Microsoft has released SyncToy 2.0 beta. Like its predecessor, SyncToy 2.0 is a free download that lets you synchronize files across multiple folders and/or computers.But there are a few new features under the hood:
- Dynamic drive letter assignment: change a drive letter and SyncToy will automatically pick up on the change
- SyncToy now detects and synchronizes folder deletions, renamings, and creation
- Exclude files based on names
- Filter by file attributes like read-only, system, or hidden
- Sync encrypted files
- Rename folder pairs

Paulo, I had the same problem but disabling Zone Alarm (firewall) during the install fixed it.

DAMN... I have been waiting for them to update it hoping they would add features like:
-allowing it to be run in the background
-not have to be logged in
-not requiring a password on the user account

Hi Nick,
You may know this, but you can run it in the background -- do a search for command line options on Synctoy.
I use Windows scheduler to run it when I'm not logged on; but it does require a password for the user account.
Hope that helps!
