The _<I>Mergeall_</I> content sync/backup system, available at this _<A HREF="https://learning-python.com/mergeall.html">site_</A>. I initially wrote this because I was tired of waiting for exhaustive PC-to-flashdrive copies to finish. It syncs content quickly by doing incremental propagations using timestamps: only changed items are ever updated. It eventually grew to accommodate a host of interoperability issues and multiple use cases, and work on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, in both command-line and GUI modes (see _<A HREF="2019%20PyAndroid%202.jpg.html">2019_</A> for the Android GUI). Plus, it's open-source transparent, free to use and mod, and will never root through your stuff without your permission—intangibles that sharply differentiate it from most cloud-storage options. This stuff matters today. _<HR> _<I>2023 update_</I>: also watch for the Android+PCs standalone app _<A HREF="2023%20Sync%20App.jpg.html">ahead_</A>; it's Mergeall with a Kivy GUI face-lift to work around USB and shared-storage constraints in later Androids.
