I'm looking for a program that distributes the files you put in it, to all the selected media drives connected to your PC.

For example, let's say I have 3 flash drives plugged in. I want to put 1 file onto all 3 media drives in 1 click (or how many devices I select).

I mean you could just open 4 windows and copy it in every one, not that hard to do, automated not that I am aware of

This might be of help. I've done this for a client with some old database software. I put a reoccurring calendar reminder for her and she does it every week. I don't know how to do this for multiple drives at once.

I haven't personally configured this scenario before, but DropIT should be able to allow you to do this. So you know, I actually stopped using this program because of the amount of CPU resources it seems to constantly need, but it works great otherwise.

 

You basically create a "watch" folder and then use the GUI to design logic around the files that it sees there.

Yea it's not like this is the hardest thing to do. If you're doing this regularly, I'd look into the Linux scripts recommended by this poster:

 

linux scripts can do that for you, and i'm sure windows has stuff that does that as well, but beyond that i cant really help.

A script would certainly work but rsync was built (and very well might I add) specifically for this task.
