BestSync is file synchronization, backup, and replication software from RiseFly Software, built for Windows and Windows Server. It supports local folders, network shares, NAS, USB drives, FTP/FTPS/FTPES/SFTP, WebDAV, ZIP archives, and cloud storage services such as Amazon S3, Azure, Google Storage, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Its positioning is closer to a traditional desktop/server-side utility than a purely cloud-based SaaS product.
BestSync offers very granular functionality: one-way backup, two-way sync, file mirroring, incremental and full backups, real-time synchronization, recurring/scheduled tasks, parallel tasks, pre-sync preview, file type and time-based filtering, resumable transfers, multi-threaded upload/download, bandwidth control, log export, and email reports. In server environments, it can run as a Windows Service without requiring a user to log in. It also supports Volume Shadow Copy, allowing it to back up open or locked files such as SQL databases and Outlook PST files.
On the security side, BestSync supports AES 256-bit encryption before uploading to FTP or public cloud storage, ZIP AES 128/256-bit password protection, FTPS/FTPES/SFTP, integrity verification, version retention, recovery of deleted or replaced files, and a threshold-based approach to ransomware protection. Integrations cover major cloud storage providers, FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, SMTP, MS Outlook, and Android via BestDAV. Information on collaboration and permissions is relatively limited; the main capabilities appear to be file-system permission features such as copying NTFS permissions, automatic login to network shares, and user impersonation. There is no clear evidence of team workspaces, member management, or approval workflows.
Pricing is straightforward and based on one-time licenses: Basic US$25.80, Premium US$49.80, Business US$89.80, and Ultimate US$129.80, with volume discounts available. The free version can be used for local file system synchronization and backup, while advanced features such as FTP/SFTP/cloud sync can be tried for 30 days. A 30-day money-back guarantee is also offered. For long-term users, the cost is manageable.
BestSyncβs strengths are broad protocol coverage, strong automation, and solid encryption and version protection. It is well suited to scenarios such as SMB file backup, website publishing via FTP, server-to-NAS/cloud synchronization, and encrypted USB synchronization. Its drawbacks are that it is mainly focused on Windows and lacks public APIs, modern SaaS collaboration features, a centralized management console, and visible compliance certification information. If you need cross-platform command-line tools or cloud-native collaboration, alternatives to compare include FreeFileSync, GoodSync, Syncovery, Duplicati, and Rclone.
The source text does not provide information about access from mainland China, payment methods, or network availability, so this remains unknown. Since some third-party cloud services it depends on, such as Google Drive and Dropbox, may face access restrictions in mainland China, users should test their target storage service and payment flow before deploying it in practice.
