Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Explorer 1.6.5 and later.
A few weeks ago we released a preview of Sync Folders feature that allows automatically synchronize local folders with Amazon S3 buckets. Over a few weeks we got we gathered some feedback from our user community and we are happy to announce some improvements.
Sync folders based on names only
This option works exactly like its name implies. In other words it will only copy files if it finds the files with new names. This option works faster as we don’t have to identify date modified for each files.
Sync folder apply ACL automatically
In the previous release you had to manually set ACLs to the files copied to the bucket using Sync Folder features. In the latest release the bucket ACL can be applied to new files automatically. To make it work you have to set Permission inheritance option in Tools | Options | Copy/Move tab:
A bit of usability…
And last but not least some of our users complained that they were confused once they created a sync folder. What should I do next? Does it run automatically or I should do something to run it? We added a message explaining what you should do next to run sync.

Still does not work right. I ran sync folders once, then again, and it started re-upload again, of everything...
Thanks, Anton! We will check it out
This feature is buggered as Anton posted. The enumeration in large folders/tree fails to find all files so not everything gets uploaded. Secondly, there's no actual synchronization going on - each attempt re-ups everything regardless of the sync-on-name-only feature. It took me a week of on and off again work to reconcile the sync process and get 100% of a 1gb file tree uploaded to S3 successfully. :(
I'm interested in buying Pro but the product is still a little flaky for me to put my $ in.
Brian,
could you please send us a diagnostic log? Go to Tools|Diagnostics in the main menu and click send button. this will help us troubleshoot the issue.
Many thanks
Andy
