Moreover, I’ld like to focus your attention on the fact that Synkron has a specific feature for multi-synchronizing three or more folders at the same tome. Then I used the Advanced Menu and I chose to “Move contents to Folder 2, leaving folder 1 empty” and to “Store database in a text file” for my convenience (F1 to F2 deleting F1 contents after synchronization).Īt this point, I opened a second synchronization tab where I selected two folders (F2 to F3 sync) and I also asked Synkron to “Synchronize hidden files and folders” and to “Detect collisions”.Īt this point I had obtained an acceptable solution to my initial task, simply dividing my problem into two separate operations. In my example I determined the two Folders I wanted to sync – F1 & F2) and decided thath both folders had to be considered as Master by the software.
#Synkron reddit portable
Synkron is a multi platform software (Linux, OSX, Windows and portable ) written in C++ that is really flexible for all multitasking synchronization needs.įirst of all, Synkron is multi-tab and this is a winning features because it let you to “slice” any problem (synchronization matter) into simple, easy to solve, tasks. Many times the synchronization was unidirectional and I was not able to run it properly just using grsync still I found one right solution with Synkron. The described scenario is common in the everyday working life and it is conceptually not hard to solve… in theory… When I tried to set up the above described operations using grsync on Fedora and Ubuntu I had big problems to obtain an acceptable result. Moreover, I need to erase the Documents folder F1 as soon as it is synchronized with its mirror F2 in the encrypted volume. This also means that when I am out of the office and I add a file in the online storage host (F4) the document is automatically copied to the client folder of the remote storage hosting and to the folder located in an encrypted volume/partition (F2 and F3). This last folder (F2) automatically synchronize its content with a third folder (F3), located in the same encrypted volume/partition, that is the client folder of a remote storage hosting (F4). In my specific case I need to automate a synchronization between a folder (F1) where I usually save my office files (Documents) with a second folder contained, for security reasons, in an encrypted volume/partition (F2). A good synchronization between files or folders is something you need everyday but it could become a nightmare if you miss something. Sometimes it is really easy, other times you waste your time.
