What is FreeFileSync?
FreeFileSync is a robust folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of your important files. Instead of copying every file each time, it determines the differences between a source and a target folder and transfers only the minimum amount of data needed. Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, FreeFileSync offers an Open Source version for Linux, as well as a Donation version that provides additional features. The Donation version's updates are priced based on the amount contributed, with a 20 donation corresponding to one year of updates and a 100 donation to five years of updates
