FreeFileSync Forum

THank you @xCSxXenon, did not know these features and the colors are much better than the notes in "Personal Backup".

Hello Zenju,

I saw in a blog a screen shot of a backup tool called "Personal Backup".
The URL of this tool: https://personal-backup.rathlev-home.de/

I just had a look at the website and the screen shots there.
Here I saw, that users can add comments in the list of backup jobs (you see it in the ...

On the FreeFileSync Website I found some more information about the portable version .

The portable version is only available for users of the donation edition :

@mahmoud
I pay the recommended fee (20 Euro for one year) because FreeFileSync is my ...

Hello,

I am using FreeFileSync Donation Edition for many years now.
Now I consider switching from the installed version to the portable version.

Are there any limitations in the Portable Version of FreeFileSync?
Are the settings (not the sync profiles) stored in the folder of the EXE?
Is there ...

Thank you @Zenju, really apprechiate that!

Understood.
Meantime I saw, that 60% of my apps, that are offered in the Microsoft Store, are the "normal" Win32/Win64 apps (that will not be updated via the Microsoft Store).
Only 40% are "real" Microsoft Store Apps.
So this is very sad!

Any feedback for this idea?

Hello,

I recognized that more and more apps are available in the Microsoft Store (on my PC there are 20 apps available, what is a lot).
This also applies for popular apps and "system integrated" apps like Virus Scanners.
Here some examples:
• Keeper
• Spotify
• Mozilla Firefox
• Discord
• Skype ...

I am also using WinGet to install applications and to keep my installed applications up-to-date.
Unfortunately FreeFileSync is not available on WinGet, so I requested it on GitHub:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/57900

The official answer from WinGet was:
Blocked due to no silent ...

Hello,

I have uploaded a file to a SFTP server and deleted the file locally.
Then I recognized that I have to rename the file on the SFTP server.
This is unfortunately not possible in FFS.

So either I download the file (sync it to my PC), rename it and upload it again.
Or I use an FTP client, log ...

OK, let me ask my question a bit more precise:
Is this information taken from any help article or support email, or is this your personal recommendation (you found the solution for this problem)?
Thank you for sharing this info!

I also want to say thank you for FFS, that I use nearly daily.

I compared many other sync tools, and many of them do not allow to add two or more folder pairs in a sync job (so when I want to backup my data to two external HDDs I need to create two separate jobs here and also modify excluded files ...

Where is this information taken from?

Hello,

it would be very handy to see the upload speed (like "2.3 MB/sec") when uploading files to FTP/SFTP.
Please consider this in future development.

Best regards

Thank you for your answer, but I am not using email notifications.
But as I wrote above: I would love to get a longer period when I am using FreeFileSync on just one device.

Hello @Zimmster,

Just to get your suggestion right:
When the donation period expires, I should continue using FreeFileSync without paying (ans hopefully without any limitations).
And when some weeks later a new version of FreeFileSync is released, I simply donate 1 US$ to get the new donor version ...

Hello @Zenju,

will you consider cheaper prices (or a longer time period for the same price) when users buy only one license?

Best regards

OLLI

Hello,

I am using FreeFileSync for many many years now and I always bought the Donation Edition (€20 per year).
This licence can be installed on 3 different machines.

But I am using FreeFileSync only on one PC (to make a backup of my data to an external HDD).
So I am suggesting, that you offer ...
