take a look at this thread:

You'll see why Andrew decided not to add it.

brewabel,
Thanks for that. Before I posted I searched for "allwaysync" - I think, which is why I missed that detailed explanation.
I'll widen my searches before I venture another suggestion.

Richard.

Now I'm getting a little confused .....

This wasn't added to the database because

i) There were some install & operational issues
ii) Quote "I also found out that it requires IE 5.5 or later to be installed. A sync app depends on browser version? Come on. A Win2K machine might not have IE 5.5 installed, that's for sure."

Yet in another forum, there debate over whether browsers that rely on IE should be allowed !! And the consensus is yes ! Bring on the Java Apps I say !!! (Another do we / dont we issue !)

Yet more food for thought on the whole 'what should be allowed" debate.

In terms of the sync package itself...I use SyncExp myself & had no problems

Allway Sync (backup utility)

#19 Post by Midas »

I was quite surprised to find no mention of Allway Sync (https://allwaysync.com/) here at TPFC, as it was one of the first remotely portable programs I started using way back in pre-history... ;)

Well Allway Sync is still in active development and sports a PAF version, so here's a post about it.

I'm very surprised as well. I think I've seen mention of that program several times over the years and didn't think to dig in because I was sure we'd already gone into it.

Thanks for that.

Turns out I didn't run a thorough search and this program has been discussed at some length over time. I've since merged the various threads.

Anyway, the recent updates include OneDrive, Azure, Google Cloud, and S3 storage capabilities: https://allwaysync.com/news so definitely some nice changes since I first saw it.

Softpedia is reporting it as a demo (https://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE- ... n-Go.shtml) but the site seems to indicate it's free for personal use: https://allwaysync.com/license

Sidenote: I'm curious why the U3-enabled program is still available as that format is long dead: https://allwaysync.com/download/
