unison-gtk
Unison offers several advantages over various synchronization methods such as CVS, Coda, rsync, Intellisync, etc. Unison can run on and synchronize between Windows and many UNIX platforms. Unison requires no root privileges, system access or kernel changes to function. Unison can synchronize changes to files and directories in both directions, on the same machine, or across a network using ssh or a direct socket connection.
Transfers are optimised using a version of the rsync protocol, making it ideal for slower links. Unison has a clear and precise specification, and is resilient to failure due to its careful handling of the replicas and its private structures.
This package adds the optional GTK+ interface.

Very easy to use. I use it to synchronize in ssh and it works pretty well. On the other hand, I see several defects: 1) It is not very backward compatible, difficult to run on machines with different versions. 2) It does not detect the renaming, instead it recreates a new file, which is heavy. 3) At the time of synchronization, it does not intelligently prioritize certain files, which tends to fragment the disk. And it prevents from stopping and resuming on the way.
Works well on Lunix Mint 18.3 'Sylvia'. I use it to sync to Dropbox and Spideroak folders for cloud syncing. WARNING: Notice which way arrows are pointing before hitting "go" button.
Using this for copying my music collection to an external drive in fat32, works great.
excelllent. works with mint, on large files and on large number of files.
Doesn't work properly. No column sort, no multi select. Ok for fixing a few lines, but useless with large numbers of files (unless you really want a full merge). It works properly with my iMac, why not Mint?
