Choose a Left Folder ( folder in hard disk) and a Right Folder (on USB Drive or network folder)

There are three ways of synchronisation which are

• Synchronize: Two Way Synchronization (left to right as well as right to left).

I regularly update one one folder in my hard drive in my office PC and i wante to work with these folder at my home. I just sync with Sync Toy and carry my USB HDD and it also keeps the data in three places. So no data loss. There are other methods also available like online sync, but that will cost you some $$.
