FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks for your reply. I'm physically connecting an external USB drive to 2 separate PCs, 1 running Windows and 1 running Ubuntu. I'm keeping the documents on those 2 PCs synced with the external drive using FFS. Then I'm also syncing that external drive with another external drive by connecting the...

Thanks, but there is no $RECYCLE.BIN folder on the destination drive (nor, incidentally, on the source drive) and I already have that filter in place on the exclude list (I think it's there by default). The issue I'm encountering is that FFS is creating ITS OWN recycle bin folder on the destination ...

Thanks. I tried both "Recycle bin" and "Permanent" and got errors with both of these. I've just tried "Versioning" for the first time, setting the output directory to a completely separate drive. That also threw up errors but for the first time it finished the actual sy...

I'm trying to synchronise two external USB drives (both exFAT filesystem) on Ubuntu 18.04 but I keep running into this error: Freefilesync error 22.02.20.png I've run a disk scan (via Terminal command "exfatfsck") but the drive reports as having no errors. Any ideas what might be causing t...
