    I use Unison, and the vdd that makes me tired, is very unfriendly and has quite a few errors ... Has anyone already tried this?
    Regards!

    PS: by the way, nice redesign 😀

    Thanks to you I have been able to install FreeFileSync on Ubuntu 14.04. I already knew it because I used it in Windows and it has always seemed the best program to synchronize folders and files. With other tutorials I was resisting.
    Thank you very much.
