This tool is in my essentials toolbox. I use it for everything, backups, comparing snapshots, comparing git branches, external drives, you name it.

Inspecting file tree differences is key to all of those actions, as far as I am concerned, and FreeFileSync does it best, and is multiplatform to boot.

I've always used Beyond Compare to compare file trees (best $60 I ever spent!) Is there anything FreeFileSync does that Beyond Compare is missing?

Run natively on Linux.

But yes, BC is great too, and it was what I was using before.

BC runs natively on Linux. Or am I missing your point?

It didnt used to, although it worked in Wine. Shows you how long ago I switched.

It's incredible how it turns all those nightmarish actions into zen and pure satisfaction !
