Re: Empty folders on mirror side
Correct! FFS creates folders in the destination (mirror) location to duplicate the folder structure of the source location in the destination (mirror) location, as far as necessary to copy synced files into. Conversely, FFS does not remove folders in the destination (mirror) location upon such folde...

It is not clear where exactly you stand now in terms of definition of left- and right-base-locations and include and exclude filters. Possibly you are making some (in hindsight) obvious mistake.

Re: Real Time works randomly
Your notion of how RealTimeSync works seems flawed. RTS does e.g. not "run every 30 to 20 seconds". The Manual page explains how RTS works and what it does. Particularly the last paragraph explains the meaning of the Idle-time. A Windows update might impact what is written where and how often. If su...

Re: [Feature request] Switch Filter Priority
What you describe above does not seem to be a "first do this, then do that" approach, but instead a re-definition of the de-facto industry-standard that an asterix ("*") stands for any number (including 0) of arbitrary characters, so including a slash ("/") or backslash ("\"). Your proposal seems to...

Re: [Feature request] Switch Filter Priority
There is no priority in the filter rules, so nothing can be reversed from allow-deny into deny-allow. As per the relevant FFS-manual page : "Files and directories are only considered for synchronization if they pass all filter rules. They have to match at least one entry in the include list and none...

In other words:

Re: Mirror vs 2-way Synchronization
As you describe your needs, you should use the Mirror variant. To the extent that you do not exclude items from the sync, this will result in the Target containing an exact file level copy of the Source after an FreeFileSync (FFS) sync. The only limitation is that folders deleted from the Source, bu...

The message is pretty clear:
FreeFileSync (FFS) tries to write the files "/Volumes/GREEEN 2TB/sync.ffs_lock" and "/Volumes/MASTER/sync.ffs_lock" but the user under which user-credentials FFS is run does have at least no write-access in those folders.
