All that’s required is that the computers be available on the same network. I do this with the computers physically networked through a common router, but that’s not required. And, as already alluded to, SyncToy also transfers customized extension preferences. Further - and this is really important - SyncToy retains the style/format/appearance/location of the “source” bookmarks on the target. SyncToy’s “Echo” action transfers entries from source to target that don’t currently exist on the target updates older existing entries on the target and deletes entries on the target that aren’t on the source. I transfer this entry to the equivalent location on the target computer using SyncToy 2.1’s “Echo” action. If you inspect the properties of this entry, it should have hundreds of sub-directories (folders) and thousands of files. Where C:\ is the drive where Brave is installed and ***** is your user name. Search your computer for an entry similar to:Ĭ:\Users*****\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\ If these consequences aren’t deal-breakers for you, bravely onward. SyncToy brings with it two consequences either of which might be deal-breakers for others: first, some (but not all) Brave preferences are restored to their defaults and second, extensions must be re-installed. Whenever a file is changed, its file modification time is also updated. It should be selected when synchronizing files with a backup location.

Compare price, features, and reviews of the software side-by-side to make the best choice for your business. Compare by File time and size This variant considers two files equal when both modification time and file size match.
#Freefilesync and duplicates free#
With Windows-7 installations, I use Microsoft’s free SyncToy 2.1 application: FreeFileSync using this comparison chart.
Also also, it only applies to bookmarks, not to e.g. In other posts, I’ve compared Brave’s implementation of Sync to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s broom going out for another bucket of water: no control over it, and once it starts, you need a Sorcerer to stop it. Further, I’ve found it fails to retain how and where a bookmark is stored in one instance when transferring it to another instance. Instead, it appears to transfer bookmarks between Brave/Sync-enabled installations ignoring whether the new instance of a bookmark duplicates existing entries. It fails to recognize a “source” and a “target”. Brave’s implementation of Sync is … suboptimal.
