FoldersSynchronizer
FoldersSynchronizer is a macOS file synchronization and backup utility for keeping folders, disks, and bootable backups aligned across locations.
What is FoldersSynchronizer?
FoldersSynchronizer is a macOS utility for synchronizing and backing up files, folders, disks, and boot disks. It is designed for people who need to mirror working folders, maintain backup copies, or keep files in sync between local, external, and remote volumes. The app supports both synchronization and one-way backup workflows, with session files that let you save and reuse recurring jobs. It also includes preview and conflict-handling tools so you can review planned changes before files are copied, replaced, or deleted. Advanced options cover exact sync and exact backup behavior, filtering and exclusions, automatic mounting of volumes, and background operation for scheduled or repeated tasks. FoldersSynchronizer is published by Lorenzo Puleo through Softobe for macOS.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
FoldersSynchronizer is a legitimate file sync and backup tool for macOS. Access to your files and external or remote volumes is normal for its purpose, but sync and exact backup operations can overwrite or delete files when you choose mirroring options. Review the source, destination, and preview carefully before running important jobs, especially when using exact sync, exact backup, or shutdown-after-sync settings.
Recommendation: Keep FoldersSynchronizer if you actively use it for folder syncing or backups. If you no longer rely on its saved jobs or background availability, you can remove it, but review any important sync settings and backup destinations first so you do not interrupt a workflow you still need.
