Microsoft has released a beta version of a new folder and file synchronization tool it says is easier to use and more reliable than the often-ignored Briefcase that's included with Windows XP.

Dubbed SyncToy, the new tool relies on a simple wizard-style interface to walk users through the copying process. It will copy files from one folder to another, keep both folders in sync, and automatically delete files in one folder when they've been erased in another.

Tried it out today, and it seems to work fine - nice interface too.

Good for keeping multiple versions / copies of files in synch across laptops, PCs, external hard drives etc.

I plan to use it to synch my documents folder to an external HD I have for backup purposes.
