Hello.
I wanted to synchronise my Documents folder with my USB pen(s). The Vista Sync Centre application is useless for this. It couldn't locate my pen drive
and was only offering to sync music, not files/ folders.
I found this great app called Sync Toy 2.1, link below, which is available as a free download via microsoft.

That's fine, especially since it's free - it's not as if you're advertising a commercial product.agibsonsw wrote:(I hope it's not inappropriate to recommend a nice app?)

Re: Great Sync Tool
Karen's Replicator meets all my synchronizing needs, and doesn't need .Net (which I think the Sync Tool does). Has anybody compared these two?

Re: Great Sync Tool
I did try using Sync Toy, but it failed when files are in SharePoint, so could not actually synchronize half my data.
The response I received from the SyncToy maintainers was:
The response I received from the SyncToy maintainers was:
This was in 2008 and we haven't had a release that works with SharePoint yet.To those of you who are syncing to Sharepoint - we know we have a problem and will be fixing it in our next release. And I am afraid there is no workaround available to sync upto the sharepoint server.
