I'm currently using Synchtoy to sycnhronise my documents folder between my
laptop and desktop. I'm wondering whether this is as good or better than,
using either Briefcase or Off-line files.
What are other peoples' observations and experience with this?

Thanks

I use BeInSync. I don't know how it compares, because it is the only one
that I have used, but it certainly works. I learned about BeInSync searching
PCMagazine's site under utility software.

Some of the others that I looked at like GoToMyPC have such expensive
subscription agreements that I didn't even consider them. BeInSync has a
30-day free trial of its Pro version, after which you can by that version -
I think $80 for 1 year, $120 for 2, and $150 for a lifetime (which is what I
got). If you don't subscribe to Pro, you can continue to use the Basic
version, but that limits synching to 10 files/day.

The only drawback that I have found is a little difficulting navigating
their site (circuituous) and their instruction manual seem to only include
how to do things in the first place rather with very little about how to
solve problems. But they have a VERY responsive free email support option,
so I've been okay. (At least free for subscribers)

Good luck
