Dropsync

DropSync is a super fast and flexible folder synchronization tool.

It is ideal for a wide range of syncing tasks including:

  • Updating on-the-go documents to a USB stick
  • Backing up, or mirroring a website from a remote host to your local computer
  • Backing up precious files like photos, music and websites to a second computer or external hard drive. Under the hood, DropSync uses an industrial-strength syncing engine (rsync), which means that it is both fast and reliable. DropSync works by incrementally updating files from a source to a destination. It lets you setup multiple sets of folders to sync and can handle syncing between many folders simultaneously.

Some of DropSync’s other features include:

  • The ability to sync with remote computers via the ssh protocol (works from mac to mac and mac to linux)
  • Detailed, searchable previews of every sync operation
  • AppleScript support lets power users easily automate syncs
  • Support for adding custom rsync options
