If you want, for example, a certain folder to be synced every night you can write a script and put a call of WinSCP with this script into the Windows task scheduler to automate syncing

#Automatic folder sync software update

A features to 'Keep remote directory up to date' which will do real-time comparison between your local folder and a remote folder and make sure to update the remote if anything changes locally.

Syncing over LAN is certainly possible by using the other computer as host.

I am not sure whether syncing of local folders would be possible, never tried it because Windows has built-in checking of timestamps anyway, but I think it should be possible by just setting somehow connecting to 'localhost'.

It runs on Windows and can communicate via FTP and SCP so linux and mac systems can also be approached.

You can very easily log in to any ftp server and do the syncing.

All files that are different will be highlighted (and selected so can immediately be copied)

You can compare the currently viewed local and remote folder by hitting Shift-F2.

You can simply 'GET' and 'PUT' by dragging and dropping files/folders from the local to the remote and vice versa.

As you can see you can set how to compare and in which directions(s) to sync as well as get a preview of the changes to avoid car wrecks. By defaults it will suggest syncing of the currently selected folders, but you can adjust it to your needs if you happen to be in the wrong folder.

When you are connected and hit ctrl-S a sync window pops up which looks as shown below.

It has a simple GUI that allows you to manage the sync.

Let me go one by one on the options that you listed: In its basic usage WinSCP feels just like a regular FTP client, but it has a lot more options than just getting and putting files.

I have been using it for several years now, syncing (parts of) my computer at home with my computer at work and a series of websites.

Sync includes capability to sync local or LAN folders too.

Should be able to run on windows but could sync on Linux too.

Quick comparison of directory to be sync'd.

Ability to 'GET' as well as 'PUT' files to server (directional sync).

Should sync the folder currently clicked on and not always see the sync as a whole folder as a sync task.

Graphical application to manage the sync.

Gui would be better but then I'd like to see all the options available. Is there any good tool for syncing files between computers? They can be any of the win,mac,linux platforms. While some only allowed me to sync the whole project (which would be always slow), very few tools I think sync folders and not the whole project. I tried a number of freeware/paid apps which claim to do this but most of them were either bad interfaced or took eternity to analyze the folders. But I still miss the sync feature that Dreamweaver gave me.

Now with the licensing terms of Adobe being changed, I am no longer in a condition to use the software and moved on. Also the tree view comparison of Dreamweaver allowed me to sync only a particular folder if I wanted to. I was using Dreamweaver till now for doing all the sync work and it was pretty good and extremely fast in determining if a file was changed or not. Under 'My Drive syncing options,' select Stream files or Mirror files.I am a programmer and my file types usually deal with text and images and sometimes other files like sound files and executables.Configure My Drive for streaming or mirroring

You can stream or mirror My Drive, depending on your preferences. Additionally, files from shared drives, other computers, and backed-up USB devices can only be streamed. While you can choose whether to mirror or stream your My Drive files, other folders on your device can only be mirrored. Learn more about streaming behavior with macOS. Important: Recent versions of macOS may have a slightly different streaming behavior.

You can access files through a mounted drive on your computer. All files, including those available offline, can be accessed only when the app is running.

Files that are not available offline can only be accessed when you’re connected to the internet. Hard drive space is only used when you open files or make them available offline. With streaming, your files are stored in the cloud. You can access files through a folder on your computer. You can access your files at any time, even when you don’t have an internet connection or the Drive for desktop app running. With mirroring, your files are stored in the cloud and on your computer, which takes up hard drive space. In both cases, any changes you make to your files on one device will be reflected everywhere. Mirroring and streaming are two ways to sync your files.
