What is SyncSharp?

SyncSharp is a free synchronization tool written in .NET C# that synchronizes files between multiple computers through a USB device. Moreover, it does not require installation and it is easy to use.

Why use SyncSharp?

Here are the benefits of using SyncSharp:

• Clean: SyncSharp does not save any extra files in your sync folders. All meta-data files and profiles are kept in one centralized location. No installation required. No dependencies (No need to install additional components). No admin rights are required to run our application. Takes up minimal disk space. It requires less space than a typical digital photo (i.e., less than 0.5Mb).

• Automated: SyncSharp will help you to synchronize all folder pairs automatically when the USB device is plugged in. No extra steps are required!

• Fast: Our synchronization algorithm will be able to detect files deletion, renames, creation and modification accurately. SyncSharp performs sync actions efficiently by reducing unnecessary copy or delete actions.

• Free: No restrictions (you can use it on any number of computers to synchronize any number of files). Free for both commercial and non-commercial use. Open source.

Scalability

Our team has used our program to synchronize over 1 million files at a go. Synchronization was completed successfully.
