FreeFileSync Forum

Hi again! I've just completed the 18k file sync, & then to test that it can now detect moved files/folders with changed names I changed the name of one of my folders - but when I go to sync again it still proposes that it delete all the files in that folder & re-copy them to the new folder!...

Oh dear.. It would have been helpful to know that at the offset! But now I guess I should just run the program... Gonna take ages with 18k files!... Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if the second sync I do with a renamed folder/moved file works.

Hi again. I ticked that box but when I press sync it's still showing that 18,000+ files need to be removed & recopied!.... (They're all files that I simply moved/renamed the folders of). Do you know what's wrong...?

Hi Plerry. No, I didn't try that. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it & let you know how it goes. Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with FreeFileSync. I'm not sure if it could be because I need to update it to the latest version.

Basically whenever I change the name of a folder, instead of simply updating the folder name on the drive I am syncing to, it deletes & re-copies that whole folder ...
