Copy tasks

With a Copy task the source location will be monitored for changes and compared to the destination location. Any changes detected will be copied to the destination.
Note: The first time a Copy task is run, files that done't exists at the source will not be deleted from the destination target.

The next time a Copy task runs SyncFolder by default doesn't scan the destination target anymore but instead makes its decisions based on a cache file that has been created for the destination on the 1st run.
The cache file is updated each time a file is copied to the destination.
You can change the default usage of the cache file and force the app to always lookup the actual properties (size, modified date and time, ..) of any target file by clicking Advanced task settings in the Task properties page.

If a file in the destination target is modified or deleted, it will not get replaced by the same file in the source location unless the file at the source has actually changed.

As for any type of task you can configure filters to exclude certain files and folders from being copied.
