FolderFlow

A simple tool to sync folders between computers, via removable drive.

Update folders, software or games from one pc to another, without any direct connectivity.

Basic Steps:

In case of updating software/game, you need to know the installation folder on both devices.

0. Setup

  1. Download the FolderFlow distribution zip.
  2. Extract the zip inside your removable drive.

1. Create a flow configuration

  1. Plug the removable drive in the device with non-updated folder.
  2. Open a terminal/command prompt inside FolderFlow-v0.1.0/bin
  3. Run the command Folderflow -n <flowconfig.json> <target-installation-folder>

This will scan the installation folder and create a new flow config, with the provided name at <flowconfig.json>

2. Compare with updated folder and generate patch

  1. Plug the removable drive in the device with updated folder.
  2. Open a terminal/command prompt inside FolderFlow-v0.1.0/bin
  3. Run the command Folderflow -c <flowconfig.json> <updated-installation-folder>

This will scan the updated installation folder and generate an update patch.

3. Apply the update patch

  1. Plug the removable drive in the device with non-updated folder.
  2. Open a terminal/command prompt inside FolderFlow-v0.1.0/bin
  3. Run the command Folderflow -x <flowconfig.json>

This will apply the update patch to the non updated installation folder.

Run Folderflow -h for more information. You can update multiple folders by creating multiple different flow configurations and repeating the steps.
