    Question File/Folder syncing in Win7x64

    What do people use? I used SyncToy and GoodSync in Vista. As there anything better for Win7?

    I've not tried it in 7 yet but in vista telling it to encrypt the offline files is a recipe for hurt. It works brilliantly if you switch off the encryption of the offline files though.

    Offline Files is fabulous in Win7 (never really checked it out in previous versions of Windows), and it works particularly well with a laptop/server/wireless network setup.

    If you have a use for this sort of thing, this one feature alone is reason enough IMO for choosing Win7 Professional over HP.

    I use Synctoy in Win 7 to sync up device partitions to my internal backup drive. Works well and can be scheduled.
