Synchronizing files and folders can be an excruciating process for people who need to transfer many files from one place to another within their computers. Synchredible offers an alternative to spending countless minutes copying, clicking, and dragging files into new locations, and it has a great deal of success.

This free download look a little intimidating at first with its very sparse display, but it's easily mastered. Select two files or folders from the file tree drop-down and you are on your way. Synchredible keeps you on pace by telling you where you are in the seven-step process at every screen. After selecting the information, and choosing in which direction it will flow, you can organize a filter, set a scheduler, and more. These steps are intuitive and make sense right away. The most important step is the final one, however, because it gives users the opportunity to sync only unique files, which prevents duplicates from being created.

From there, the files trade information. Users are given a readout of how many files transferred, any warnings, and how long the process took.

Overall, Synchredible is a fantastic product that works smoothly. The only rough patch came when we attempted to browse the Help menu and nothing happened. For users who don't find Synchredible intuitive, this could be a problem. However, we had such a smooth run synchronizing our files that we still highly recommend this freeware.

Sync Time: Win8 = 380 seconds. Synctoy = 8 seconds
overhand1February 5, 2014
Pros
Inexpensive, functions on win 8.1
Cons
S L O W - kinda like molasses - regardless of connection speed.
Summary
- An XP PC w/ SyncToy 2.1 checked 2,500 files & sync'd in approx. 8 seconds while a Win 8 PC w/ this Synchredible checked the same 2,500 files & sync'd, as necessary, in approx. 320 seconds. - The 2,500 Files that were sync'd are located on a HP Mediasmart LX195 network drive w/ Windows Home Server. - Total sync'd files for both sync programs = approx 2,500. - Win 8.1 core i5 lap top has 3.5 - 6.5 MIPS wireless connection. XP PC has Homeplug LAN with 6-9.5 MIPS Homeplug wired connection.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 5, 2014<p/>Update: Compare synchronization time to review 2,500 files & sync that have Zero (0) changes: Synchredible = exactly 430 seconds! YUCK. Synctoy 2.1 = exactly 16 seconds...HOORAY! somebody got it right!
Not worth the constant obnoxious popup
zzdkimOctober 17, 2012
Pros
Good backup software
Cons
Constant obnoxious popup to upgrade to paid version
Summary
This product is one of many free backup / file sync software so I am not sure why they decided to drive people away with constant pop ups. I switched to Cobian backup based on previous reviewer's comments and everything is working fine.
I found another NO nag Synch program
DavidQ762September 10, 2012
Pros
It does do the job it was intended to do.
Cons
The number of steps it takes to set up the backup. As well as the [well publicized] nag screen.
Summary
Recently spent quite a while searching for a program like this. And even tried Synchredible for a bit of time. There is a much more user friendly and truly free program available - Create Synchronicity. Have been using it for about two weeks now and I'm pleased with the results. And to me that's what counts - the end results.
Great software
gdflpJuly 14, 2012
Pros
Good File Transfer Reliable Fast Lots of options
Cons
Doesn't show why warnings occurred
Summary
Great Software
Works great but nag screens highly annoying
LGMMarch 6, 2012
Pros
Fast, full featured, functional
Cons
Nag screens pop up in the middle of jobs and make you press a button to proceed. Very irritating.
Summary
I was reluctant to rate this product this low, as the backup functions work great. But the nag screens that pop up and make you click a button to proceed are extremely annoying. This makes this product unsuitable for automated unattended backups. If they didn't market this as "free" it would be a different matter. But because of the nag screens it's not really free. I gave this up because I didn't like the nag screens. If you're looking for a backup program that has as many or more features, consider Cobian which I am now using. Doesn't have a great interface but it offers a ton of options and is truly 100% free.
Excellent free sync software
AmyHarperFebruary 3, 2012
Pros
Free for private purposes Very fast syncing Easy to use interface
Cons
Nag screen from time to time
Summary
Tested lots of sync programs and I like this one most. It is so easy to use and it is very fast!
Unusable "Free" mode is nagware
LocobladeJanuary 28, 2012
Pros
Syncs OK but doesnt do anything out of the ordinary
Cons
After a couple of days I started getting a huge popup window saying for private use only and in order to use it for commercial purposes order the pro version, implying that I was using it illegally. This comes up several times in the space of about 15 minutes and needs a mouse click to clear it so the app is completely useless as an unobtrusive sync app running in the background. Im not sure if this nag is triggered by the amount/size of files synced (Im syncing folders with about 80gb of videos and photos) or if everyone gets it regardless, but this software plainly isn't as advertised, Im a private user and nowhere does it say that private use is limited or you'll be hounded by obtrusive nag screens until you buy the pro version (or uninstall it like I'll be doing).
Summary
Useless in "free" mode. Avoid
Fast but Not free
MartinCVJanuary 2, 2012
Pros
It is superfast compared with goodsync (but goodsync is unbearably slow).
Cons
They say it is free but the keep constantly annoying you with pop-ups for the pro version to eliminate the pop-up. I mean it shows up seeveral times a day with no easy Alt-w or anything to close it). If they had said so before installing programming and using it I would asses if I wanted it or not. Now I'm uninstalling and trying Allway Sync free (with limitations stated and buy it if is good. It includes immediate sync which Synchredible doesn't)
Summary
Good product, does the job with minimal maintenance
bhakta_dasaMay 5, 2011
Pros
Fast, efficient, easy to install, once set up requires almost no thinking
Cons
A little hard to set up the files you want to back up the first time
Summary
I like the program and recommend it
Does not work
ChrisAllen CNETNovember 26, 2010
Pros
Easy User Interface
Cons
Doesn't actually work. I pointed this at a folder as source, and another as destination, and let it run several times. It never added source folders that were not present in the destination. That's sort of the point, isn't it?
Summary
Does not do the basic job it's intended for. This is on Win 7.
