About FreeFileSync

FreeFileSync is an open source program that compares two folders and brings them into line. It creates and manages backup copies of important files.

What FreeFileSync offers

  • Folder comparison — works out the differences between a source and a target.
  • Efficient transfer — moves only the data needed rather than copying everything again.
  • Parallel operations — groups folders by their root devices and runs several file operations at once where the hardware allows.
  • Business edition — a licensed version for commercial use, with device licences that can be extended and a reseller option.

Who it works with

The free version is aimed at private users at home, while businesses can use the Business edition from version 13 onwards.

Key facts

  • Platforms: Windows, macOS and Linux
  • Licence: open source
  • Version mentioned: 14.12
  • Funding: the project depends on donations and advertising
