SyncToy 2.1 Available for Download

  • Artikel

SyncToy 2.1 has just been released to the Microsoft Download center. SyncToy 2.1 is a free application that synchronizes files and folders between locations. Typical uses include sharing files, such as photos, with other computers and creating backup copies of files and folders.

SyncToy2.1 is powered by the latest synchronization engine from Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 and provides better performance and robustness. The new features and improvements included in SyncToy 2.1 release are:

  • Better Performance: The speed of file copy operations is significantly increased across the board.
  • Improved Robustness: Much more resilient to transient network and file system errors, and better error reporting that pinpoints which file the sync failed on in case there’s a fatal error that stops the sync.
  • Folder pair configuration backup: Folder pair configuration is automatically backed up under %localappdata%\microsoft\synctoy\2.0. You can replace SyncTopDirPairs.bin with the backup copy to resolve the last saved configuration.
  • Bug Fixes:

o Fixed the data corruption issue when using SyncToy with NAS drives.

o Fixed the bug that prevented uploading files to SharePoint when using SyncToy 2.0.

o Fixed the bug that prevented delete changes from being synchronized when the sync option was set to “Echo”.

SyncToy 2.1 is now available for download from: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C26EFA36-98E0-4EE9-A7C5-98D0592D8C52&displaylang=en.

    Is their some reason to why the download isn't working? I am getting the following error: Unable to download ...ncToySetupPackage_v21_x86.exe from download.microsoft.com Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. M.Ahrens (IE8, Win7)

    I am under impression that this version works slower than 2.0 both for generating preview and when applying proposed modifications (x64 version on Vista x64 SP2 when processing 70GB folder pair between rather fast Seagate USB external drive and AMD RAID0 of two fast WD 640GB disks). But I did not measure. During "Preview" most of the time is spent here (according to profiler): Current function Function Name Inclusive Samples Exclusive Samples Inclusive Samples % Exclusive Samples % CFileChangeWriter::SaveChange(enum __MIDL___MIDL_itf_synchronization_0000_0000_0001,struct ISaveChangeContext *,struct ISyncChange *,struct IFileDataRetriever *) 9 898 9 74.10 0.07

    Does SyncToy support syncing 3 sources? Like the following use case: a folder on PC1 at work sync with portable hard drive also use the portable hard drive to sync a folder on PC2 at home, so that PC1 and PC2 are in sync (because otherwise it's difficult to keep PC1 and PC2 in sync)

    Hi, does Synctoy use similar machanisms like DFS to synch only differences in blocks? Is there any compression or just plain copy? Thank you very much in advance for a short answer. Peter
