    Synchronizing a folder across 2 drives

    I want a way to synchronise a folder between a PC's hard-drive and a USB memory stick. It doesn't have to be automatic, or complicated...

    Is there anything simpler and better than MS Sync Toy for this basic use-case?

    Maybe overkill but i use Handy Backup 6.8 - Data Backup to DVD, CD, FTP, Network, Online. Enterprise Backup Software for all my syncing needs. Keeps my home server synced with my US dedicated boxes via FTP (the only solution i've found that could reliably do the job too!) but does the same thing locally.

          I've not really used it, but have you tried the Windows Briefcase?
          You can create one of those on your USB stick and drag files and folders into it, creating a sync partnership.

            SyncToy is quick and easy. Why do you need something else?

                  Figured something else might be quicker and easier.

                    Whatever happened to the folder replication service that was in NT4?
                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
