Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without added complexity. SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows XP, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories.

Others use one or more applications to provide this functionality for them. Some users manage files manually, dragging and dropping from one place to another and keeping a mental card catalog in their heads. In some cases it is necessary to get copies of files from one place in other cases there is a need to keep two storage locations exactly in sync. Yet managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual operation. Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives, and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to store and retrieve files. There are new sources of files coming from every direction: digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. The easy to use, customizable application helps you copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers.
