How to sync two folders on Windows

Syncing two folders safely starts with visibility. FileLever’s preview-first workflow is designed for people who want to understand new, changed, unchanged, and target-only files before a sync run touches anything.

For Windows users, the practical decision is usually whether you want copy/update mode or mirror mode. Copy/update preserves extra files that already exist in the target. Mirror mode is stricter and can remove target-only files after confirmation.

Use FileLever when you need:

• a clear preview of what will change
• safer folder comparison than a blind copy job
• a local-first desktop workflow without forced accounts
