I think you are expecting too much from detect moved and renamed files. You will need to delete for those items that the detection does not see, or you will have duplicates. You can always manually review the compare too before proceeding. This is just my opinion... but logic tells me there is only ...

I do not intend to say I do not trust you... but I see that you have identified the concern of how it appears. It sure raised a flag to me, making me think I am glad I caught it before messing up a lot of data.

My initial thought, as ignorant as it might be as it is centered on my experience only ...

There was no indication it would fail to run, it gave me the dialog indicating that clicking ok would do a mass deleting. I think aborting is not at all premature as the entire left side path is not there. If you do not have an entire side available, nothing should be run, at least in my opinion, as ...

I have a job setup in which a remote drive is mirrored / updated to another remote drive. When I ran a compare on this job, it ended with showing me that it was going to delete everything on the target drive, deleting as they only appear on the right. But the reality is that I forgot to connect the ...

I personally agree on exFAT being a waste I was unaware of the issues with FAT as described on the prior reference, so I believe at least my issue is explained. I have already started the process of changing to NTFS. The information provided here just added more to the issues I already had with ...

I have a mixed network, but for this specific sync job, I am using NTFS on source and exFAT on destination. Those are both external drives. The devices using them are a Windows laptop (NTFS) and an Ubuntu laptop (ext4). I already regret not reformatting the exFAT drive before putting into use, so in ...

Here is a screenshot of an operation that contains almost all only moves (98%). I took a long list of folders and moved them into letter folders as subfolders. So if I had 20 folders starting with A, they are all not in a main folder titled A as subfolders. FFS wants almost a half day to do this, I ...

A great option to have is to show a timestamp (date and time) of the last run of each configuration showing in the upper left corner. This is something I really miss having from GoodSync. I run many syncs and most often not all at the same time. For example, I will sync A,B,D while I am working on C ...

I came across this due to issues I am having that appear most similar. In my case, I have large folders of music and video files. What I am finding is that if I rename a folder from "FolderA" to "FolderB", it will delete FolderA on the destination side and then create FolderB and recopy all the ...
