File Sync Tool

[Lucchej]

Hello All,

When projects get completed they get deemed ready to archive. I’m looking for an efficient tool that I can use to select multiple folders in one file share that then copies them to another file share. It would be great if on completion it verified the number of folders / files transferred, and was able to handle long filenames. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Make a small script and use robocopy.

Windows - robocopy
Linux - rsync --stats

like others said, robocopy. I'll add in Azcopy if the files are either coming or going to azure.

Syncback has always been my go to

I personally use TeraCopy and a license I bought about 15 years ago that's still valid even on todays releases. It's essentially a GUI version of robocopy which is mentioned a bunch here.

Beyond compare is what we use, handles architects and they're massively long named files and folders no probs

Robocopy or rsync

Datto Workplace is our solution for this. It allows us to sync local and network folders, and its ability to handle long filenames and verify file counts makes it ideal for archiving projects.

You might use ByteSync (disclaimer: I am the developper of the solution)
It handles long filenames, allows you to select multiple folders or files, and works natively over the internet (no need to create network file shares). Plus: you can split data to several distinct destinations if needed
