Backup files and folders to FTP, online cloud computing (Amazon AWS) and more.
BestSync is a useful backup utility which allows users to synchronize files and folders within Windows. It was previously know as "BestSync Folder Synchronizer."
Using the program is rather easy thanks to the automated wizards which guide you through the process of backing up your data. It allows you to save your backups and syncs to various different places such as external hard drives or folders on another computer connected to the same network. In our case, we used a network hard drive.
The program supports both bidirectional and unidirectional file backup.
Making BestSync even better for the end-user is the fact that it integrates nicely within the Windows Shell which means you can simply right-click in the Windows Explorer to access its functionality.
