FileStream Sync ToGo for Windows

• Trial limitations mean it can't be properly evaluated

  Pros

  The program has a modern interface that is well laid out and it does not take long to figure out how to set it up to do the first sync task.

  Cons

  The trial version has limitations that were not mentioned on the FileStream website, the main one being you can not transfer more than 100 files in the trial version. This meant I was unable to properly test SyncToGo before I purchased it. Once the trial limits were removed in the purchased version I discovered that in trying to sync files from my Laptop to my desktop PC that it kept wanting to transfer files that were already on my desktop PC, even ones it had transferred itself during a previous sync session. SyncToGo may work for small file transfers, but it did not work for me when trying to sync two PC's with large amounts of data. Filestream also have a policy of no refunds and would not refund the purchase price even though clearly this software did not work for me.

  Summary

  The trial version of SyncToGo has limitations that could prevent you from properly evaluating it before purchase. After purchase, SyncToGo would not correctly sync files between two PC's and several contacts with filestream support did not resolve the issue. While I am sure this software works for other users it did not work for me in my environment and setup. In those circumstances I would have expected Filestream to accept a customer was not happy and give a refund when requested, but they would not, a pity.
