FreeFileSync is a free and open-source file synchronization and backup utility for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It allows users to compare and synchronize files and folders, either between local drives or to remote locations, making it ideal for keeping backups in sync, maintaining mirror copies across devices, or automating regular data replication tasks. The app features detailed comparison algorithms, customisable sync actions, real-time monitoring, and scheduling capabilities. It appeals to home users and small businesses who need reliable backup and file management without licensing costs.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (arm64) build of FreeFileSync is available and has been confirmed running on M-series Macs. According to the developer, Apple Silicon support was added in version 11.13 and remains fully functional in the latest releases. Users still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version from freefilesync.org, which will automatically provide the native build optimised for M-series Macs. This results in better performance and improved battery efficiency. Settings and sync configurations will carry over without issue during the update.
