SyncToy is a freeware tool in Microsoft's PowerToys series that provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface for synchronizing files and folders. It is written using Microsoft's .NET framework and uses the Microsoft Sync Framework.
Users initially need to create a “folder pair” that represents the two folders ("left" and "right" folders) to be compared and synchronized. These folders can be on the local drive, on an external device such as a flash drive, or on a network share from another computer. SyncToy supports UNC paths. It provides a Browse option to find the folder or network share, or users can type it in directly. SyncToy offers two safeguards to ensure that the user does not lose files permanently when they are deemed unnecessary during a sync. Firstly, a user can preview what is going to happen when the sync takes place, without actually changing anything; secondly, any deleted files are optionally moved to the Recycle Bin.
SyncToy defines three different types of operation to synchronize two folders:
At the gypsy's eye
When the moon is high
And the mood is right for dancing, romancing
While Michael Wails
in his baggy tails
Makes it all seem so enhancing for dancing
CHORUS:
Oh you're so naughty
Oh with your body
Oh you're so naughty
I wanna get naughty with you
If you want me to
All those fools out there
Could they be aware
I just need someone to come home to
But you are so rare, I don't even care
'Cause I got you to roam with
Could I be dreamin'
Am I with you
My heart is screamin'
Could this be true
Let's keep it goin'
Our love is rare
Let's keep it growin'
