About FolderClone
FolderClone is Windows software for automated backup and synchronization of folders. It makes an identical copy of a folder from one drive to another, including between a desktop and a laptop, between a workstation and a server, to an external drive or network attached storage (NAS), or to cloud storage providers such as OneDrive and Google Drive. After setup, it runs in the background, periodically checks the source folder, and updates the target folder with new or changed files. If source files are lost, the program can restore them from the copies in the target folder.
The homepage states that the vendor, Salty Brine Software, has over 25 years of experience and millions of downloads, and that most Fortune 500 companies use the product. These are vendor claims and were not independently verified. The homepage offers a 30-day trial at no cost. It does not state full pricing. Its privacy statement covers personal information collected through visits to the website. It does not describe how files copied to cloud providers are handled.
