Synchronizes files, makes backup copies and encrypts data
Toucan is a simple tool with which you can synchronize contents between your hard drive and a portable memory device. Well, in fact you can use it with any other drive –even mapped network drives, as long as the program has support for it.
Toucan's tabbed interface makes it very easy to use. Besides synchronizing with four different methods, the program also makes compressed backup copies (even incremental ones) and allows you to encrypt and decrypt data. These three functions are pretty straightforward, but I couldn't figure out the utility of the fourth tab, "Portable Variables". Only after browsing the program's directory I could find some help inside App\toucan\help.

Best and simplest syncing software. Must recommended software for hard disk or wifi HDD cloud backup

Preliminary Yes!.
I've been using Toucan to encrypt and back up for over a year and find it really easy to use. A delightful, clean looking program which seems to combine ccrypt with 7za and rsync (at guess). Cannot fault it so far but will evaluate the other features also. I sincerely hope Toucan continues as I find it Very useful. Maurice, UK More

Auto back up.
Could you add the auto run feature in toucan so that it runs every day automatically with out user interference?
Pros: you can drag and drop the folder. but difficult to understand.
Cons:
not stable. crashes most of the time... More

à éviter!.
Ne fait tout simplement pas ce qu'il est supposé de faire. Les synchronisations ne fonctionne pas bien, le logiciel n'est jamais capable d'effacer les fichiers qui doivent être effacés sur la destination lorsque ceux-ci ne sont plus dans la source. Une telle erreur est totalement inadmissible pour un logiciel de de genre! À éviter! More
