Directories ending with a "." are invalid for most file systems, so this likely isn't an error and is consistent with native functionality

In FFS, there really is no "source" and "destination" since data could be going either way. The way those actions work is by row, then column. For example, your first picture shows: If an item is deleted in the right location, then copy the item from the left side to the right si...

Very complicated explanation. I would first simplify what you are trying to accomplish

Sounds correct. I assume you meant "Task Scheduler", not "Task Manager". If so, your configuration might be set to stop syncing if there are errors, so then the user can read it and choose what to do next. Since user interaction isn't allowed/possible, it must be detecting that t...

If you are logged into OneDrive on both devices, shouldn't it already be kept in sync? There will be some delay of course, but the whole point of OneDrive is to have your data synced up between devices

For the smartphone, MTP is likely they root issue, and MTP sucks

For the USB drive, it could have failing NAND, failing controller, or the VeraCrypt layer is causing an issue.
How you tried with another USB key with a new VeraCrypt setup?

Set deletions to be permanent in the sync settings or figure out a way to get access to the Recycle Bin on the network device. It likely doesn't have one though

FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit, is the possibly your issue?

Your response to my post is, in fact, how I also understood it. I may not have worded it correctly, as more specifically it is almost a local setting under a local sync-pair. We seem to be in agreeance

Sounds like OP is requesting that each location have its own versioning path, and then deleted/overwritten files would go to the locally specified versioning path instead of the global one configured for the configuration. Similar to how global and local filters work now.

Isn't this intended behavior? It sounds like OP wants to monitor multiple locations and have a sync fire off if any one becomes mounted, and not all will be mounted at a time. But RTS doesn't work unless all monitored locations are accessible. I looked here: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic...

Running just a comparison between two locations in FFS will show you the differences between the two

VeraCrpyt has been known to cause that issue

Would the FreeFileSync team have more leverage than individuals like me in getting these issues addressed? dwhutton, 23 Apr 2024, 18:23

No. Compared to Google's size, neither an individual or a program-community our size is even a blip on the radar

You were sent a unique link to your donation edition download page, you have to use that

No

As long as you reinstall your donation edition, yes

Reinstall. As long as you didn't save your configurations in the program directory, the configurations will remain. You may have to re-open them at the worst. Make a backup of them if you're concerned

To be honest, the need to keep that timestamp intact is incredibly rare. The positives that come with these features severely outweigh the consequences for 99.99% of users and uses. as like everyone else I use timestamps to observe when directories where last changed I don't use them. File modificat...

1) Nothing special. Use the same FFS configuration setup and the same locations, should be fine. 2) No, FFS doesn't include any 'duplication detection' features 3) Versioning is per-configuration. Not sure what a basket is referring to, it may be worth clarifying your terminology to be more accurate...

You should only have the hostname/IP entered for the server location and then you select a directory to 'mount' from below

This is most likely because FFS uses a database file to track changes in a location. The file is read from and written to during a comparison/sync, thus the folder has been modified and the timestamp is updated. Disable "use database file to detect changes" to test this theory. You likely ...

Please note that I used only the free part of the payed ones. Cause there are so expensive and not sure if thery will recover the files. Or repair it. So if you have some idea on this could be too. As someone who does data recovery professionally, you likely aren't going to get anything back from t...

so the auto-installer is not a thing in the standard version? does it still check for new versions to notify me? then if I check for a new version through the website and download the .run file myself, what is the process for upgrading to the new version? I cannot verify if it still checks and noti...

auto-updater: I do not see any auto update, it only tells me an update is available and asks me to press yes to install. does this mean that the normal edition does not even tell you there is a new update? parallel file copy: does this refer the experimental multithreaded feature that usually uses ...

Hi I logged in after so many months, and saw that I have not had this topic closed for some reason even though your answers were very helpful and fixed my problem back then. mods please close this thread, I do not seem to find the option to do so. sorry for the necro. Since this is a forum and not ...
