The "api" subdomain should give it away that this URL is not meant to be opened by a browser. Yes, allowing HTTPS traffic (port 443) for this domain (that should include its sub-pages!) will allow for email sending.

Most likely you've (accidentally?) changed the symbolic link handling, see the comparison config page: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=comparison-settings "ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED" is the default response when symlink handling is set to "follow" for these folders as you saw in Explorer. By ...

Thanks for the report! Issues have been fixed for the next release:

1. Filter description: Added newline and disabled hard-coded line-wrap:
2. Sync description: Increased hard-coded line-wrap to 250 pixels:

I believe the drive must be accessible in order to determine the drive letter from a given volume GUID.

Looks like a libcurl bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/15101

Here is a fixed version for testing: https://www.mediafire.com/file/e56rt0snrda9974/FreeFileSync_13.9_%255BBeta%255D_Windows_Setup.exe

Most likely these files have been renamed *and* changed.

The website doesn't handle credit cards directly but uses Stripe as payment processor.

What does this question have to do with FreeFileSync?

CreateFile(The system cannot find the path specified.3) : S:\III\... this, while copying files to it, to S:, it went "offline", This can happen due to hardware failure, e.g. a flaky USB cable, or loose contact. I'm sure this can also happen when the USB port can't handle sustained high load (low ...

In case you're able to, a trace file that covers the FFS scanning phase at a time where files are not showing up, although you would expect them to, would help to clarify if it's possible to detect this situation (albeit its a bit clutching at straws, because I don't think it is) https ...

Access control glitch, most likely:
viewtopic.php?t=11697&p=45400#p45395

I saw these hangs when trying to rename a file on some MTP devices. For whatever reason the smartphone gets freaked out and blocks for 30 seconds, apparently doing nothing.

To verify you could test disabling the DB file (which renames the file sync.ffs_tmp to sync.ffs_db).

Sure, the problem is how to detect a fake empty folder from a real empty folder when there are no error messages.

All these ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED are also wery weird. When the issue really was about network connectivity these should be something like ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED. Perhaps access control is somehow responsible for these fake empty folders: https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/98360/users-getting ...

A few observations: The volume "S:\" apparently did "exist" during comparison, otherwise the subfolders would not have been found. Some folders failed scanning with "Cannot read directory". None of these failures lead to file deletions and they were properly skipped. On the other hand, the folders ...

Might be a temporary network issue. I've opened an already running OpenSuse Leap in Vmware and also got EAI_NONAME(-2) at first after clicking "add connection". Then when trying to reproduce this after a minute or so, the error was gone, and the browser opened as expected.

There is no need for scripts! Copying to the clipboard can be done directly Let me clarify this, because I think this is a nice feature that nobody really knows about: The custom commands of the FFS context menu are directly evaluated by cmd.exe just like the contents of a cmd/bat file! So they are ...

Hi,

Zenju can clarify this but my research shows that:

FreeFileSync doesn't directly use the Google Drive API for connectivity etc Flowers4, 26 Oct 2024, 19:46

You have my attention and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter! 😂 ccarcit, 27 Oct 2024, 00:09

Sign me up as well! Because this claim doesn't make any sense! :D

The article is correct. Security assessments for third-party access to Google Drive are apparently a yearly thing now. The process is beyond bizarre. Last time FFS passed, however. I have no idea how long this "luck" is going to last: https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11010#p42170

And the UI is just so beautiful that it fills me with joy when I use it. jackster, 02 Aug 2024, 17:15

I'm glad to hear that! :D You wouldn't believe it, but there have been voices in the past that called the FFS GUI "antiquated".

May not be required but that’s the only thing that worked to activate. :) bakebeans, 25 Oct 2024, 15:26

No, that's your superstition ;)

Then you may want to disable "Use database to detect moved/renamed files" No, it's the opposite. Using the database prevents this conflict and correctly detects a direction. But only starting with the second sync, obviously, because it needs to compare against the former state. OP apparently synced ...

Thanks All, Looks like I had to move the .key file to OPT/FreeFileSync. Its now working. bakebeans, 30 Sep 2024, 04:12

No, that's not required.

If I move this album to my ARCHIVE folder on C: and synchronize with FFS, it will ADD the NEW folder in the H: Media / Photos /Archive / [Album1] archive to H:, BUT it will leave an empty “archived” album folder in H: Media / Photos / [Album1]. I can't imagine this being the case. Except perhaps whe ...

I haven't tried it but supposedly you can configure FFS to use your own SMTP server.

[...]

Here's a general guide on how to do it: sam23, 03 Oct 2024, 03:32

Is this ChatGPT nonsense!? None of the above is true. FreeFileSync (currently) doesn't support custom SMTP.

This could be done by creating some small batch scripts and having them called using the "custom context menu" options in FFS. There is no need for scripts! Copying to the clipboard can be done directly, see the example in: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=external-applications echo %item ...

That's just normal behavior. You can select any folder for versioning, doesn't matter if local, (S)FTP, MTP, or Google Drive: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=versioning
