Open Source File Sync Software

With each web page, device and browser, testing time grows exponentially. From live reloads to URL pushing, form replication to click mirroring, Browsersync cuts out repetitive manual tasks. It’s like an extra pair of hands. Customise an array of sync settings from the UI or command line to create a personalised test environment. Need more control? Browsersync is easily integrated with your web platform, build tools, and other Node.js projects. Built on Node.JS_ENTRY to support Windows, MacOS and Linux. Setup in less than 5 minutes. Browsersync is an open source project available to use under the Apache 2.0 License. Easily integrated with task runners like Grunt and Gulp, or included in other Node projects. Test your website against a slower connection. Even when devices are connected to wifi. Your scroll, click, refresh and form actions are mirrored between browsers while you test.

SparkleShare creates a special folder on your computer. You can add remotely hosted folders (or "projects") to this folder. These projects will be automatically kept in sync with both the host and all of your peers when someone adds, removes or edits a file. SparkleShare was made to cover certain use cases, but doesn't handle every scenario well. SparkleShare uses the version control system Git under the hood, so setting up a host yourself is relatively easy. Using your own host gives you more privacy and control, as well as lots of cheap storage space and higher transfer speeds. The idea of SparkleShare sprouted at the GNOME Usability Hackfest in London, where a couple of designers came to the conclusion that they didn't have a good (Open Source) collaboration tool to share their work.

Synclair is a tool for diff'ing and synchronizing directories. It also includes a utility to find duplicate files (by name, or md5 hash). It is a command line tool, written in Java.

Allowed browser to have live communication without designing a complicated database structure and yet provides flexibilities to the needs.

Upload any kind of junk you want. A simple content collaboration and synching tool featuring Wiki-like versioning of arbitrary files with REST access.

POJOsync is an easy to use Java Framework to synchronize plain old java objects (POJO) with other users.

Patchamama is a binary patch maker/applier that works on directory tree. It can be used in application deployment, large scale project patching (including source and binary data). It use bsdiff for the binary diff job and 7zip for compression.

Designing network protocols by hand is a costly and sometimes troublesome work. This C# library implements a generic network protocol that transports the events object creation, object destruction and the change of a property of one of those objects. It also has facilities to observe the objects for property changes. In sum, the properties of objects that are taken care of by the library are automatically kept in sync. The only requirement to the objects is that they notify the modification of their properties, similiar to what WPF requires from a (typical) view model.

Java Remote Method Call provides a Framework for remote method invocation on Java objects which solves the limitations of Java RMI. It provides a way for bidirectional communication of object states, between Client and Server.

PYBAG implements a portable bag and is intended for fast synchronization and backup. It lets you use a portable digital storage device to carry your electronic documents similar to the way you can use a bag to carry paper documents. You can synchronize the bag with your original files easily. If a synchronization conflict occurs, it will be reported. You can specify rules for automatic conflict resolution. With PYBAG, you can backup files and synchronize any changes made to the original files with the bag. The synchronization process will only copy changed files. The program is cross-platform and independent from the OS and file system. You may easily synchronize files between Windows and Linux, for example. Symbolic links are supported on all systems (if the OS or file system does not support symlinks, then they are emulated). This program has a GUI and a command line interface.
