Verdict: Good tool for synchronising your files and data, although the free Standard edition only supports files under 1MB in size
There are times when multiple people have access to a folder (or an area) on your network. However, whilst these users might be reading and writing files to this folder, none of them have the same contents on their local hard drive. There are times when you want to mirror the contents between users computers or, perhaps, when a user is working on the road and needs to synchronise data between network and their laptop.
Synchredible is a tool that is designed to perform one task: synchronise files, folders and other data between different folders, wherever they are located. It doesn’t really matter in which direction you want to synchronise, as it can work in both ways. If the data is newer on the remote system, then you can synchronise back to your computer and vice-versa.
Note that the Standard edition is freeware, but is only designed for personal (non-commercial) use. There is a Professional edition designed for commercial synchronisation. The Standard edition will only synchronise files under 1MB in size, so is only really useful for small images, documents and other files.
