SafeMyWork saves all files in the given directory into another directory to keep your work safe and avoid losing data and time.
SafeMyWork is intended for people who handle a lot of files which can be texts, images, songs... The aim is to avoid losing documents.
Run SafeMyWork and select your working folders. Then while you are working, every a certain amount of time, all files in this folder will be copied into a separate folder. It keeps your files safe if you forget to save your work or delete accidentally files.
It can also synchronize two folders.
