Keep folder (s) on your PC and USB stick and automatically flush with Allway Sync


The USB stick is in my opinion been one of the most revolutionary inventions of the computer. Today works a little computer nerd of course entirely through 'the cloud', but for most people is the USB stick is still the wonderful device that was three years ago.
However, ICT coordinator, I find a problem too often against: dramas because of lost drives.
Yet there is a simple and effective solution:. Alway Sync With this piece of software that you simply take on the stick, you ensure that the files on your computer and on your USB stick always remain the same. If your computer breaks your USB stick is your salvation. If you disappear USB stick, you have your computer yet. And the most impressive: the software ensures it is completely free!

Operation of Allway Sync

Working with Allway Sync is easy. Once the installation is complete, launch the program. There is only one window where it all happens. You can see two images of a computer, one left and one right. Each computer (a little unfortunate idea I think) represents a folder. Through the view button, you can browse your computer, and the folder you want to sync, search and selection. That folder can be located both on the hard disk, the network, on a USB stick there. These are the two folders that will hold the sync program.

The program will compare the contents of the folders and to ensure that the content is exactly the same. Older versions of files are overwritten with the latest version, deleted files in one location are also deleted in the other location ... So if you have a file've worked on your USB stick, then the copy of the file on your PC state, are updated. You work on a file on your computer, then the copy of that file on your USB drive is overwritten on the next synchronization.

To complete the picture, you can install and to synchronize the program on different computers. At work, you work on your work computer that you sync through Allway Sync with your USB stick. Work at home on your home computer, you also synchronizes with Allway Sync. This way you'll USB stick to make sure the files at home and at work remain the same.

Allway Sync has a modified version that you can install directly on your USB stick so you can use it on any computer, even without installation.

There is only one thing wrong with Allway Sync, and that is that it is not useful for Mac. For Mac, there is a paid alternative. ChronoSync basically does the same, but has more options such as scheduling backups. Unfortunately this program is not free, you pay $ 40 for the download.
