Download Goodsync 11

GoodSync is a backup and file synchronization program. It is used for synchronizing files between two directories, either on one computer, or between a computer and another storage device (e.g. another computer, a removable disc, a flash drive or a smartphone) or between a computer and a remote computer or server.[3]
GoodSync allows the same version of files to be maintained on multiple computing devices. In other words, when two devices are synchronized, the user can be sure that the most current version of a file is available on both devices, regardless of where it was last modified.
Are you syncing files to a remote network My Cloud? If not, if all the computers you want to sync to the My cloud are on the same local network then pretty much any sync software should work. For example Free File Sync ( ) is one some of us use that can sync to as many folders/shares on the local network My Cloud as one wants. For mobile syncing there are probably similar apps for mobile devices that will do the same to a local network My Cloud.
Do you absolutely need the Goodsync Server? Or can you get by with the paid Personal client version that provides unlimited files and unlimited Goodsync jobs? The Personal paid version is $29.95 per year and supports up to 5 computers/devices.
I'm currently syncing a folder to online-only access via GoodSync using the Dropbox API that they have implemented. I was forced to do this because using the Dropbox desktop client my files were uploadinging without consistent accurracy. Files were being placed in incorrect folders and I could not monitor the progress or stop and start it.
I've used several P2P syncing apps in the past but they went by the wayside or grew to be very expensive. For the past couple years I've been using GoodSync (GS) and have been quite happy with it. However, when I learned of BitTorrent Sync (BTS) I just had to give it a try.
As some of you may know, I am the developer of the openmediavault-goodsync plugin. Unfortunately, the company that develops GoodSync has recently started charging for the use of GoodSync on Linux. As a result, I am ending development of the plugin immediately, and must find an alternative solution for syncing. I have been checking out rclone and Syncthing, but neither of them have the complete feature set that GoodSync had that I am looking for. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
I have also been looking for a sync alternative to Goodsync and tested Duplicati. I found out that Duplicati only serves as a backup tool, it doesn't create normal accessible files in the destination location. In the FAQ on the Duplicati-site they confirm this:
Q: Can Duplicati store plain files instead of inside compressed folders?
A: No. Duplicati is a backup tool, not a file sync tool. If you simply sync your files, you need to be certain that the system that you are storing the files on can handle the same as your local files. For example you cannot store data from a case-sensitive filesystem on a server with a case-insensitive file system.
You also need a server-side handler that can update the remote files, otherwise you need to transfer complete files every time something changes. Duplicati is designed so it does not require any code installed on the remote machine.
If you store plain files on the server, you loose confidentiality as all filenames and file sizes are readable.
However, if this is what you want, you can search for "file mirror tool" or "file sync tool". Some open source projects that look interesting: Rclone, SparkleShare, Mirall, OwnCloud, cSync, S3 File Sync. There are many commercial solutions as well.
- FreeFileSync, which is a free and open-source tool that offers block-level sync and automated syncing features. It also has a user-friendly interface and the ability to sync to third-party cloud services, including Google Drive and OneDrive.
- Duplicati, which is a free and open-source backup and synchronization tool that offers block-level sync and automated syncing features. It also has the ability to encrypt your data and sync to third-party cloud services, including Google Drive and OneDrive.
- GS RichCopy 360 is another file synchronization tool that offers block-level sync and automated syncing features. It also has the ability to sync to third-party cloud services, including Google Drive and OneDrive. However, it is not a free tool and you would need to purchase a license to use it.
- SyncBack is a powerful backup and synchronization tool that offers block-level sync and automated syncing features. It also has the ability to sync to third-party cloud services, including Google Drive and OneDrive. SyncBack also offers a free version that may meet your needs.
The goodsync functions all work as expected with the firewall disabled. When the firewall is active a nag pops up saying "(connecting mediator,goodsync.com:443) Permission to access socket is denied (need a proxy?)" while trying to setup/verify the the account or if trying to connect to the support portal the nag is "[connecting to www.goodsync.com:443] Permission to access socket is denied ...."
So far the support at goodsync has been totally unprofessional and frustratingly unhelpful, the tech has not provided any insight as to what the firewall is blocking that goodsync needs so I am really shooting in the dark trying to sort this out
For the past couple months, I've had the opportunity to explore Siber System's flagship software suite: GoodSync 9. This software is available for both the Mac and PC operating systems and can be a lifesaver when you're attempting to quickly sync and transfer files between the numerous computers in your home network.
At the end of the day, Goodsync is the only option I have found that works 100% (for me) and I would love a docker for this but until then it works perfectly in a VM, just a waste having a VM purely for GoodSync
But I only have it installed on my PC. It does nightly backups (one-way sync) of documents and other personal files to my Unraid server. As for backing up my server, I am currently just doing an rsync script of the important shares to externals for storage offsite.
I use Goodsync running on my VM to download sonarr & radarr files from my seedbox and also to backup all my files to my Google Drive (Unlimited) I run a WIN10 VM at the moment to run Goodsync but would love to have a GUI Driven docker as this is all the VM does!
So the server and commandline linux is no problem at all. But you wish to have the Windows GUI as a docker?
Does Goodsync works with the Mono framework. I dont think that it makes sence to create a docker with Mono and NoVNC for this.
I've been using the GSDocker using Goodsync connect. Its been flawless and has not had any problems with Goodsync updates so either its very well designed and kept up to date, or the GoodSync Connect protocol isn't changing. I use GoodSync on Windows 10. Works really well...
Have you used gsync (not Connect) in the docker? I've been playing with it but the command line options are extensive. I am trying to create my jobs in the Windows version and export them to the docker.
Hey has anyone tried updating the goodsync docker to the latest version? The one in apps is an older version and according to the release notes it should auto update. 11.3.2 is on the website, but 10.9.32.2 is what is within the docker.
After manually updating the container I noticed on 11.3.3.2 (possibly 11+) that for it to register - I needed to create a folder mapping to container path /etc/goodsync/ as it appears the license is mapped here not where it was before.
Man, this is awesome. Any chance you or someone else here is willing to maintain this at least semi-officially over time? I'm using Duplicacy, which is great, but I have a GS license and I feel more comfortable with the flexibility of GS (I am using the Duplicacy web gui which is sparse) and being able to access my backup files (I'm really using that, not actual sync) outside of the app (vs snapshots) in a crisis.
