GoodSync Reviews & Product Details

I like that GoodSync offers a very wide range of features for file synchronization and backup while remaining relatively easy to set up. It integrates well with many storage providers, works reliably in the background, and once configured, it requires almost no manual intervention. For regular use, it feels stable and gives confidence that data is safe. Additionaly every time I need a support there is nor problem with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Missing the option to sync from one source to multiple targets and also lacking advanced tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoodSync is a great way to sync your files to the Cloud from an AWS bucket, Azure, M365, SharePoint, OneDrive, or Backblaze. This product can do almost everything and is easy to implement and use. I use it to run hot folders for sync to various locations, from the on-site server to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, the only thing I would like to see in the product is that it runs as a service. If that is not there, I have not seen it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been able to rely on Goodsync to either backup or synchronize our servers for over 10 years now. The tool runs itself once any exceptions are setup and schedules set. One less thing to worry about in my busy day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a downside, but it does seem to have an update available to install at least 1-2 times per week. We always wonder why the tool is being updated so often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using GoodSync for over a decade, and it has never let me down. The software does exactly what it promises every single time. From updating and backing up local drives to handling online backups, it works seamlessly. One of the things I value most is its ability to run flawlessly across multiple systems—no hiccups, no missed files, no stress.

If you’re looking for reliable, worry-free backup and synchronization, GoodSync is the gold standard. After ten years of daily use, I can confidently say it’s one of the most dependable tools I’ve ever invested in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have anything negative to say about the features we use and I don’t use the other features so cannot speak to any dislikes I may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working for an MSP, I have to distribute USB drives and external drives to my team containing all of our troubleshooting tools. Having them centrally located on a server then using good sink to create quick identical copies of these discs is fantastic. I love that I only have to update the files in the server then have my users simply reconnect their drives for them to be automatically updated. Truly a huge timesaver Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see a centralized "Team Account" where my team can log into a central portal on any computer and synchronize their drives against the centralized fileserver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Goodsync is a great "set it and forget it" program to make sure data is transferred properly. We use it weekly for our work and it's super helpful. There are very few errors. Customer support is usually helpful and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some complications with setting up the "jobs," understanding the settings and how to get the software to do what you want. Integration feels like it has a steep learning curve; I think the program would benefit from a bit of a step by step to set up the job. It can also be a bit confusing to troubleshoot if something isn't working the way you'd like it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful component of GoodSync is the ability to blacklist specific file or folder names. This is invaluable when working with projects that contain 1000s of files from package managers such as NPM. The installation and initial setup is easy. The ability to control when syncing will happen is great as I sometimes have different needs for different folders on my device. I use GoodSync daily in my job and it has become an invaluable tool.

In my 3 years of using GoodSync, so far I haven't encountered any major issues. When syncing large changes, it can often take long, but that isn't GoodSync's fault as I sync to a OneDrive cloud and I believe it has limits on how many requests can be made in a short amount of time.

The ability to filter what files / folders get synched up to my cloud backup

The large array of options including running scripts on sync jobs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Goodsync can be tricky to setup - for example, the default does a "recycle bin" type approach to synching your files which creates rather large system file in your folder Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup and understand. I trust it to help me keep my files synced between the cloud and my computer without accidentally deleting the wrong files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can think of is that the interface is a little busy. It lists all the possible file locations from local drives to cloud storage that I'm not even using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company uses GoodSync to automatically sync files from our sales team out in the field back to our office. Once it's configured, it's pretty much set it and forget it. It works great as long as our users have a good internet connection. They simply drag files into a pre-set folder on their laptops and take comfort in knowing that those files will reach us quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On a rare occasion, if a user's internet connection isn't great, or if they power off their laptop in the middle of a background syncing task, the files uploaded can possibly be corrupted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
