Changes performed by GoodSync can be transferred to other computers/devices. Example: You can synchronize files between computers A and B which are not connected to each other, by synchronizing Computer A to a USB disk, and then syncing USB disk to computer B.
Time Shifts Are Detected And Fixed
When modification time of number of files is different by the same whole number of hours, GoodSync can correct file modification time without copying the file.
FTP File Modification Time Sync
GoodSync uses MDTM FTP command (where available) to get/set precise file modification time.
File Mod Time Translation For Non-Preserving File Systems
For file systems that do not preserve file modification time when copying, GoodSync implements a novel time translation technique that make mod time appear to be preserved by copy action.

Key Features (Enterprise)
Mass Install
The GoodSync installer can be silent or otherwise controlled using command line options. This allows you to use mass install software to silently install GoodSync on employee workstations.
Automatically Sync on Logon and Logoff
Using the "Auto Sync on Windows Logon and Logoff" setting, you can setup your employee files to be locally available on every computer, yet always be current on a centralized company server:

  • On Logon GoodSync syncs company server to the local computer, thus downloading updated files from the server to the client.

  • On Logoff GoodSync automatically syncs local computer to the company server, thus uploading changed local files to the server.
Environment Variables in Folder Paths
Using environment variable such as %USERNAME% in folder paths of the sync job allows you to setup one set of jobs that would work for all employees. For example, you can set-up a job that syncs "%USERPROFILE%" to "\\NETSHARE\BACKUPS\%USERNAME%" once every day and then copies jobs.tic file (list of jobs) to all employees GoodSync profile. Using the above settings sets up an environment where every employee has an automatic backup job that syncs their profile to the backup server.

A sync job can be created and started using the GoodSync command line. This allows you to easily call GoodSync from batch files as well as any other program. Also GoodSync can be easily run from the Windows Task Scheduler; you can program the Task Scheduler directly from GoodSync Options -> Auto dialog.
Job Templates
Job Templates allow you to pre-program the most popular jobs used by the company, requiring minimal input from the user of simply specifying the backup/sync folder location. Since employees may have difficulty establishing advanced features such as file exclusions correctly, using Job Templates increases the ease of use for your employees.
