Syncless 2.1

Syncless 2.1

Quote:
What makes Syncless so unique is the way synchronization is performed. The current paradigm in the way file synchronization is done is to create a job by setting folder pairs and then start synchronizing. Syncless does away with this completely by introducing the concept of folder tagging.

The concept of tagging has been applied by notable applications in various interesting ways. Facebook allows users to tag people into photos and almost all blog engines allows users to tag posts as a form of categorization. The main reason behind the increased use of tagging is because tagging is a very natural thought process that everyone does when trying to associate words or concepts with the unfamiliar.

By applying this simple and natural idea to file synchronization, users will be able to synchronize folders by simply tagging different folders with the same tag, resulting in a near seamless experience in synchronization. A group of folders with the same tag will always be kept in sync automatically in real-time by Syncless, without any need for user intervention.

In addition to the ability to simply tag your folders, Syncless provides the following:

1. Synchronization of multiple folders
Tag any number of folders under the same tag, and they will all be kept in sync, unlike most products on the market, which can only handle 2-way synchronization

2. Real-time synchronization (Seamless mode)
All folders under the same tag will be kept in sync, without any interference from you

3. Sync across multiple computers
Plug in your thumb drive, and watch your files and tags get synchronized!

4. Configuration of tags
Configure each tag to filter the kinds of files to include or exclude
- download attachment
- rename the extension to zip
- extract it to a folder
- run SynclessUI.exe direct
- to uninstall, just delete the folder.

cheers ...
