FFS is not designed for this kind of tasks, use Syncthing or Resilio Sync to synchronize your computers. All you need is for the computers to be switched on and connected together for what you want to be done without intervention, on any number of computers and even across the internet. On the other...

Thanks for the reply, it does indeed copy the modified files and set 'do nothing' for the others. It only copies the most recent files, that's the right trick for this case. By the way I've only just thought of it, I've tested with a direct copy and the modification dates are also updated at the tim...

Hello I'm having a date problem when syncing on an android phone. When ffs sends a file to the phone, everything seems to be fine, if I resync nothing appears in the list. If I disconnect the phone and reconnect it, then everything I sent appears in the sync list again, because each of the dates of ...

It depends on the number of files. USB Flash Drives have two types of memory: a little bit fast at the beginning for FAT and a slow one for data which produces a lot of latency and retrying to write. When you have too many files, the FAT ends up writing to the slow memory. Each file comes to write t...

Thanks, that's clearer for me. So Everything is based only on reading, not writing, and fine precision is not critical and neither are rights. This clearly explains why Microsoft does not use such an expedient. For information, Everyting does not necessarily claim the right of admin at launch, we ca...

Zenju, you wrote to warn you if we encountered a faster synchronization than yours. That's not exactly the case, since it's not synchronization, but something gave me to think about. In fact I find your comparison speeds amazing, but when I saw the reading speed of Everything software I didn't under...

You should consider using peer-to-peer synchronization software like ResilioSync (proprietary) or Syncthing (open source). The functional difference with the cloud is that you must have two machines on at the same time, or to fully simulate the cloud, have a dedicated machine on h24. I just wrote my...

Hello (this text is translated from French) For my backup strategy, I use Resilio Sync in duet with FFS. It is very effective, I propose it here for those who meet the concern of the cloud. I first use Resilio Sync to solve multiple machine problems for a single environment. I have a home office com...
