Same here…I need to find a software that I can install on the flash drive not in the computer. Any suggestions?

Please let me know how to install synctoy on my flash drive.

I’ve installed synctoy on my computer and backup to my flash drive, but I can’t use it at work (since I can’t install a program there). I would like to install it on my flash drive, but haven’t been able to.

Thanks,
arul

Does anyone know how to sync/backup a single file as opposed to a full folder? I am doing it using FEBE firefox extension but a standalone utility would be appreciated!

I solved half of my dilemma: Firefox (Mozilla) has an experimental product, “Weave” that does a wonderful job of syncing nearly all of the Firefox files over the web. Just load it into two separate computers – the process is very easy and user-friendly. Now I still need help locating the files in Thunderbird so I can sync them.

Thank you all for making clear how to use SyncToy. What I would like to sync, however, I cannot find:
1- the ini files for Thunderbird and Firefox
so that I can sync the toolbars. Can anyone help me find these?
Again – thank you for all the mentoring

if you’re running Linux I would recommend taking a look at GNU usbsync for dumb synchronizations such as this. it’s available at:

http://klingspor-thueringen.de/usbsync

it’s simple but handles synchronizations pretty well.

what makes it really nice is that you’ve a .usbsync file in the top level directory of your thumbdrive which specifies what is to be synchronized on what machine.

really nice if your’re working on more than one computer and have you’re data with you to be easily synchronized at various places. i use it daily.
