BestSync 2010 5.0.54

If you work on multiple platforms, like for example on your desktop computer, on a laptop, and so on, you need to keep all your important data synchronized. And in order to do so, you can take advantage of a powerful yet easy to use application developed by RiseFly Software The application I am talking about weighs in at about 4MB (so the download will complete in no time at all) and is called BestSync.

Some applications ask for money for the functionality they provide – even though that functionality is not something out of this world, nor is it something you couldn’t pull off on your own. It is a dilemma that has me wondering “should I pay for this software application?” There no such dilemma with BestSync. The price is quite affordable; not to mention that you get quite a lot of functionality for your hard earned money.

What can you do with this RiseFly Software-developed application? To put it bluntly, you can keep all your files and folders in sync. BestSync can sync files across local folders, networks drives, FTP servers, and removable storage devices like USB sticks.

From a sync functionality point of view, BestSync comes with several sync solutions:
FTP sync – allows you to upload and download files to a FTP server according to a preset schedule. Only changed files are uploaded or downloaded to the server. It is the kind of functionality that comes in handy in a work environment for example. All the employees have access to the latest files.
File sync – keeps your important files synchronized between your desktop computer and your laptop computer for example. Quite handy if you are constantly on the go and keep switching between your desktop and your laptop computer.
USB sync – keep the files you have stored on your home computer in sync with the files stored on your work computer or on your laptop computer by using an USB storage device.
Mail sync – just as the name suggests, you can keep your mail (Outlook, Windows Mail, Outlook Express) synchronized across platforms.

If you’re going to use the demo version, that’s pretty much all you can do with BestSync. But the functionality the software provides does not stop here. You can also use BestSync to backup your important files to external storage devices, network volumes, FTP servers, and so on. You can also use BestSync to backup your important email messages. All the email messages are encrypted for safe keeping.

BestSync is a powerful, easy to use, and affordable tool to satisfy all your data syncing and backup needs.
