• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  Rsync can be used to synchronize a local disk to the pCloud drive p. Works similarly as the Sync option of the pCloud Drive app. May be useful if one prefers a bulk upload once a day over a continuous synchronization. Source: 5 months ago

• Use rsync to Sync a Node Project to Dropbox and Ignore the node modules Folder

  To overcome this issue, you can use rsync, a powerful command-line tool for synchronizing files and directories, along with a bash script that excludes the node_modules folder and also filter out anything in a .gitignore file that you specify. In this article, I'll guide you through the process of setting up and using this bash script to sync your Node.js project while ignoring the node_modules folder. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• i have seen a video about syncthing and I am interested, but I would have a slightly different use case

  Rsync will probably work better for this use case. Source: 12 months ago

• Is ultracopier still the very best in terms of open source alternative file copying/merging tool ?

  I used robocopy on a slow network to transfer many gigabyte of data; properly configured with retries and everything worked great. Don't know about your merge needs, so take a look into it and do some tests before actually running it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is copying the best way to transfer large amounts of files?

  If you're copying a ton of files that vary in size, using a command prompt robocopy with the multi-thread parameter can make it so you are copying multiple files simultaneously and max out the bandwidth of whatever connection you're using (usb, SATA, ethernet, etc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Game data to new PC

  This would probably work well. Oblivion mod managers edit load order by modifying dates on the files, and I'm not sure if dragging-and-dropping would keep that info. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating file servers - Robocopy syntax question

  Yes, /mir also deletes files and directories that have been deleted from the source. Here's a list of the switches. Source: over 1 year ago

• Robocopy Hell - Copy data without NTFS permissions

  My friend you helped me big time. I was able to test more and the U flag on /COPY was the culprit here. Which isn't a huge deal for me so using /COPY:DAT worked great. Turns out this is the default switching for /COPY anyway according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy. Source: over 1 year ago
