From PowerFolder:
PowerFolder is a software to sync, share, backup, and access files. PowerFolder directly connects computers and allows to exchange all kind of data, which you want to sync or share between multiple computers. It automatically detects new or changed files and keeps all your computers in sync. All transfers are encrypted and downloads from multiple sources are supported, also PowerFolder is only transferring the changed part of a file and stores previous file versions in a file archive.
What's new in this version: Version 4.5 has synchronize and shutdown option, improved parallel uploads to other computers is not longer limited to 10, and fixed connection bug with more than 500.000 files on a single folder.

"All support pushes paying them to set it up."
Version: PowerFolder 4.0.3
Pros
The software is not bad. Seems to be rather robust and stable. Pricing is pretty much in line with the industry. Ability to sync or backup or both is beneficial for many clients.
Multiple options for storage site as well.Cons
The documentation appears deliberately vague. Do not expect clear detailed instructions. No phone support. They don't answer the email. Online chat sends you the same vague articles. Then they offer to set it up for you- for a high fee of course.
Summary
If you are pretty good at figuring out these kinds of things and have extra time to do so, this is an okay choice. I don't have time to waste nor the money to pay them $300 to set up a server software far less complicated than most I work with every day. Of course, they already have a chunk of my money for the software so I have to waste the time to figure out what most companies tell you in their setup pdf's.

"Can only sync over network, not locally with external drive."

"Limited uses"
Version: PowerFolder 2.0.2
Pros
Of course it's free. It does sinchronize and transfer files and it works as adversed
Cons
Now-a-days with every home having a home network it is unheard of to not support mapped folders. This application does not support mapped folders. In addtion to not supporting mapped drives empty folders are bypassed. So... if have a your files on a mapped location and want to sinchronize to another phisical location this program is not for you.
