Despite its name, SyncToy is a powerful utility to manage files in different locations, most notably in situations where you would routinely copy files to the same location. For example, you may wish to copy files from your camera on to your desktop, such that it gets routinely backed up to a server. Although its main audience is the home user, nonprofits may also find this utility useful to manage the many files and folders shared by users in a small office.
