How to sync folders between different network drives

I am MATLAB user and I usually create scripts that either creates outputs as plot figures or write data to files (eg excel files). Currently, what I do is after creating my outputs on my network drive I either send files to the admin or another network drive manually (giving those files via hard drive or may be just copy the files on accessing their network drive).

However now, I wish to do either of the following two possible things :

1. When I create those output files, it should be written directly on another network drive.OR
2. Create a sync folder between the two network drives (just like a dropbox or Onedrive) wherein if I write my output files to that folder, it should be available on another network drive which is being accessed by someone else (for eg if it is connected via LAN)

For reference, I saw a function on file exchange called syncfolder

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29230-backup-and-sync/content//syncfolder.m

However, I am not sure if it really is useful for me, because it nowhere mentions about using different network drive.

So, can anyone tell me how to go about this problem and make this achievable.

P.S : I would be glad if someone is able to get me option #2 mentioned above.

What OS? Windows7?

See

• DSynchronize and scroll down. ( This works excellently even on Network Drive thanks a ton – boulder_ruby Mar 4 at 20:01)
• FreeFileSync, Free backup software to synchronize files and folders
• Best Free Folder Synchronization Utility

and search for more if neither fits.

Yes, I am using Windows 7.

I want to know if we have any script or command in MATLAB that can do that work?

Hey per isakson, any idea how does the syncfolder option work? Does it need the folder to be on the same network drive connection or it can be some other connection?

[per isakson]

• "if we have any script or command in MATLAB" &nbsp AFAIK: No, not besides syncfolder. &nbsp Why don't you test it?
• I don't think Matlab is the best tool for this task. However, I guess it is possible, see importing a csv file into matlab automatically after it gets changed - replace "import" by "copy"

ok.. I will try it..thank you very much Per Isakson

Hi KRUNAL!

If you want to sync files, I suggest you try KrojamSoft SyncFile . It works well unlike other sync softwares.
