title: Microsoft Sync Framework or alternative for Windows 8
body: <p>I'm developing an application for Windows 8 (WinRT) which performing synchronization of two folders. While searching information on best ways to compare and synchronize all files (which can be a lot), I came across Microsoft Sync Framework and its File Synchronization Provider: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync/bb887623.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync/bb887623.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>I tried it in classic desktop way and found out that it's pretty useful framework, with lots of tasty options. But guess what - does not support WinRT applications. Well, that's understandable, considering all restrictions of the platform in terms of interaction with the file system.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any alternative of it for WinRT applications? Or any tools that can make my task easier, for that matter? All that I could found in Internet is about database synchronization or so, I don't need that right now.</p>
