically enable the Copy only newer files box too. I also recommend checking Create folder if not exists so that when you create a new folder in one folder, it will automatically create the same folder in the other syncedfolder.
Backup Changes lets you keep multiple versions of changes to a document, so you can see what you changed and why.
There are several more options available to you if you are confused about how to uninstall the application. If you have not read the file located in the folder where the application was unzipped, we suggest that you do so before continuing.
After you click the Synchronize button, you can make some changes and then do another sync to make sure it’s working the way you want. ..
To get the real-time sync, you have to check the Realtime sync box under Special options. Now if you leave the program window open and start adding, removing or updating files in the source or destination folder, you’ll see that the folders are updated automatically without any user intervention.
Timer sync is a great feature because it allows you to keep the program window open. However, there are two more options you need to check: Autostart and Autostart as service. ..
When you try to check the Autostart button, you will get a message saying that you have to start Dsynchronize as an Administrator. In order to do this, close the program and then right-click on the application file and choose Run as Administrator.
Now you can check the Autostart box without the message. Next, check the Autostart as service box and you’ll get a popup where you have to click the Install Service button. ..
Once you have completed the steps above, the Start Service button will become clickable. Click on that and don’t worry about Account, Password, etc. Just make sure System Account is checked. Click Done and you should see the program now says it’s running as a service. ..
That’s it! Now close the program and start updating, adding or deleting data from your folders and watch as those actions are instantly synced to the other folder.
Overall, the program worked well in my tests and I was impressed with the speed and also the fact that I could keep backups of the changes. If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Enjoy! ..
