eSync.NET is a free software that is used for syncing folders or directories of one computer, or multiple computers (if connected with each other). You can even sync removable drives folders such as pen drives, CD drive with your hard drives folders. You can synchronize folders (containing files) by providing input and output directories and can compare them. If any changes or modifications will come during comparison, then it will detect those changes and will update both directories.
Moreover with eSync.NET, you can perform more specific synchronization. That means you can add only selected file extensions such as txt, doc, jpg, audio or video file extensions for syncing files of added folders. This way it will be more easy for you to synchronize files and folders. And you can even save the whole work (as a job) in form of (*.syncjob) as a backup which you can use later. eSync.NET is available free of cost for Windows.
How To Work With eSync.NET For Syncing Folders?
Working with this software is an easy task and you can sync folders using four main options: Paths, Settings, Compare, and Sync.

- Settings: This is one of the main option of eSync.NET. Using settings option, you can add specific extensions for comparing and syncing files. Moreover, you can also choose the desired action from available actions in case source or destination file is missing. For example, if there is source file missing, but that file is available in destination path, then you can select the option of ‘Create source’. By doing this, same file will be available in source and destination folder after synchronization.
- Compare: This is an easy option to use. Clicking on Compare button will let you compare source and destination folders. Comparison is done very quickly and after comparing files, it will show you files that are different (highlighting in red color). See the below screenshot.
- Sync: This is the last and essential step you need to perform. Hit the Sync button and your files will be synchronized easily and quickly.
