Download DirSync Pro 1.47

Version 1.47 of DirSync Pro has been released. One or more folders can be synchronized with this open source program, for example a computer with a smartphone or USB memory stick. This can be both uni- and bi-directional. The program is written in Java and therefore platform independent. Downloads are available for DOS, Linux, OS X and Windows, among others. The changelog for this release can be found below:

Added:

• Option in the settings dialog to start the Schedule Engine automatically upon startup.
• Option to override the read-only attribute in the destination folder when copying/deleting files/dirs.
