How to move your files

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Originally Easy2Sync for Files was “just” able to synchronize files. By now it has outgrown that small island and has become a feature continent. You can synchronize, copy, move and do lots of other things with your files. Simply create a new task and choose one of the “move” task types:

Move files

Yes, there’s more than one because you can decide if you want to keep the directory structure or move that, too. Perfect for doing a backup of your files! Try Easy2Sync for Files!

How to collect sync tasks (instead of stamps)

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

One might argue if collecting stamps is a useful hobby. Collecting tasks however can be VERY useful. Both Easy2Sync for Outlook and Easy2Sync for Files feature something called “task collection” in the “new” menu:
Sync task

Task collections are special tasks that group several other synchronization tasks. Once the task collection is run (manually or automatically), it starts all the files in the collections. For example, I have a task collection “Backup” that runs all the different backup tasks that I use to back up different parts and projects of my harddisk to a removable medium. One click, one coffee and I can sleep better. 😉

BTW: This feature can be combined with a menu item of the “view” menu. It allows you to hide all the sync jobs that are member of a task collection from the main dialog. A great feature if you have so many sync jobs that it already messes up the main dialog, as it reduces the many synchronization jobs to a few task collections. 😉

Another BTW: You can easily recognize the task collections in the main dialog, as they don’t have an icon to indicate their task type (sync, copy, etc.). Since they can icorporate many task types (sync AND copy) it doesn’t make much sense to display an icon.
If you want you can test the Freeware Edition here.

Beta: Easy2Sync for Files 1.25

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

If synchronizing your files has been too difficult with any software so far, you should try the beta version of Easy2Sync for Files. The “New task” assistant has undergone a major rework to make it very easy to set up a synchronization task.

Especially sharing a folder can be difficult on a Windows PC, but it’s always necessary for a file synchronization. The new release makes this a lot easier by proving a wizard that helps you choose and share the right folder.

How to synchronize your Opera Bookmarks for free

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Opera is a great (free) browser. If you like it, too, you may want to synchronize your bookmarks between different computers. Since Opera stores all bookmarks in a single file, you can easily synchronize that with the Freeware Edition of Easy2Sync for Files. Forever, if you like, as the Freeware Edition doesn’t contian a time limit.

Easy2Sync has a special assistant for task that synchronize just one file:
Sync file

By default Opera’s bookmark file is named opera6.adr and is stored in C:\Program files\Opera\Profile (even though the path may be different on your system). To set up the task just drag the file from the local and the (shared) remote path into this dialog. When synchronzing, please note that Opera modifies the file every time you use a bookmark, so it’s best to synchronize often. 😉

Free file sync

Give it a try with our Freeware Edition of Easy2Sync for Files.

Protect your file sync configuration

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Easy2Sync for Files offers plenty of configuration options. And if you’re the tech guy who did the job of configuration it for somebody else you may want to protect your work against accidental misconfiguration by the user.

Password protection

This can be done easily with Easy2Sync. You can protect the tasks (which contain the file sync information), the options, the service configuration, the start of the sync software or of a sync task. Well, practically everything. And you can display an information message (like “don’t do this yourself, call us instead”) and / or demand a password.

Want to have a test drive? Then try our Freeware Edition. It fully supports the passwords feature.

Trick: Synchronize your Text modules with Easy2Sync

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Our software ReplyButler is able to store (very complex) text modules in form of text module library. Each library equals a file on your harddisk.

Canned texts

If you’re using ReplyButler in a team environment you may know that you can store the library files on a network drive. ReplyButler can handle this and share access between the instances running.

But what if you’re using a laptop that’s not always connected to the network? No problem you can use your Outlook text modules there, too. Simply use Easy2Sync for Files to synchronize the .ClipTextLib files between the computers. If you all of your text module libraries are stored in the same folder on your harddisk (would be a good idea anyway), then even the Freeware Edition of Easy2Sync for Files can do this.

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Synchronize your Files with Version 1.23

Monday, September 10th, 2007

The previous releases of Easy2Sync for Files mostly brought detail changes and bug fixes.

And of course there are some nice new details. You can right-click task collections now to run a single sync task from the collection. And the program helps you specify drive-letter independed USB-paths.

Lots of changes. Want to sync your files? Then get the latest version.

Asynchronous WHAT??

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Yes, Easy2Sync has some special terms, because some very special things can happen during the synchronization (both for file synch and e-mail synch).. Want to know what that means? Simply press F12 (which open the options), and on the first page wait with the mouse cursor over the synch case item you want to know more about. A tooltip with the explanation will appear.
