Sync Two Folders
How to make two folders match, and how to check the plan before anything changes.
Sync Folders compares the two panes and builds a plan to make them match. Nothing changes until you apply the plan.
- Open the two folders in the two panes. See Open Folders and Move Around.
- Choose Tools > Sync Folders… from the menu bar.
- Choose a Sync Direction: Mirror L → R, Mirror R → L or Two-Way Merge. L is the left pane and R is the right pane.
- Read the plan. Each row shows what will happen to a file.
- Click Apply.
Resolve every conflict in the plan before you apply it. The app does not apply a plan with a conflict in it.
