Buggy as Hell! I just lost several hours of work when I used SyncTwoFolders for protection from accidental loss. It not only created damaged, unopenable copies on the other disk, but managed to corrupt the original files as well, rendering them unopenable. Thank you very much for the freebie

Hi, I'm the developer. I'm really really surprise of what you write. Did you use it with system files? SyncTwoFolders is not made for system files, but for documents files. And I don't know how it can corrupt file as it simply copy them as you do yourself when drag and drop a file in the Finder to another folder. Or maybe did you use the package manage, but you've to know what you're doing.<br>

Anyway, I use it for a long time and many people does too, and I never had those kind of report.

I think you don't understood the function of this freeware, it's impossible to make such errors as you explain without a lot of errors when programming the source and destination, and you have a "simulation" function if you aren't sure of what you make.

I agree with those who spoke in favour of this program. I have been using it for ages now on a very regular basis to sync my document folder with a backup on another SATA drive, and it does the job flawlessly, in seconds. I can't imagine what the OP who got such bad results was trying to copy, or what settings he was using, but he certainly can't have been trying to copy regular files like you'd find in a documents folder.
