DirSync Pro is an open source synchronization and backup utility for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. The first version was released in February 2003 and the application has been in active development since then.

DirSync Pro offers a graphical user interface from which the user can manage and run multiple synchronization tasks.[1] As of version 1.02, it supports folder to folder synchronization, but does not allow synchronization over a network or via FTP. The application is self-contained within its own directory, and is therefore fully portable.[2]

Linux.com rated the application positively, saying that "it makes defining a bidirectional sync as simple as picking two directories".[3] Likewise, freshmeat calls it a "powerful, easy-to-configure tool to synchronize the contents of one directory with another".[4]
