    Hi folks,
    can anyone recommend any good, free, folder sync software please?

    I've done a search online, but would prefer to get a boardsie seal of approval tbh. Any suggestion/advice gratefully appreciated.

    Cheers in advance.

    Im thinking of "freefilesync" if you'd recommend.

    @ mods - sorry if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to move.

    I love DropBox. Its pretty awesome stuff. Probably not free for 12Gb though...but check it out anyway.

    Dropbox is probably the way to go. $100/year for 50GB.

    Allway sync is my personal favorite, but if you sync a huge no. of files regularly, it will see you as a pro user ands make you buy the pro version of the software. You can mitigate this tho by doing an initial copy of your data using teracopy, then syncing the 2 locations in allway sync as long as your daily sync isn't too big.

    Well worth buying tho IMHO if you need to do regular syncs.
