Synkron is a simple Qt application that allows you to sync files and folders to all your devices. It can be used to sync documents, music and pictures everywhere. It supports almost all platforms such as GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
Its a simple GUI tool comes with many interesting features. It allows you to sync multiple folders, analyze folders to see what is going to be done. Also it allows you to exclude certain folders from sync that you don’t want and you can restore the files which were overwritten or deleted in previous syncs.
