  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: It does sync. easy-to-understand interface

  Weaknesses: Scheduled run of batch file won't actually sync the files. It runs, notes which files to sync, but won't actually sync them

  Overall Evaluation: FreeFileSync is a much better option if a scheduled sync is desired. Runs reliably via the Scheduler

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Simplicity

  Weaknesses: Can be slow at first

  Overall Evaluation: I'm revising my first review. While the app did get hung up on seemingly nonsensical things and literally stay there for 20 minutes (multiple times), it ultimately delivered. I run it several times a day, backing up local drive to external HD. Seems to work well now. The initial cross matching took about 6 hours--far longer than a simple copy from one drive to another.
