Allway Sync is a free software that helps to sync files between Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3SkyDrive, local hard drive, Flash Drive, etc. Not only desktop to cloud, you can sync files from a cloud storage service to another cloud storage service. For example, Google Drive files present in a folder can be synchronized with Dropbox; and vice-versa. One way (source to destination or destination to source) and bi-directional syncing is possible with this software.

To start sync process, you need to create a job (or task), add source and destination directories, and then you can start synchronization in any direction.

Now to perform a sync process, following steps are required:

Step 1: Select source folder. It could be anything. Folder present in your hard drive or your cloud storage account’s folder. If you have selected an online storage folder, then you need to authorize Allway Sync to connect with your account, so that sync can be done. For example, if Google Drive is selected as source synchronization path, then you need to use Configuration button to sign in to your Google Drive, allow Allway Sync access to your Drive, and select source folder for sync.

Step 2: Now you can select destination folder, process is quite similar as mentioned in first step. Either select Flash drive path, your hard disk, or any supported online storage.

Step 3: In this step, you need to select synchronization direction. Source to direction, all-way (bi-directional), or destination to source.

Step 4: Once all these steps are done, you can start analysis of both folders to find out differences, using Analyze button. This will show which files are missing in which direction. Analysis is also helpful to change sync direction for any particular item.
