Freeware Tools: Directory Compare 3.50

Directory Compare is a portable utility to help you keep copies of your important directories (documents, programs under development, etc.) in a backup hard disk or any other storage system as well as in a compressed .zip file. Directory Compare will show you side by side the source and backup directories so that you can easily select the files to by copied (from the source to the target or in both directories) and even delete from both directories auxiliary files. The program has a simple interface that should be easy to figure out, thanks to the intuitive layout and its overall simplicity.

If you often struggle with keeping two locations synchronized, then you might want to install a specialized app. Whether you’re simply trying to compare two different document folders or two directories that hold music (such as one on your portable device and one on the computer), Directory Compare Portable is a great app for the job.

As mentioned, the app can compare multiple directories at the same time. It’s possible to set only one directory, but the program also allows you to choose a larger number of locations, both as “Source” and “Target”.

You may set up multiple filters for files that you want to include or exclude from the scan.

The program can be used to synchronize the two locations or to simply update only the contents of one of the directories.

There are several settings available which enable users to decide how the program should act if there are two files with the same time stamp

Since the app is completely portable, it doesn’t need to be installed to the computer and can be launched from all types of removable devices, including flash drives. Also, it shouldn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

All in all, Directory Compare Portable is a nice tool that can be quite helpful to have installed on the computer. Less experienced individuals shouldn’t have any troubles while working with this app.
