I'm looking for a file synchronization utility. Currently I'm using SyncToy, which works well most of the time. But on large large folders it get awkwardly slow.

There should be a file share (NAS) and multiple computers synchronize with it. Like a Windows Server.

So this are my requirements:

  • Should be reliable
  • Support of large files (~ 5GB)
  • Support of many files (~200.000)
  • Scheduleable background synchronization
  • File Share (NAS) support
  • Deletion support
  • No server required
  • Must work on windows. Linux and Mac support would be nice.

Could someone point me to a tool?

good pointers in this discussion, although your question is not targeted for backup, we do use rsync for synchronization, although initial setup is little bit of work: Why hasn't rsync caught on in the Windows world?

Have you tried Richcopy, one of the latest incarnation of xcopy from Microsoft?

There is robocopy that comes with windows which does a good job then other one I have used is called Unison and it works on all platforms. The one nice thing you can do with this is set it up so it will automatically sync files that get updated. It can only do it between two locations but have a read though the doco and it will explain better than I can what its limitations is.
