FolderMatch is a Windows file and folder comparison utility. It can find differences between locations that contain files and folders. Then it can synchronize the contents of these locations. Home users and IT professionals, as well as developers and others, who handle backups, duplicate files and other folders on local and/or remote networks, can use this utility.
FolderMatch also supports many features for synchronizing, finding, and managing duplicate files. In addition to text comparison FolderMatch also offers filtering as well as a lot of features to manage files. There is also FreeFileSync Donation Edition on GetintoWAY by a different developer, which is another very powerful file synchronization utility.
