It aims to provide users with an efficient and reliable way to keep their files in sync across different storage locations, ensuring data consistency and integrity. ## Official Website The official website of FreeFileSync is https://freefilesync.org . You can visit the website to get the latest information about the project, download the latest version of the software, and access additional resources such as documentation, tutorials, and community support. ## Synchronize Files and Folders Key featuresFreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of all your important files. Instead of copying every file every time, FreeFileSync determines the differences between a source and a target folder and transfers only the minimum amount of data needed. FreeFileSync is Open Source software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. ## Features - **Cross-Platform Compatibility**: FreeFileSync-Source is designed to work seamlessly on multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. This allows users to synchronize files between different platforms without any hassle. - **Flexible Synchronization Modes**: It offers various synchronization modes to meet different user needs. Whether you want to perform a one-way sync, two-way sync, or mirror sync, FreeFileSync-Source has got you covered. - **User-Friendly Interface**: The project comes with an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that makes it simple for users to configure synchronization tasks, set up schedules, and monitor the progress of file transfers. - **Advanced Filtering Options**: You can define specific rules and filters to include or exclude certain files or directories from the synchronization process. This gives you fine-grained control over what gets synced and what doesn't. - **Incremental Sync**: FreeFileSync-Source uses incremental synchronization techniques to minimize data transfer and reduce the time required for syncing. Only the changes made since the last sync are transferred, saving bandwidth and improving performance. ## Installation ### Prerequisites - [List any necessary software or libraries that need to be installed before using FreeFileSync-Source, e.g., a specific version of a compiler or a runtime environment.] ### Steps 1. **Download the Source Code**: You can download the source code of FreeFileSync-Source from the official repository [provide the repository link here]. 2. **Compile the Code**: - Navigate to the downloaded source code directory. - Follow the compilation instructions provided in the `README` or `INSTALL` file included in the source code.
