Re: FreeFileSync is not free.
The difference between freemium and free is the demographic.

Stop complaining that a ...

Performance enhancement thought... Copy 100K small files (total 10GB) = x Copy 1 large file (total 10GB) = x / 10 i.e. small files copy 10 times slower. One thought would be to take the list of files to copy, sort them by size, and have two copy threads, one at each end of the list. so one thread co...
