FolderMatch won the Shareware Industry Award in the "Best Overall Utility" category in 2002. It provides a really quick and easy way to synchronize files and folders on your computer(s). And there are lots of options for keeping things just the way you want them. I personally use it all the time to keep certain folders on multiple computers up-to-date. Here's an example. Two computers and we'll call them Computer 1 and Computer 2. People work on documents on both computers and each computer has a "My Documents" folder. I want documents written on either computer to be available on both. Using FolderMatch, I have it compare the two My Documents folders. The program shows me the listing for Computer 1 on the left side of the screen, and the list for Computer 2 on the right. This display shows what's the same and what's different.

From there, I can select to have files transfer in both directions .. putting files from Computer 1 on Computer 2 and vice versa. When I'm done, the My Documents folders on both computers have all the same files! Very slick! And FolderMatch can compare files in a variety of ways. The simplest way is to look at the file size and date, but there are also advanced methods that I won't go into here. If you have more than one computer, whether they're desktops or laptops, or both, you can easily keep them synchronized.

FolderMatch, by Salty Brine Software, is both powerful and easy-to-use. And it's wonderful for keeping files and folders in sync. So, if you have more than one computer, check it out! I think you'll find it as useful as I do!
