You need to be more specific about your requirements:
1. Sync one way (A to B) or two ways (A to B and B to A)?
2. Only sync new and changed files or also deletions?

I'll share I use RoadKil's Unstoppable Copier, FileZilla, GoldSync and SyncBack.

All seem nice and I've used them all without any troubles. So for me these are the best.

Fast Copy is The Best.

BTW to get more syn option try exshail copycare with preview option.

1. "Source > Target - Copy Files New and changed from Source"
2. "Source > Target - Copy Files New From Source"
3. "Source > Target - Copy Files Changed from Source"
4. "Target > Source - Copy Files Changed from Target"
5. "Target <> Source Copy Files having Size Difference"
6. "Delete Files Orphan from Target"
7. "Source = Target - Copy Exact to Target - Overwrite All (Delete Orphans from Target)"
