I need to check, but I am pretty sure the SSD is Mac OS Extended (GUID), and the external HDD is NTFS or FAT32.

I assume my best bet is to re-format that disk into Mac OS Extended and start from scratch and see if this solves the issue.

Hi,

I am unsure if this is a bug or what is wrong in my example. I am running FFS 13.7 on Sonoma 14.7. I can't remember I had this issue with previous versions of FFS.

I have a list of files on my MacBook Pro that I sync (mirror) with several hard disks (e.g., an SSD and a regular external disk ...

I didn't see this in the top Menu Bar. I also clicked on the arrow down to minimize but can't seem to get the window back. The sync should take 2 hours to finish so my only option is to wait and hope it gets done. I closed the FFS app on the mac, but it seems that the syncing still goes on. So this ...

I tried to open Version 12.5 just to check if I would see "unresolved conflicts" compared to version 13.7, but when I open 12.5, I get:

Configuration file "/Users/stijn/Library/Application Support/FreeFileSync/2a RBRATED C to Main.ffs_gui" is incomplete. The missing elements have been set to their ...

I am just a bit OCD when it comes to overwriting files. I come from Syncback (on Windows), which had an option to give prompts.

I am a DJ with a file structure like this:

The external drive (is the source) with 100k tracks in folders (think of them as full albums or CDs). My MacBook Pro contains a ...

Are you willing to bring this back? I found it incredibly useful!

What happens now to files that have a conflict?

Hi,

I just upgraded from version 12.5 to 13.7.

In 12.5, under the the custom setting, there was an option for difference = "conflict/item can not be categorized" to do "leave as unresolved conflict".

Did this option disappear in 13.7?

In the previous version there were 5 symbols (the ...

Sounds like this would be best solved by "Detect moved files" in "Update" mode: https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8296


Actually for the sync I want to do this option "Detect moved files" is not available because my settings are:

If item exists only on left side --> do noting
Left ...

I was wondering for the same, as I also worked with groups before: In the example pic, I ran just 5 runs (some with one external drive, others with another external), rather than all of these profiles separately.

In FFS I now indicated what would be a folder with a colored profile and I added a ...

Given that these options are available in Syncback, they have some use for certain people.

One example:
I have an external drive (source) with 50.000 or more songs that are synced with with my mac that contains a subset (around 1000) of these songs to play on DJ sets.

- If a track in on the ...

Hello,

I used to use SyncBack but I moved to mac so I am here now.

I would love the option of "prompt me" like SyncBack gives you when a file is in the destination but not in the source. Syncback also gives a "prompt me" option in other scenarios eg when a file is in the source but not in the ...
