Task Scheduled Task no longer works. - Allway Sync Pro

Hi guys. Thanks for being here.



I have been using Allway Sync Pro for the last few years. I paid for the Lifetime version. Good Sync acquired the software, and they want me to pay for the subscription model – usual for-profit hungry companies. This programme synchronises my HDD to my NAS. It USED to do it automatically.



I am using Windows Task Scheduler from instructions on You Tube specifically for Allway Sunc Pro.



It stopped about a year ago while still on Win 10 Pro now on Win 11 Pro. I originally reached to the You Tuber who loved the programme and used Task Scheduler. I followed his instructions, cand it was stable for a long time. I reached out to him when it failed to automatically synchronise – nothing. I reached out to the new company and – no they want me to transfer to the subscription model.



Can you help?

it would look like you will have to find new software to do your required sync task because it looks like the new company that now owns this Allways Sync Pro have changed the terms and conditions of the software agreement and there is nothing anyone here would be able to anything about that.

you could look at FreeFileSync which may meet your needs.

the free version does most things but there is also a 'donation' version which has more options.
best of luck, Steve ..

Hi Steve – thank you for the reply. It is all about the money.



I trailed FreeFileSync for about a month. My big problem was with a specific type of file; it had issues with. *.MYO, I synchronised the files, but it continued to tell me that the files had changed even if I had done no work. I tried this a number of times with different file types:



Synchronise the folder – tick all done

The synchronise it again – and there was NO activity in the folder as it is only me and I sat and did not work on the file.

It said the group of files changed.

I cannot be sure if the files actually did get synchronise to my other PC.

It did not do it with all *.MYO files just some and it sometimes changed which ones.

I did the same operation with other files and on the second synchronisation, it said there was no change – as expected as I had recently done a synchronisation.



FreeFileSync did not like my important files.



Thanks for the suggestion.
