   This is not free. It locks you out of your files and demands that you pay to upgrade if it thinks you have "excessive usage".

   Reviewing 9.1.7 (May 7, 2011)

   Downloaded and tested Allway Sync this afternoon. I found it excellent and perfect for my needs. The user interface is excellent, and I put it through tests and it was flawless. I am a programmer myself , and have been into computers since the 1970's. It is rare for me to ever have such a pleasant experience with new software. I did not see the program's usage limitation at all, so I am glad I read this forum!! But I would gladly pay for it. Following others recommendations of Unison, I researched that, as it is what i need for our bigger server application. But I was not successful in downloading a clean and easy install exe, and did not want to download and compile and configure it. . After a bit of hunting around, I found one, but the download froze and I gave up after three trys.

   Same problem as other reviewers stated - it failed half way through backing up My Documents folder and demanded money. Stay away.

   I took the time to read the EULA about the program being free after I downloaded the file to try out. It clearly states that if you process more than 40,000 files in a 30 day period you have to purchase the program. Knowing what I was going to use it for I knew I would have to pay for it since I was going to be dealing with that much or more files in any given month. I tried out the program and it did everything I wanted it to do and more unlike the other program I had previously bought, GoodSync. I purchased Allway Sync in a day after trying it out and I have no regrets whatsoever still.

   I agree with the last two posters. Allway Sync looks good, but it let me down halfway through a task when I'd exceeded the limit. More annoying than not having it at all. I had quite a lot of files to synchonise, but isn't that the point of using it. MS Synctoy and Dsynchronize both work fine. Avoid Allway, cos it'll bite you when you least need it to.

   Avoid !!!
   
   It's not a 30 day timeout. It times out = stops working, when you exceed a certain throughput. In my case I hadn't even gone through all my folders. Happened in 3 days, not 30.
