Frequently Asked Questions

What does Twin Folders use to compare files - date, time, or file size?

Twin Folders checks file date and time. File size and file content are not compared.

What are minimum requirements to run Twin Folders?

There are no minimum requirements; if your computer runs Windows 98/ME/NT4/200x/XP or Vista, then it can execute Twin Folders. If you need to run automated background tasks, then Windows NT, 200x, XP or Vista required.

How do I synchronize files between two computers?

You need network connection between the two computers. You run Twin Folders on first PC, and make a folder shared on the second, so that it is accessible on first PC.

If network is not the case, you can synchronize between two computers using removable media (flash drive, floppy, zip, etc.).

In any case, all work is done in 3 simple steps:

Select the 1st folder;
Select the 2nd folder;
Synchronize!

Can I synchronize to a floppy, zip drive, CD-RW, USB flash drive?

Yes, for example for backup purposes.

Are subfolders processed?

Yes by default, but you can switch it off in (every) task properties.

What if I occasionally select folders that should not be synchronized?

Twin Folders is smart. If it finds that you have selected folders that do not match - it will warn you that you should not synchronize them. If finds an orphan file in a folder that looks older, it will prompt you to delete it. It always shows a conclusion about the two selected folders.

What if the two synchronized computers are using different Windows versions - e.g. Windows 2000 on one and Windows XP on another?

It does not matter. You can synchronize your files between any Windows versions. It is even possible to synchronize files between a Windows-based computer running Twin Folders and a network-connected computer with non-Windows OS (Linux, MacOS, etc.).
