Hey there,
Is there a way to import a folder's file content analysis from one computer to another rather than perform it slowly across a network?
I have a large folder (400gb) I want to two way sync between a Mac laptop and and a desktop PC that can see each other over a wireless network, but the initial Compare File Content function is running at 3MB/sec and is estimated to take a day and a half. Is there any way to speed up the initial Compare by using local analysis?
Cheers for any help.

In FFS that is not possible.
This would require compare/sync software to run local at each location involved in the sync, e.g. by locally determining checksums.
But often, installing software at each location is not possible or permitted.
And that is exactly often the advantage of FFS: it only needs to run on a single machine involved in the sync, as long as that machine has (just) file access to the other locations involved in the sync.

Thanks Plerry,
I've got it working perfectly fine with just File Time and Size Compare, but a lot of files where File Content would be handy. Apart from that this software is super!
