| guide | FreeFileSync is an open source software available for Windows, macOS and Linux . FreeFileSync is essentially a folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of all important files. Instead of copying every file every time, FreeFileSync determines the differences between the source and destination folders and transfers only the minimum amount of data needed. |
