Hi gang,
I have two computers I do most of my work on and one main Jump drive (sandisk cruzer) I lug with me to make changes to folders whenever the need arises.

how can i synchronise the contents on all of three of them while preserving the most updated files in each.

ie some files on my desktop at work have updated files, while some files on my notebook at home have different files that are more recently updated. and then some things on the cruzer are most updated.

the problem iwth microsoft copy and paste is that it wants to replace newer files with older ones (it prompts you first) but isnt there a way to tell it to keep the most recent copy of each folder?

Microsoft SyncToy v1.4 (freeware) [microsoft.com]

thanks does it work. it sounds like it does more than what i need. have u tried it and do u recommend it.

ps does the cruzersync tool work to do what I want it to?

Yes, it does work, and Yes, it can do more than what you need it for, and Yes, I have tried MS's SyncTool (I use it every day) and I do recommend it.

Sorry, I haven't tried Sandisk's Cruzersync.
