FreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization tool. It supports filters, file sizes greater than 4GB, delete-before-copy for large sync operations, and creation of batch files for automated synchronization. After compare process (by date or content) operations can be customized on a file-by-file basis.

FreeFileSync Portable is in PortableApps.com Format, automatically adjusting paths.

Notes:

  • The latest version of this program is adware (offers for installation of 3rd party software), may not be open source, and locks itself to a specific path (only the drive letter may change), but a more recent version of this program (v7.9) can be made portable. Note that the update check will run whenever the runtime path changes even if you disable it.
  • FreeFileSync versions 6.3 and later can not be run from a portable menu or scheduling software due to a unfixed bug in the app.

@wagner reatto: SyncFolders has been suggested at the Forum (see https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22039) where software garners more attention and testing. É só uma dica aqui do sítio... ;)

I liked this utility very much, but it stopped being portable to non-donors (being a donor in Brazil is complicated for many reasons). I looked for other similar utilities. Here I found fastcopy, I found it interesting. I had the happiness of finding SyncFolders, which is also portable. You can find it here http://www.syncfolders.elementfx.com. I think portablefreeware.com could add it here.

Error: "Cannot open file (...)\install.dat"

Same here, and you can't just create a dummy "install.dat" - you'll get a file read error then.

rogerthedodger: No idea what you’re talking about. Please post in forums.

So we have denigrated to personal insults now. Thanks I am Baas, appreciate your help. At least someone fixed it.

v7.9

Rogerthedodger: Thanks for the notice. I've updated the entry. Please try again and post in forums if it's not working.

v7.8

@rogerthementallydisabledodger - The instructions above worked when I checked them a couple weeks ago. I don't think that's changed. The PortableApps.com version is purposely older as it's the last version that isn't broken: https://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/discussion/open-discussion/thread/d09ab0d6/

v7.8
