Microsoft® SyncToy download
SyncToy is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps simplify the task of the copying, moving, and
synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
Perfect for synchronizing files between your computer and your Aegis
Portable Hard Drive.
