GoodSync synchronizes and backs up files such as photos, financial documents, MP3s, and e-mails between desktops, cloud services, servers, and external drives. Its innovative synchronization algorithm offers true bi-directional synchronization, while its peer-to-peer (P2P) connectivity with block level incremental data transfer allows you to enjoy even faster backups – saving you time and increasing productivity.

Goodsync utilizes AES with 256-bit key encryption, with all file blocks chained and random salt is applied.

Supported cloud storage services include:

Google Drive
Amazon Cloud Drive
Amazon S3
OneDrive/Office 365

    Was thinking, this looks interesting, then noticed, no support for box, mega, nextcloud, and owncloud.

      Wow I haven't used some of those in ages.

      Box used to be my favourite (who doesn't love a good box?), I got a few of those 50GB accounts they gave away years ago. But I've gradually been won over by Google Drive now. I got a free upgrade to 120GB (from 20GB) when I got my LG phone and I like it so much I'm actually going to commit a sin around these parts and pay for it when my 2 years expires. Everything in the one place including ~500GB of free photos/videos in Google Photos.

      My useless rant comes to an end now.

    Very useful tool. Got it the last time this was offered.

  • itsfree on 07/05/2018 - 20:36

    P2P sync is very handy for copying large files via LAN. Cheers

    Nice OP. Goodsync would be hard to recommend over FreeFileSync if you were paying for it (unless you needed something it specifically did), but at $0 it's a no brainer. I see the SOS site has Roboform Everywhere for $29(USD presumably) for 5 years, that's pretty awesome too.

    Great deal! I regret buying Goodsync Personal V10 for $30 just a few weeks ago :(

  • vik27kum on 07/05/2018 - 22:24

    A very good find

      You can always use better third party apps like Syncdocs to automate backups to Google Drive. Google only gives you 15GB space for free, though.

    doesnt work on windows server, doh

    i used this a bit back in the day but have since switched over to beyondcompare. $30 for the standard version but can run on linux / mac / windows, can create a portable version and has been my go-to for almost any large file transfer for the past ~5 years.

    still a vote up for goodsync though cos free is always good!

  • chalks1971 on 08/05/2018 - 09:25

    Does this do anything SyncToy doesnt do, or do it better?

    • PainToad on 08/05/2018 - 10:13

      Mac support. When I use Windows, synctoy is my go to.

    On a slightly-related topic, does anyone have recommendations for a CrashPlan replacement? I primarily used it for the PC to PC backup feature. GoodSync can sort of do that, but lacks versioning from what I can see.

    • sarakoth on 08/05/2018 - 10:01

      Well I purchased GoodSync a few years back to replace crashplan after I had issue with them and lost my online archive that would have taken 5 months to re upload. I use it to sync multiple laptops/PCs to a NAS and then to backup the NAS to external drive. Runs on a schedule and I had to pay for it due to the number of files I was transferring. Old story that was a few years ago, there is prob better but I actually like the basic feel and functionality as it is simple, clear and the files are not encrypted or anything so you don't require software to restore your backups or anything like crashplan did.

      • eug on 08/05/2018 - 10:44

        Right, but the problem with not having versioning is that if you get hit by ransomware, experience silent corruption, or need to revert back to a project file from last week, GoodSync can't help you because it would have synced the latest copy which you don't want.

        • sarakoth on 08/05/2018 - 14:02

          Yeah makes sense but then your backups also blow out in size… I have 100K of photos that I don't need versioned every time I make a change, but certainly for some documents it would make sense. I tend to manually version stuff anyway and also have offsite backup that I change every month or so, so as long as you pick it up fairly quick it should be ok.

    • hughc on 09/05/2018 - 09:10

      The P2P feature of the home version Crashplan was unique, and I sorely miss it. With NBN upload speeds, having distributed offsite backups between friends' NAS drives was a possibility, now no longer.

      I ended up with Cloudberry Backup and a Backblaze B2 account; I'm using about 1TB of online storage, and it's costing about $5 p/m. In additional to just about every cloud service under the sun, it can also do local backups via SMB / FTP etc.

  • Click_It on 08/05/2018 - 19:58

    I wanted to love GoodSync but time and time again I found it would change my backup settings and start uploading stuff I previously told it not to. After this kept happening I had to get rid of it.

  • syba on 09/05/2018 - 12:37

    Get the code from the SharewareOnSale website, but instead of downloading their installer, just download the actual file from www.goodsync.com/download (download the GoodSync link, not the GoodSync2Go link).

    • jace88 on 13/05/2018 - 18:37

      Just to echo this - I used the free code in my existing V10 install (after removing my paid licence) and it worked fine.

  • Rumo on 09/05/2018 - 21:53

    It's a dangerous tool. I have installed it on both Windows and Mac, and the Windows version, although set up to back up rather than sync with an iPhone, helpfully started sync'ing instead. It deleted my old photos, which were thankfully recoverable, but what a piece of software.

  • eug on 18/05/2018 - 16:52

    Deal is still available btw, ends in 5 days.
