File Synchronization
File synchronization ( also called File Mirroring, or File Replication or File Sync ) Automatically synchronizes files between two folders which may be separated in two drives or even in two computers.
For years, you have experienced days when you have to copy your files or documents which have been changed, and then paste them into the other disks for backup, or the home computer for continuing your unfinished works. This is really bad experience, for although it seems to be routine task, you have to repeat the monotonous and tedious works every day, every hour, even less. It's indeed inconvenient, sometimes there are so many files you have changed in this case that you will make mistakes and forget to copy all changed files. The common but important task really makes you annoyed so that you have to find a way to get rid of it.File Synchronization will work for you here.
Key Features of a File Synchronization Software :
- It allows you to automate the file synchronization process by giving the option to synchronize regularly at a scheduled time of day or whenever a particular system type action occurs (eg. when a Flash / USB drive is placed or during system start up). Including (or excluding) the folders and files that you wish to sync are also suppoted by many File Synchronization Softwares like goodsync.
- It allows to synchronize files located on a FTP,hard drive, network, removable drive,, SFTP, WebDAV, or Amazon S3. GoodSync can synchronize files locally, through a network, or through the internet.
- It must be available for your operating system that can be Windows,Linux or Mac.
- It must ensures complete accuracy and protects against data loss.
- It must be able to synchronize huge number of files as sometimes some of us have big files data with us

Real Time File Synchronization Applications
| 1.) |
Suppose your company, you and your colleagues need to share files for collaboration work. Your computer can connect to the company network, as well as your colleagues, so you can sign up for a shared file sync account, and select to synchronize the shared file stored in the network. When someone else on the network made changed to the same file, you can update your latest version of the files. By contraries, others also can update the latest version of the files once you make changes, too. |

Generally, you are using different folders, drivers, and even different computers, such as a laptop and a desktop, to store and retrieve files. Normally, you manually manage files, dragging and dropping or copying and pasting from one place to another. Now, you may use file synchronization for keeping the up-to-date versions of the files the same on all your machines. |
You can think of file synchronization in any ways.. As a means of keeping your files update on all your machines, and as insurance for your data with external hard drive, and as keeping copied of the files you're working on with a flash memory drive, or as shared files for sharing with other. However, whatever you want to do with file synchronization, one thing is certain: you will get rid of your trouble by copying and pasting the important files again and again.
