The Outlook & Sync blog

Originally Easy2Sync for Files was “just” able to synchronize files. By now it has outgrown that small island and has become a feature continent. You can synchronize, copy, move and do lots of other things with your files. Simply create a new task and choose one of the “move” task types:

Yes, there’s more than one because you can decide if you want to keep the directory structure or move that, too. Perfect for doing a backup of your files! Try Easy2Sync for Files!

One might argue if collecting stamps is a useful hobby. Collecting tasks however can be VERY useful. Both Easy2Sync for Outlook and Easy2Sync for Files feature something called “task collection” in the “new” menu:

Task collections are special tasks that group several other synchronization tasks. Once the task collection is run (manually or automatically), it starts all the files in the collections. For example, I have a task collection “Backup” that runs all the different backup tasks that I use to back up different parts and projects of my harddisk to a removable medium. One click, one coffee and I can sleep better. 😉

BTW: This feature can be combined with a menu item of the “view” menu. It allows you to hide all the sync jobs that are member of a task collection from the main dialog. A great feature if you have so many sync jobs that it already messes up the main dialog, as it reduces the many synchronization jobs to a few task collections. 😉

Another BTW: You can easily recognize the task collections in the main dialog, as they don’t have an icon to indicate their task type (sync, copy, etc.). Since they can icorporate many task types (sync AND copy) it doesn’t make much sense to display an icon.
If you want you can test the Freeware Edition here.

Another release of Easy2Sync for Outlook is out, always the update is free for registered customers. (Even if you’re the one who bought the first copy of version 1.00 – Thank you by the way 😉

The new release has 3 major changes:

• It’s faster
• It supports moving e-mails
• It supports merging folder

In the new few blogs I’ll show you the details about these new task types, what you can do with them and how to handle them.

To get an idea, what Easy2Sync is all about please try the Freeware Edition.

If synchronizing your files has been too difficult with any software so far, you should try the beta version of Easy2Sync for Files. The “New task” assistant has undergone a major rework to make it very easy to set up a synchronization task.

Especially sharing a folder can be difficult on a Windows PC, but it’s always necessary for a file synchronization. The new release makes this a lot easier by proving a wizard that helps you choose and share the right folder.

If you want to have a look at the latest version, visit the Easy2Sync for Files Homepage.

The next release of Easy2Sync for Files will feature a new Wizard to make setting up a new task much easier.

Here’s a small appetizer of how it will look like:

The new version will be released soon, if you don’t want to wait with your file synch projects, you can try the Freeware Edition of the current version right now: Easy2Sync for Files.

Opera is a great (free) browser. If you like it, too, you may want to synchronize your bookmarks between different computers. Since Opera stores all bookmarks in a single file, you can easily synchronize that with the Freeware Edition of Easy2Sync for Files. Forever, if you like, as the Freeware Edition doesn’t contian a time limit.

Easy2Sync has a special assistant for task that synchronize just one file:

By default Opera’s bookmark file is named opera6.adr and is stored in C:\Program files\Opera\Profile (even though the path may be different on your system). To set up the task just drag the file from the local and the (shared) remote path into this dialog. When synchronzing, please note that Opera modifies the file every time you use a bookmark, so it’s best to synchronize often. 😉

Give it a try with our Freeware Edition of Easy2Sync for Files.

In the next release, Easy2Sync for Outlook will contain 2 new task types. Can’t give you the details yet 😉 but the new types are variations of the classic “copy” type. Here’s how it will look like:

If you want, you can try the copy task type in the Freeware Edition right now.

Easy2Sync for Files offers plenty of configuration options. And if you’re the tech guy who did the job of configuration it for somebody else you may want to protect your work against accidental misconfiguration by the user.

This can be done easily with Easy2Sync. You can protect the tasks (which contain the file sync information), the options, the service configuration, the start of the sync software or of a sync task. Well, practically everything. And you can display an information message (like “don’t do this yourself, call us instead”) and / or demand a password.

Want to have a test drive? Then try our Freeware Edition. It fully supports the passwords feature.

Our software ReplyButler is able to store (very complex) text modules in form of text module library. Each library equals a file on your harddisk.

If you’re using ReplyButler in a team environment you may know that you can store the library files on a network drive. ReplyButler can handle this and share access between the instances running.

But what if you’re using a laptop that’s not always connected to the network? No problem you can use your Outlook text modules there, too. Simply use Easy2Sync for Files to synchronize the .ClipTextLib files between the computers. If you all of your text module libraries are stored in the same folder on your harddisk (would be a good idea anyway), then even the Freeware Edition of Easy2Sync for Files can do this.

Happy Birthday, Easy2Sync for Outlook got another release older. 😉

The new version brings a new feature, that you may already know from Easy2Sync for Files. If you’re synchronizing a PST files that’s stored on an USB drive then the drive letter can become a problem. Will can change the drive letter for device when you re-plug it.

Because the sync of an USB device is an important issue we’ve added support for this long ago. But specifying the right parameters wasn’t really easy. We changed that. Now simply enter the path. Easy2Sync for Outlook will recognize the USB status and suggest the right things.

Give it a try and synchronize your Outlook e-mails.

Outlook supports a “private” flag for contacts, calendar items and other items. Depending on your situation you might want to synchronize only private or non-private items. Or both?

No matter which combination you want, Easy2Sync for Outlook supports it. You can simply decide (for each object type indepently) if you want to synchronize or not. Transfer non-private contacts? Or only the private calendar items? Anything goes.

Another release of Easy2Sync for Files. No new features this time, just some fixes. If you had problems with synchronizing FTP websites or if the task properties took their sweet time appearing on your screen, then the new release is just for you.

Go to the download page.

The previous releases of Easy2Sync for Files mostly brought detail changes and bug fixes.

Not this one.

This time, there are some really big changes in Easy2Sync for Files. One of the most obvious is the new confirmation assistant. Whenever Easy2Sync wants a confirmation before synchronizing a file it is displayed. And we totally reworked it to make it nicer and clearer:

Furthermore the program helps you setting up your synchronization tasks and suggests often used paths for that.

And of course there are some nice new details. You can right-click task collections now to run a single sync task from the collection. And the program helps you specify drive-letter independed USB-paths.

Lots of changes. Want to sync your files? Then get the latest version.

Our product Easy2Sync for Outlook is great for synchronizing Outlook data on PC, like contact data stored. But it’s not able to make a backup of cell phone data.

To close this gap, we have a new partner: Synkia

Their service allows it to make backups of your cell phone data (like phone number lists) and even to transfer this data to your new mobile phone.

The changes in the recent versions have mostly been details. In the next release, Easy2Sync will contain some bigger changes. One is the new request dialog which will display the facts clearer.

And nicer. 🙂

The new version isn’t available online yet, but if want to synchronize your files, please try the current version.
