What is GoodSync?

GoodSync is software for data synchronization and backup purposes. It allows you to sync files and folders between different devices or locations, ensuring up-to-date and consistent data.

GoodSync ensures that folders and all files in synchronizing folders are the same by copying the new or updated files from the folder where they appeared to the folder where they are old or absent and propagating deletions.
