# FolderSync

FolderSync is a utility that keeps a replica folder synchronized with a source folder, ensuring the replica is always an exact copy of the source.

## Features

- **One-Way Sync**: The replica folder is always updated to match the source, overwriting any changes made in the replica.

- **Real-Time Interval Adjustment**: Change the sync interval on the fly, with changes applied immediately.

- **Automatic Folder Creation**: Creates `SourceFolder` and `ReplicaFolder` if they don't exist.

- **Logging**: Records all sync activities in `log.txt`.
