For those who were wondering whether GoodSync would work with other devices or servers. GoodSync does offer the same smooth functionality for FTPs, Amazon S3, WebDAV and also Windows Mobile. See screenshot below:

Did I mention our music transfer test went smoothly? After synchronising for us GoodSync also gave us a quick report, this is what I found useful. Especially if you plan on synchronising anything important, you would want to know which files or folders its missed out.

So in a short summary here are what we thought were the good points and the bad points:

Pros:

  • Good simple user interface
  • Runs smoothly, no instability issues
  • Only a tiny bit of your system memory resource will be required
  • Has some very useful features such as analysis, easy customisation for specified jobs
  • Supports multiple types of files sources and destinations such as FTPs, Amazon S3, WebDAV and also Windows Mobile
  • A reliable tool for those who need to sync priceless pictures, files and data

Cons:

  • None! No issues were identified
  • Some past reviews commented that “some configuration menus are quite heavy, with loads of text explaining each option” (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=5941), but we felt this has been much improved on the latest release which we tested
  • Unfortunately, no support for Macs

We weren’t asked to give a rating, however if we needed to, GoodSync would easily deserve a rating of 5/5 from us. So if you’re looking for a software that’s reliable for transferring, synchronising and backing up important files across different devices or servers, no matter what type of files, we would definitely recommend you try out GoodSync.

Though it isn’t free, the download is just 1.05Mb and supports Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, you can test out its 30-day trial with no limitations or restrictions, click here to find out more via GoodSync…

    Here's another positive GoodSync Review that focuses on the Amazon S3 functionality.
  • Now I admit that I don't know too much about the GoodSync software but I do know one thing:

    I absolutely love the RoboForm software. I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I wrote a Report about a lot of RoboForm’s capabilities for use that aren’t even touched on in the User’s Manual for RoboForm. You can get that Report here:

    There is also a FREE version of RoboForm that you can download on this web page, just to test the RoboForm software out for yourself! I highly recommend it!
