CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 04, 2009
Thanks to this program's step-by-step tips, managing your files and folders is as simple as a few clicks of your mouse. GoodSync successfully synchronized important files between folders on our computer, as well as on our USB device.
To a novice, the user interface might appear a bit overwhelming; however, step-by-step pop-up windows will quickly guide you through navigating the program. All we had to do was browse for the two folders that we wanted to synchronize. We were even able to browse for files on external devices, including a USB thumb drive. The program quickly analyzed our folders and displayed their contents into two separate panels. We were able to pick out the specific files to include in the synchronization and, using the Sync feature, we synced the folders so that they each contained the same files. We were able to view all of the changes, as well as any conflicts or errors. You can apply filters using the Program Options menu.
The program doesn't include a built-in help feature, but it does feature an online manual and FAQ through the publisher's Web site, and the 30-day trial is more than enough time to find your bearings. We highly recommend this file synchronization tool for all user levels.

Version: GoodSync 7.9
Pros: Goodsync Demo seems to work fine with simple sync of work station to a backup destination. Demo version also worked on windows server 2003,
Screen designs are some of the best I have seen on sync software.Cons: working with the Goodsync Demo on Windows 2003 server pulling data from other remote servers. Sync is working ok on transfering the data, I had issues with Autostart not starting jobs and the syncing of folder security settings not coming accross.
Summary: I did purchase the Pro version only to find out it does not work at all on a server, unlike other sync programs I have used. I am in the process of trying to get a refund or a credit towards the purchase of the server license.
