This is a comparison of commercial software in the field of file synchronization. These programs only provide full functionality with a payment. As indicated, some are trialware and provide functionality during a trial period; some are freemium, meaning that they have freeware editions.
cwRsync is an implementation of rsync for Windows.Rsync uses a file transfer technology specified by the rsync algorithm, transferring only changed chunks of files over the network in a given time. cwRsync can be used for remote file backup and synchronization from/to Windows systems. cwRsync contains Cygwin DLLs and a compiled version of rsync on Cygwin.
zsync is an rsync-like tool optimized for many downloads per file version. zsync is used by Linux distributions such as Ubuntu [38] for distributing fast changing beta ISO image files. zsync uses the HTTP protocol and .zsync files with pre-calculated rolling hash to minimize server load yet permit diff transfer for network optimization.
Rsync requires their correct use. [97] Rclone filters require the use of ** to refer to the contents of a directory. Rsync does not. [98] Eponymous cloud storage service rsync.net provides remote unix filesystems so that customers can run rsync and other standard Unix tools. [99] They also offer rclone only accounts. [100]
Free and open-source software portal; Unison is a file synchronization tool for Windows and various Unix-like systems (including macOS and Linux). [3] It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.

For his PhD dissertation, he co-developed rsync, including the rsync algorithm, a highly efficient file transfer and synchronisation tool. He was also the original author of rzip, which uses a similar algorithm to rsync. He developed spamsum, [clarification needed] based on locality-sensitive hashing algorithms.
BackupPC supports NFS, SSH, SMB and rsync. [5] It can back up Unix-like systems with native ssh and tar or rsync support, such as Linux, BSD, and OS X, as well as Microsoft Windows shares with minimal configuration. [6] On Windows, third party implementations of tar, rsync, and SSH (such as Cygwin) are required to utilize those protocols. [7]
