Although it might be a bit slow and with not much functions, but... what it has to do, it does it well
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Here's an article I wrote - Synchronicity - A Folder Synchronizing Application[^]
It's free, AND you get the source code. Understand that the code hasn't been fully tested, but it's reasonably complete. Feel free to mold it into your own likeness.

Why? I'm not the one looking for file-sync software...

Why not? Maybe you could compare and update your article and code with some new ideas...

I'm not interested in new ideas unless they're mine...

So, why'd you "learn" C# or C++ then? Oh, wait, you were born with that knowledge already implanted...

That makes zero sense...

Impedance mismatch. Our sense's of humor don't match.

BittorrentSync[^]?
It syncs files across multiple devices without clouds...
PS: after recommending it a couple of times I want to tell that I'm not related to this software in any way apart of course of using it...

Been using it for over a year. Works well.

And yet you recommended theother tool.

No, I gave an alternative because it has source code.

Note that it requires you to have either firefox or chrome as your default browser.
That's the only reason I'm not using it.

Possibly in he past? 
I can use it and I don't have Chrome as my default browser... 
|
|
|
|

I installed it a couple of days ago, and it was running nicely in the system tray, but when I tried to do anything with it, it insisted that I install either firefox or chrome, and refused to do anything else.

Surprising... I do have Chrome installed, but I never use it... that's strange...
|
|
|
|
|
Not so strange.
I've got it installed on two machines, and I never use it, either.

 I meant that probably I've not seen the issue you describe as I do have Chrome installed even I don't use it...
I don't understand why that software would depend on a browser to work but...

I recently wrote my own file sync program after searching for something to fit my requirements. It's very basic, all I needed was something to copy files from my pc to an external hdd as a backup. Most of the file sync software available copes with that without a problem, but where they fell short was with renamed files. I renamed a whole lot of video files on my pc and wanted to sync them with the ones on the backup hdd. I couldn't find a free one that did this properly, they wanted to re-copy the files instead of just renaming them, which would have taken a long time for the amount of data.
My app checks the file size and last modified date and uses this to detect renamed files. So far it works pretty well. The other useful feature I built in was that it uses external copy tools for the copying. E.g. Unstoppable Copier or Teracopy. You can also save a list of folders to compare as a job. It can also mirror deletes, so that files you deleted from the source folder on the pc are deleted from the backup hdd as well.
I've been meaning to put it up somewhere so others could have a look and maybe use it if it suits their needs. The biggest problem so far is finding a good name for it. I just called it File Sync  I also need to write a user guide.
Anyway, if anyone would like to have a look and see what it can do it's on my onedrive[^].
Edit: I've uploaded a very basic user guide now. I still want to add a few nice to haves to the program like select all / none for the checkboxes, but it's fully functional as it is.
