CNET Editors' review
Allway Sync is a free tool that analyzes the contents of two folders simultaneously and updates both based on the latest content. Its bidirectional algorithm analyzes both folders for actual changes and synchronizes both based on your choice. An easy-to-master interface hides an extensive range of settings and options for manually and automatically synchronizing folders. Allway Sync works in 32-bit versions of Windows 2000 to 7; a 64-bit version is available, too.
Allway Sync's colorful interface displays source and destination folders in separate, identical fields. The program can access files and folders on removable drives, online sources, and other locations in addition to your main PC. We were able to schedule multiple synchronization jobs via the Job file menu or the tabbed interface. We could save, edit, rename, and clone jobs as needed. The best way to test a folder-syncing utility is to create a copy of a folder, alter it, and then see what the tool finds. We copied a folder, deleted a few files, and added some others. We clicked Analyze, and Allway Sync quickly returned our results under headings labeled New Files, Unchanged Files, and All Files. Checking the folders revealed synchronized contents. We accessed the program's extensive options, such as the Synchronization Rules. We could set the program to ignore one-hour differences, change the synchronization direction, select for security attributes, and more. We could also configure the Inclusion and Exclusion Filters, File Versioning Policy, and Error Handling; set the Default Profile, change the Event Log's behavior, and define Custom Actions.
Allway Sync also offers skins, interface language options, and an extensive Help menu with both local and online resources, support contacts, usage statistics, and more. For keeping files and folders in step between your desktop and laptop, networked PCs, and other such situations, it's one of the best tools we've tried.

"Pro key is a trap"
Version: Allway Sync 12.1.1
Pros
Simple syncing programme
Easy to installCons
Used the program on a U3 stick for about one year now. Although it can be slow, mainly due to the U3 stick issue at my working place, this is a helpfull program. I purchased the Pro key because of frequent use.
Both increasing size of my syncing files as well as the U3 issue, urged me to start using the syn on a larger USB-type stick. After a few weeks a needed to buy the Pro key again. After contacting the company, it turned out that you only buy a Pro key for a storage type. So in my case only for U3 stick and not for ordinary USB sticks. Feel pretty disappointed on this!!Summary
Never change the storage type you are using the program and pay for it. Allway is not really allway

"Tries to force you to buy premiere edition"
Version: Allway Sync 12.1.1
Pros
Synks for a while
Cons
Stops auto syncing when it wants you to upgrade
Summary
Try something else-not really free

"Waste of time unless you use it just ONCE"
Version: Allway Sync 12.1.1
Pros
Does what you need it to do, does it well
Cons
Ridiculously LOW cap on transfer before required to upgrade to pay version - takes 30 days to drop back to 'normal' otherwise. Then they still track your data usage and return a stupid 'time saved' stat that's supposed to make you WANT to upgrade.
Summary
I would only download and install if you intend to use this ONCE. Otherwise just a single folder with daily sync will kick the limit.
