Overview

What is RoboSync?

RoboSync (RoboCopyGUI) wraps the Windows command-line tool Robocopy in a WPF desktop interface so non-technical users can run copy, mirror, move and sync jobs without learning Robocopy's switches. It shows a live preview of the exact Robocopy command before running it, then tracks progress with current file, byte counts, elapsed time and ETA, and writes timestamped logs to screen and disk.

Read the full overview

Jobs can be saved and reloaded as JSON configuration files, and advanced options cover retry counts, multithreading, pattern-based filtering and dry-run mode, with pause/resume, cancel and restart controls during a run. It targets Windows 10/11 and is built on .NET 8.

Why teams use it

Key capabilities

  • Job types: Copy, mirror, move and sync operations built on Robocopy.
  • Command preview: See the exact Robocopy command before it runs.
  • Progress and logs: Real-time progress (file, bytes, ETA) with timestamped logs saved to disk.
  • Saved jobs: Reusable job configurations stored as JSON, with pause/resume and cancel controls.
Core areas

Local and network folder copy, mirror, move and sync via Robocopy define the scope; it is not a cloud backup or versioning tool.

Positioning

Use RoboSync when a team needs repeatable Robocopy jobs (e.g. folder mirrors or scheduled syncs) without hand-writing command-line switches. Compare it with a full backup product if you need versioned restores, encryption or off-site targets - Robocopy itself has none of that.

Why it matters

Run a mirror or move job in dry-run mode first, since a mirror deletes destination files that no longer exist in the source; confirm the preview command against a test folder before pointing it at production data.
