You want to set 'exit' for your permanent option for what?
In FFS, you can have a sync configuration run a post-sync command, or you can save as a batch job which provides an option to sleep or shut down the computer afterward. Are these along the lines you are looking for?

Looks like you need 160 free but only have 17.1 available

It seems most correct that it isn't an issue with FFS then.

or a general problem with VSS in Win11

It is more likely a problem with your Windows 11 installation. Run an in-place upgrade / repair install and see what happens

Are you suspecting an issue with Windows 11 because it worked perfectly fine on Windows 10 and stopped working as soon as you used Windows 11? Or are you just throwing noodles at the wall?

Does reverting to a previous FFS version fix this issue consistently?

I still expect unintended consequences and apparently not the only one. My way of doing things isn't "flawed", it's locally adapted to my situation I constantly use leading spaces in file and folder names to prioritize them at the top of lists on macOS You are expecting unintended consequ...

Users don't make mistakes LOL I see you're one of "those users" Using spaces as an organizational method is simply ill-advised and you shouldn't do it. You are literally locking yourself into a flawed way of doing things that is going to cause you problems later. But as you say, there's n...

Did you try using the Windows Task Scheduler?
There you can choose to run tasks based on a given time, but also upon given events, such as startup, login, logoff and shutdown. Plerry, 20 Mar 2024, 13:17

That was my first link but they were unable to figure it out...
Good luck to em I suppose

https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9873 RTS doesn't work when monitoring a Google Drive location. You can have RTS monitor just the local directory, it is up to you to determine if that is sufficient for your use. RTS works fine with an infinite number of files, but the more important th...

Are you sure that the other user added to the correct folder?

You might find it easier to simply write a batch script that runs the FFS sync and then runs the shutdown command after that finishes. Name it whatever, but it would contain two lines: "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\Path\To\Your\FFS\Config\File" and shutdown...

Correct, the limits have be graciously removed as of now

Just a note, it does not explicitly state one way or the other, but Zenju is awesome

can't think of any common reason that some data may not show up when it wasn't deleted somehow Ransomware. (Beside physically changing file contents), often will rename the file *.encrypt. Sure but that is not "data not showing up". That is a different, but valid, concern than what was pr...

There isn't currently a way to define a sync order, other than manual babysitting. For example, only syncing a subset of directories first, then another set, then another, and on and on. Or, running a comparison to gather all changes and selecting what you want in the results to sync 'selectively'. ...

If you click "browse" does it not give you a directory tree to select from?

Can't you change the directory being mounted from "/" to whatever you want?

Based on Myce testing, we found that the consumer version of OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) does not appear to any modify files This is a very important distinction, as it seems the root issue is SharePoint and not OneDrive. https://github.com/29039/29039s-useful-stuff/blob/main/m365-sharepoint-onlin...

In fact, searching the entire forum for anything related to changing size doesn't bring up anything related,which seems like it isn't a common issue

Nothing on that page is officially from Microsoft. The OP is a Samsung app developer and the only response is from "Anonymous". Their response shouldn't be regarded as fact

If you actually read through them, you'll see why it is the way it is and the proposed workaround from the developer so that you can solve your very niche issue. Other people have asked for this in the past multiple times, but they were always dismissed. Asking for it over and over hasn't worked so ...

I do not have this issue with my OneDrive and Office files. I just confirmed with a docx that I saved locally, copied to OneDrive, and then compared the size and SHA-256 results. Files were identical With that said, it wouldn't make sense to add a feature to a sync program that makes the program not...

Good concern to have, as FFS will absolutely copy corrupted data just as well as good data. If a monitored location can't be seen at all, RTS will never start a sync anyway, so no worry there. There is no concrete answer to your question, because as always, "it depends". Why would "no...

In Apple's infinite wisdom, First Aid only reports errors if it detected and couldn't fix an issue

Not a good idea. Way more complicated, if not impossible, and likely more confusing down the road.

Did you 'star' it?

Yep, use multiple folders on the thumb drive, use multiple folder pairs in a single FFS config, and set them to mirror

I have updated dozens of versions and have not lost any settings

If they only show up when syncing with the SFTP location, they must already exist in the other locations you are syncing to. You can use CMD to find and delete these files. There is no risk, if they are in use, you won't be able to delete them. It's not a FFS bug, 100% guaranteed
