Mainly it provides three features named folder comparison, synchronization, and copy. It also provides split interface so that you can compare the content of each folder side by side.

Plus, transfer content from left folder to right or vice versa is also possible. File Synchronizer is basically a free file synchronizing software for Windows. It is a very simple software with limited features. Interface of this software is divided into two parts which are used to compare the content of the folders side by side.

You can add two folders at a time for comparison. One folder is added to the left side, while other one is added to right side of interface.

After the comparison, it provides all the non-identical content of each folder on their respective sides of interface. But, one major problem with this software is that it does not show the common content between the added folders. Still, it does show the number of common content. Real bidirectional synchronization. Tracking deletions, additions, changes in synchronized folders. Convenient Preview mode. Change the operation with files before sync, if required. The ability to automatically connect network folders before synchronization.

Using this mode, you can always restore deleted files, even if folders have synchronized several times. The main difference from the similar apps on the App Store: - Real bidirectional synchronization. Ability to choose a "Line by Line" comparison app on the "Settings" tab. If you actually intended to write the most complicated UI you could, you'd be hard-pressed to beat this.

I don't know how the one person could write "this is pretty straightforward" It's not at all straighforward, and I'm a software develper. The fields are complicated, screen views are re-used like if you choose "Settings" from the main app menu, instead of bringing up a panel, it replaces your window contents with settings, and then you have to figure out how to get back to your window contents!

OMG, get this app away from me! I am using the app to make certain that folders such as Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, etc. The ability to copy to an external drive, without worry about removing deleted files, is a great plus in this endeavor. It assures that I always have all of my files on the external drive, and allows for making room on the internal drive without worry.
