Re: How does free file sync deal with corrupted files
That depends how the corruption occurs. If you open a Microsoft Word file in notepad, edit the foreign characters, and save it, it will corrupt the file, but it will still be perfectly healthy as far as the OS and other programs are concerned. If a drive is going bad and a SECTOR has corruption, it ...

Re: Portable Edition without limitation
You need to run the program off of a USB drive. You'll want to put the portable files on the USB drive and open it on your main computer first, to activate.

Re: Error message
This error is saying the data is unreadable or corrupted, correct? If so, you may want to check the settings again to see if "ignore errors" is checked. You may also attempt to create a new sync job and see if it works after that.

If you are running your browser from a monitored folder, it is triggering the sync.

Re: Error Code 5: Access denied [DirReaderPlus]
What are the specific paths that you are trying to sync? Sometimes setting certain protected objects will still deny access with permissions granted. It can also be another program, typically antivirus, that is interrupting the action.
