The best I've used untill now. Friendly and easy to use. I would however suggest a few tricks to make it more practical: automatic window resizing to full screen or back, having the possibility of viewing the chosen files to update inside a folder in the compare mode etc.

It took a little figuring out since the documentation was pretty much non-existent. However, the product is awesome - very fast and easy to use. Now backing up is a breeze.

FolderMatch works exactly as it is supposed to--what a change. It gives you total control or you can set it to automatic. Your files are quickly backed up, without duplicates and wasted space. It is very fast, easy to use, and worth the money in time/effort saved. Great product. Exactly what I wanted.

I've been using this tool for many years, since it first came out. I can't even begin to put a value on this software. I use it to compare and sync folders, find duplicates, view the difference between files, change date time stamps, rename multiple files, sync my computer clock with an atomic time server, etc...
This software has saved me thousands of dollars in time/productivity since I've had it. Among one of the best, most useful pieces of software I've ever owned - EVER.
Heck, it's in the Microsoft Shareware Hall of Fame. I mean, how can you go wrong with pedigree like that???
