The Basics
The basic idea behind Allway Sync is pretty simple. You start off with two folders you want to have at the same state. This can be two folders on the same computer, on two different computers or one folder on a computer and one on a server.
Before synchronizing you can have the program present you with a pane showing differences between the two folders. There you can change synchronization settings (like the direction) for files individually, or mark files for the software to skip when synchronizing. Once you are done you simply hit ‘Synchronize’ and Allway Sync will do the rest.
Scheduling
One thing Allway Sync really shines at is scheduling. You get more options than you are ever likely to use. You can have your data synchronized periodically or manually or a mixture of both, for instance.
File Versioning
Now this is something I really love about this tool. Instead of only deleting older version of files, you can tell the program what to do with those outdated versions. You can, for instance, have older versions be saved into an archive folder. In my opinion this feature can be a real life saver.
Verdict
Allway Sync is very fast and very easy to deal with. While being simple in its basic use, there is more options than you will most likely ever shake your stick at. If you use a tool that synchronizes your data automatically and securely between different locations, if you expect the tool to be easy to use while giving you the option to set up special rules for certain items; then this is definitely for you.
