What is Sync Folders Pro?
Sync Folders Pro is a macOS utility for file synchronization and backup. It helps users copy, mirror, and keep folders aligned between a Mac, external drives, network locations, and supported cloud-backed folders. The app is designed for people who want a more flexible alternative to simple drag-and-drop copying, including home users managing backups and professionals maintaining working folders across devices. Common uses include one-way backup, two-way sync, scheduled sync jobs, and real-time monitoring of folder changes. It also includes filtering options, logging, and support for handling large numbers of files, which makes it useful for recurring backup and file-management workflows on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Sync Folders Pro is a legitimate file-sync utility, and access to folders you choose is normal for its purpose. Because it can copy, replace, or propagate deletions between locations depending on your sync settings, the main practical risk is unintended file changes if a task is configured incorrectly. Review each sync direction, test important jobs with noncritical folders first, and keep a separate backup of important data before using automated or bidirectional sync.
Recommendation: Keep Sync Folders Pro if you use it for backups or folder synchronization on your Mac. If you no longer rely on its sync jobs, you can remove it, but make sure any important automated backup or mirroring task has been replaced first.
