FreeFileSync is a free and open-source program used for file synchronization. It is available on Windows, Linux and macOS. The project is backed by donations. Donors get access to a Donation Edition that contains a few additional features such as an auto-updater, parallel sync, portable version, and silent installation.[1] FreeFileSync has received positive reviews.[2][3]

FreeFileSync works by comparing one or multiple folders on their content, date or file size and subsequently synchronizing the content according to user-defined settings. In addition to supporting local file systems and network shares, FreeFileSync is able to sync to Google Drive, FTP, FTPS, SFTP and MTP devices.

Adware/Malware

Earlier versions were packaged with OpenCandy,[4][5] an adware module which many antivirus software vendors classify as malware.[6][7][8][9]

Since the release of version 10.0 in April 2018, the software is ad-free.[10] In November 2018 Norton wrongly considered FreeFileSync installer as a malware and blocked its installation.[11]

Supported OS

FreeFileSync is available for 32bit and 64bit operating systems. As of June 2021 the then current version 11.11 of FreeFileSync supported the following operating systems and versions:[12]

  • Windows 10 down to Windows 7.
  • macOS 11.0 "Big Sur" down to Mac OS X 10.10 "Yosemite".
  • On Linux, many well-known distributions are supported. The website cites Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Manjaro, Mint, openSUSE and Ubuntu.

Older operating systems

Support for Windows Vista and XP ended with FreeFileSync_v10.11. The latest release compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.5 is FreeFileSync_8.4_Mac_OS_X. Older versions are still available on the project website.[13]
