DirSync

Dirsync is a simple python program to sync/copy/backup directories. DirSync supports filtering files by extensions, directories, size, date. This can be particularly useful to sync/copy files and folders with external hard disk or drives.

Features

Three modes:

default: copies all files in source that is absent in destination. (Dest = Dest + Src)

bidirectional: syncs both source and destination ((Dest = Src) = Dest | Src)

strict: copies all source files to destination and delete destination files that are absent in source. (Dest = Src)

Filters:

size: process files in provided size range only

date: process files modified in provided date interval.

extension: include or exclude files with provided extensions

directories: include or exclude files in provided folders

Supports absolute path and relative paths

Deletes files to recycle bin

Config file to save default preferences

Usage

# if you do not have send2trash $ pip install -r requirements.txt
