Synchronize It! review
A Windows folder-sync utility with comparison previews and unattended runs for a one-time fee.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Synchronize It! is a Windows desktop utility for comparing and synchronizing files across local folders, archives, and FTP sites. It is aimed at people who want to review folder differences before copying, keep locations aligned, or work with older project archives. Its comparison view is central to the workflow: users can inspect differences, then select a predefined action such as Synchronize, Update, Backup, or Duplicate.
The feature set extends beyond basic folder copying. Synchronize It! can compare and synchronize with archives and FTP sites, filter files and folders using masks, and save synchronization settings as sessions and projects. Comparison results can also be published as HTML reports. Command-line switches support unattended synchronization, making the utility relevant for repeat jobs that do not need to be started manually each time. Its scope remains focused on file comparison and synchronization rather than a broader cloud storage or collaboration environment.
The published Personal license costs $19 as a one-time payment. It includes free e-mail technical support and one year of free minor and major updates; the product has no free plan. That pricing may suit solo users or small operations seeking a paid desktop tool without a recurring subscription, while the Windows-only platform limits its fit for mixed operating-system environments. Choose Synchronize It! if previewing differences, working with archives or FTP, and running command-line syncs match your workflow. Consider another option if you need a tool for platforms beyond Windows or a free tier.
