Synchronizing Folders Synchronizing Folders With Sync, you can easily keep important files up to date in multiple locations. You select one or more folders on your computer to synchronize. Whenever any files change or are added inside your folder(s), they are automatically copied to your FreeAgent drive. You can even synchronize folders between different computers, which is a convenient way to move files between a computer at work and a computer at home. Note: Files cannot be synchronized between computers running XP and those running Vista.
