Re: Is it posseble to kill Google in FreeFileSync?
I haven't run a Wireshark capture or anything, but I would expect that there wouldn't be any traffic FFS->Google unless the feature is used. Based on your request, I assume you don't have any GDrive connections used in FFS? Update: Ran a Wireshark capture while opening FFS. I did not capture any tra...

Re: Is it possible to make FreeFileSync create duplicate files?
You want versioning

You should also consider implementing a proper backup solution. 3-2-1 strategy isn't perfect if we nitpick, but it is incredibly better than the average person has or needs.

Re: Comparison Error
Deleting files doesn't help with regards to this error, because a "file deleted" is also a "change" compared to the time when the last sync ran. Ah, I wasn't aware of this! That could be slightly confusing though, because FFS allows you to set custom actions depending on what ch...

Re: Mehrere Batch Dateien in einer Real Time Sync abspeichern
RTS can run any command you decide to enter. Also, Gdrive locations can't be monitored. Here are my thoughts:

When you save a .ffs_batch configuration, you can run it from the command line or double-click the file you created to run the sync to completion.

Re: Several instances - wrong last backup dates
This has been discussed here before... I see this as potentially viable, but I do see a problem. If you restore or transfer this configuration to another device, FFS will report a list-sync date that wouldn't be correct since it hasn't even been run on that device yet. Or, environments with many com...

Save it as a .ffs_batch file instead. Open FFS, select your configuration, click 'save as batch job' in the top-left, choose the settings you want, and save. Double-clicking a batch configuration will run automatically.

I can only speak on my previous experience with the donation version but try going to the unique URL you got when purchasing. There may be a spot to deactivate the previous license usage allowing you to install it on the new device.

Re: [Feature Request]: Enable "move" even if it wasn't sycned the first time
For every file on the 'source' side, FFS would have to scan every single file on the other side to find the corresponding file. How would FFS know if it is a match though? By file name? No, because maybe you want two files with the same name in different locations. By binary content? Also no, becaus...

Re: Error message I don't understand
You are using 'two-way' syncing, meaning changes on either side propagate to the other. Your issue is that both sides have changed, therefore FFS can't know which side you really want to keep! You can fix these conflicts yourself by deleting the version you don't want, by running a comparison in FF ...

Maybe that file is locked while FFS is running, creating a deadlock.
