    "A must have application for all backup needs."

    February 3, 2013  |   By PeterComfort

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    I love this application. Its fast, simple to use, does not intrude, uses minimal resources,and provides for an essential need.

    Cons

    I have not encountered any in 5 years of constant use.

    Summary

    A must have application for any user who has need of backup services. Set it and forget it is a well justified claim.

    "It works, but there are some areas that I do not like"

    January 24, 2013  |   By oliveco2001

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    Easy and fast

    Cons

    I have some files deleted (I could recover from other backup tool)
    I am a PRO user. I clicked to update for a new version available. I installed, a after I realized that I need to pay again for the new one !! I cannot return to my previous payed version. This is not fair : it should be informed the user that upgrading implies to pay again for the new version !

    "BADsync is better name"

    January 22, 2013  |   By tycoon187

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    worked good, for a while

    Cons

    unstable, looses connections, open system for sharing with other users (can access personal files)

    Summary

    I had installed on mutiple machines working fine. They started dropping off the direct server one by one until they all failed. Scrambled and randomly delted files. Goodsync idea of support is a 24/7 email that they can be slow to resond to. Calling them is useless if you can find the number. Typical resonses like "is your router UPNP" with no real help. You can get better support if you pay extra. Waste of time and money

    "One of my most used apps!"

    January 18, 2013  |   By bobicard

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    Accurate, reliable, fast, provides both safety net for and portability of computer files.

    Cons

    I can't think of a single weakness.

    Summary

    This is one of my most used and favored apps. Along with a 128GB flash drive, I can keep all my devices up-to-date and even use someone else's computer.

    Updated on Feb 8, 2013

    GoodSync continues to simply do a quality job of keeping my computers synchronized.

    "Didn't work for me"

    January 11, 2013  |   By grands14

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    quick response from support

    Cons

    I couldn't get it set up and I guess I was expecting something out of the software that it wasn't meant to do. I'd hoped to sync my Windows 7 PC with my Windows 8 laptop to no avail, although their support was quick to reply, they weren't able to explain it to my satisfaction and gave me no option to call them.

    "The best thing i could find for syncing PC and Mac"

    January 5, 2013  |   By zuxz

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    Never had any problems with this software and I have tried lots. It syncs as soon as I save a file and keeps my removable drive up to date as I use it to work at home on a PC and at work on a MAC

    Cons

    It is not as fast as some other sync programs Ive used. When on PC only my fav is SyncBackSE from 2Brightsparks - use on multiple computers for no extra cost and blazing fast. But not much out there I could find for syncing between PC and Mac so stuck with this but two versions shyt deal

    "Excellent software that works across platforms"

    December 22, 2012  |   By Fellwalker

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    #Syncs almost anything.
    #Now faster as it has better technology
    #You can omit some files, or groups of files
    #choose directories for a sync, and #choose direction of back up or full sync
    #sort out file date errors when the files are the same

    Cons

    appears daunting, until you get used to it

    Summary

    I have used this for several years, both between PCs on the network, and between drives in my PC, and between my windows 6.5 mobile and my PC. It even works between my camera and my PC, far far easier than any Microsoft or camera manufacturers software. It just works, and saves me all of that copy and paste rubbish.

    "Probably the best backup software in the world!"

    December 16, 2012  |   By RBDamned

    Version: GoodSync 9

    Pros

    Brilliant software, powerful, flexible, reliable, I am so pleased with Goodsync, I can backup as much or as little as I want, to where I want, as often as I want, either automatically or manually. I couldn't be more impressed! This does everything and more I wanted it to!

    Cons

    I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about Goodsync!

    Summary

    If backing up your precious photos, movies and documents is important to you, I would highly recommend Goodsync.
