Upon first launching GoodSync Pro, you're presented with a welcome screen that prompts you to create a backup or synchronization job.
It also doesn't back up to cloud storage, as with other options, such as MiMedia (3.5 stars, starting at $5 per month) and the Editors' Choice award-winning backup solution SOS Online Backup Home Edition 4.7.4 (starting at $9.95 per month). GoodSync is a decent backup solution, but the single computer installation limitation may not sit well in multi-PC households that don't want to shell out additional money for extra licenses. GoodSync Pro even provides real-time monitoring, and its automatic mode enables it to run without user intervention. The $29.95 program (available as a digital download) lets users sync photos, music, videos, and other data between devices, and back up entire hard drives. Recently, the company has expanded its sync-and-backup offerings with a solid Mac OS X version.
Siber Systems, makers of the well-known RoboForm utility, have also been in the folder syncing game since 2006, with its GoodSync utility.
