FreeFileSync Forum

Hi all, I'm using FFS for years, mainly for backuping my PCs to my NAS. Recently I have a new need: I have a project on 2 PCs, and I synchronize them with the NAS : PC1 <-> NAS <-> PC2. Since I only work on one PC at a time, there are no "forked" versions. But there is something I don't un...

Hi all, Today I noticed an item [ Choix de la synchronization - Enter] in the contextual menu of an file. Not understanding the label, I clicked it for trying to see its effect on my file list. The file disappeared from the list. Then I switched to English version and saw [Synchronize selection - En...

Hi, is there any plan to have the "expert settings" modifiable in the "normal options" screen ? :)

Ooops sorry, I didn't see the "hint" when mouse-hover.
So they'll be removed on 27/02 and 04/03. Fine !
Thanks ! :)

And keep the good work, you ROCK !!!

Hi all, I'm using a Donation Edition on 2 Computers (perso + pro). Last week, I've re-installed Windows + all softwares on both of them. Now, FFS tells me it's installed on 4 devices. I went to the page and set the 2 previous installations as "Unused", but it seems it's not enough. (https:...

Thanks for pointing the previous thread, and sorry to not searched it.

I agree it's not an urgent request: it's in fact possible to get an "immediate" pause by pressing the [Stop] button. :)

Hi, I'm wondering how the Pause function works. My case: - Replicating 700 GB of files (~1 GB each) - Source and targets are two SSDs located on the same NAS - Using the parallel mode (8 threads for both source and target) What happened : - Needing some other files on the NAS, I realized Windows can...

I'm not sure how you are getting this kind of speed but my upload to google drive is ranging from 50kB/s to 700KB/s, in other words, extremely slow and extremely below the limitations of both my computer and my network. As far as I know, there are these 2 things to consider: 1) You should try to ma...

Wow, one of my dreams came true...

Thanks so much !!!

Upload speed with MP3 files (typicall size around 3 MB) is the max of my connection speed (300 Mb/s = 35 MB/s), using my "usual" 8 threads. :)

Hi, Would it possible to consider moving the option LockDirectoriesDuringSync from GlobalSettings.xml to the *.ffs_gui files ? Or even better, to keep it in GlobalSettings.xml , and provide an override possibility at *.ffs_gui level. :) The need is: - To keep it enabled when synchronising network/sh...

Wow, I indeed didn't think about the "root" aspect.

The other files I filter (*.mp4 & *.mkv) are actually in the root of one of the folders, that's why this filter worked. :)

Thanks !

Hi all, I've some filters like this and they work fine: *.mp4 *.mkv Recently I wanted to also filter the temp (open) files of Office, so I added this: ~*.* But it didn't work. Now I've accidentally set: *\~*.* and it works. Why in some case the simple syntax works and not in some other cases ? Thank...

Hi, I'm using FFS for years and I've nothing to suggest about its behaviour as it's absolutely fine for me. But I'm still proposing to consider changing the general layout of the screen. My reason to suggest this is that I'm using FFS on a laptop with small resolution. So here we are: - At the momen...

The option is back in 9.8, as a checkbox.
Thanks!

"New option to auto-close progress dialog"

Yes I confirm the option is in version 9.4, I don't know why it was removed later. " On completion :" then " Close progress dialog ". :) By the way, why aren't the older Windows available in Archives: https://freefilesync.org/archive.php Still found the version 9.4 there: https:/...

I agree with this. The option previously existed in the sync settings; at the end of a synchro it was thus possible to keep the program open, ready to make a new comparison, without having to close a window of the previous sync. I think this feature was removed in version 9.5. I have a computer in ...

Hmm I guess I didn't read enough. :D "The FreeFileSync Donation Edition may be used and installed by a single user on their computer. This includes installation on portable storage devices (USB memory sticks) and even use on different computers, provided that FreeFileSync was already activated ...

Hi, I'd like to donate. I read the page dedicated to this but I can't find anwer to my question: if I want to use the "donated" edition on 3 computers (used by 1 user, with same name in "C:\Users"), is it the personal or the group policy? It is said "The FreeFileSync Donatio...

Hi everybody, I'm using FFS since several years for both personal and professionnal needs. Last week I bought a NAS and today I realized that the option for moved files ("Détection des fichiers déplacés" in my french version) works perfectly on the NAS disks, which are using in EXT4 file s...
