What is the most common task that you use Explorer, or another file management utility for?
 

Isn't it true that over 90% of the time you are copying files from one directory to another? FolderMatch eases this tedious task.  The contents of both folders are shown side-by-side.  Files are compared for differences in size, date and time, contents, version stamp, or Cyclical Redundancy Checking (CRC) value.  Differences are shown with colorful icons.  The two folders can then be synchronized with a simple button click. What could be easier than this?

Who can benefit from FolderMatch?

Anyone who performs repetitious tasks with folders and files can benefit from FolderMatch.  For certain groups of people this can be an indispensable tool.

Do you work on your files at home and at the office?  Are you a frequent business traveler?
With users working at home, on the road or in the office, it's hard to keep all of the PCs current with the latest files and data.  Documents, databases,  spreadsheets, sales and contact information all can get changed several times a day.  How is the work coordinated on all of the various PCs, making sure that all systems contain the most recent versions of all of the files? FolderMatch is a tool that solves this problem.

Are you a computer professional:  a Programmer, Tester, Trainer, Network Administrator, or Support Technician?
If so, this utility is a MUST.   No more painful inspections for missing files when setting up directories or applying file updates.  Creating and comparing test/development folders, applying new program updates/patches, these become more carefully controlled processes by greatly decreasing the risk of human error.
