Is there a way to keep 2 folders syncronized?

[Argo]

I'm tired of having to check for files to copy every time I go on a business trip.

I want to syncronize "My Documents" folder both on the laptop and desktop. Is there any way to do this in XP?

Didn't they used to have My Briefcase or something like that for automatic windows synchronization?

yea a windows briefcase should do the trick. linkage

Haven't used Windows briefcase since the Win9x days, but it didn't work so well then. Often it would get confused and nerf files, or refuse to synchronize, or something.

i think there's software called DirSync which does a similar thing. my friend swears upon it. it's shareware though, i think.

Yeah. Briefcases were uncool back then. Havn't touched them since.

I think you'll need Cygwin, too.

just use syncback

Windows XP has an offline files feature builtin that is generally sufficient for most users. For those who need a bit of extra power and features, try Second Copy 2000.

I use a program called allsync its cheap and works very well. I use it to keep a File server in another state synced with a file server here in Boulder.
