Another good thing about this feature is that now I can see which files it will be synchronising for me, I can easily right click on a file or folder on the left and tell it to exclude synchronisation for those if I had regrets. As oppose to some softwares which go ahead and sync automatically, you often end up finding out that files you didn’t want to get transferred got transferred anyway.

So now that I’ve just clicked on Sync, let’s see how much more system resource it’s using up:

Surprisingly it’s just taken a tiny fraction more.

I guess now is a good time to recap and show you what I’ve just done using an example instruction taken from GoodSync:

In addition GoodSync isn’t just for synchronising and backuping files from two computers. A key part of GoodSync’s value is the options that you can use to control when items are synced. For USB flashdrive / key users, the option of having a sync start whenever a key is inserted is a must have. The periodic scheduling down to a one-minute sync is also very useful.

Check out the instructions below:

In my opinion this is my favourite feature, not only because I loose USB flashdrives all the time, this feature will ensure that I have my lost files right where I want them as long as I have plugged it in for a sync recently.

GoodSync also gives you a simple check box option whether or not you want to propagate deletions across a sync pair. That is, if a file is deleted from one side of the sync, it’s up to the user (in the options) to choose whether or not the file should be deleted on the other side.
