It syncs fast and it is easy to use. Plus good support! I did once for a feature request. And yes, it was included in the following version! :-) I have been using DirSync Pro for a while and I’m very happy about it. It syncs fast and it is easy to use. Plus good support!

Pathsync
Treecomp
SyncExp
DSynchronize

Two free things that seemed to work better in my tests included:

JFileSync (http://jfilesync.sourceforge.net/)
DirSync Pro (http://directorysync.sourceforge.net/)

May be there are better alternatives :-)

When SyncExp said it's sync, I found using pathsync they are some files were not. I had check all configuration and seems alright. I had tried SyncExp for couple days, but seems that:

I like PathSync, and I'll probably use it from time to time, 'SyncExp' just feels more natural to me, works like my brain does, so I'll keep kicking it around! @ samer

The new version also syncs deletions, moves, renames, etc. Only drawback, IMHO, is the .NET framework requirement. I happily use MS SyncToy.

Yep, really great feature that most of sync tools don’t think\bother to implement. :) One of the main reasons I dropped MS SyncToy was that I had to clean up bunch of empty folders after it.

I see that Treecomp has been updated since the version I have, and now support RAR files as well, so I'll check out the newer version. In any case, thanks for the post! I'll try Pathsync as well.
