SyncBelt is a Windows folder synchronization tool from Anfibia Software, positioned around βWeb Synchronization.β It is not a cloud service; instead, you install it locally and use it through a browser-based localhost interface. It is suitable for syncing local folders with remote FTP/SFTP sites, external hard drives, or other local directories.
Its main strength is pre-sync simulation: the workflow is divided into Simulation, Review, Syncing, and Results. Users can see in advance which files will be copied, deleted, ignored, or skipped by rules before deciding whether to proceed. This makes it useful for scenarios such as website publishing, where accidental operations need to be avoided. Comparison methods include modified time, file size, or always copy; orphaned files on the target side can be configured to be deleted or ignored. The rule system can skip files by file size, filename, or folder name, and it can also apply Unix-style permissions by file extension on remote servers. Other practical features include text file comparison, report viewing and CSV export, and configuration import/export.
SyncBelt supports only Windows 10/11 64-bit and requires a modern browser, with very low hardware requirements. At the protocol level, it supports Local, FTP, and SFTP; the documentation also notes that if SCP is available, SFTP transfer speed is improved. The collected text does not mention any API, SDK, CLI, Webhook, CI/CD, or IDE integration, so it is better understood as a desktop operations tool rather than a developer platform for pipeline automation.
The official website clearly states that it is free to use, and the Terms also say it can be downloaded for free. v2 uses the CC BY-ND 4.0 license, but the page does not provide a source code repository, so this alone is not enough to determine that it is an open-source project. No paid edition, subscription, enterprise licensing, payment methods, or commercial support pricing was found.
Its advantages are that it is easy to get started with, supports pre-sync review, is practical for FTP/SFTP scenarios, and has documentation covering installation and the main features. Its drawbacks are that it is Windows-only, supports a maximum of 15 projects, limits text comparison to files under 1MB, and lacks automation interfaces. It is a good fit for individual webmasters, small-team developers, maintainers of traditional FTP/SFTP websites, and Windows users who need local backups. If you need cross-platform support, command-line automated deployment, or deep CI/CD integration, alternatives such as WinSCP, FileZilla, FreeFileSync, and rsync may be worth considering.
