I just wanted to let the developers know how much I appreciate their efforts
in developing SyncToy. I've found it to be an ideal solution for keeping
files in sync on multiple computers.

I am a teacher who teaches using a Tablet PC in class. I use SyncToy to do a
three-way synchronization of files between my desktop PC, the Tablet PC, and
a shared network drive. SyncToy runs an automatically scheduled backup task
on the desktop machine in the middle of the night and keeps files on the
desktop PC synchronized with the network. I run SyncToy manually on the
Tablet before heading off to class and synchronize files on it with the
network. In this way I can change a file on the Tablet, on the desktop PC or
on the network share and keep everything in sync.

The only thing that I've found to dislike about SyncToy is the name. Maybe
it's time to think of a new name that doesn't imply that this tool is just a
toy.
 
I couldn't agree more. SyncToy is just what I have been looking for -- a
simple to use, flexible, fast backup program. Kudos to the developers.
