SyncToy - Mirror Left Folder

[Guest]

I would like to add a suggestion for the SyncToy development team.
I believe SyncToy is going to be a great utility and I already see myself
using it all the time.

One option I would like to have is to mirror the left folder. What I mean by
that is that not only I want all the features that "Echo" gives, but I also
want to delete all the files and folders that are in the right folder but not
in the left one.
Basically, it would make the right folder exactly the same as the left one.
This would make my life easier since sometimes I reorganize my left folder
and I delete things from it that I don't want anymore...

Thanks a lot for the great product.

You're welcome FS,

You're in good company asking for the "mirror" functionality. We'll keep it
in mind for future releases.

Hi George
I love the look of this tool and wish to use it to replace using Robocopy.
However, I have the same issue as this thread. I want to "mirror" folders
between two computers left to right or right to left. But it does not
recognise deletions of files.
So I would put my vote in for the addition of this "mirror" functionality in
the next release please. I can then use it as a replacement for the robocopy
utility.
Until then sorry cannot use this tool with confidence.

Thanks.

"EIT",

Stick with Robocopy. I come from the other way around, having learned of
Robocopy only after spending way too much time playing with SyncToy trying
to get it to do the simple task of mirroring folders between a PC and
another one as a backup.

Pretty UIs can die as far as I'm concerned, if the core app is busted.

(ask me how I really feel) ;-)
