FreeFileSync Forum

I'm using FFS like you and I have never encountered your issue. Did you run SpaceSniffer as administrator? I mean right-click, run as administrator. Did SpaceSniffer opens a window listing files it can't access? If so than you are probably not running it as administrator. Did you have found "un...

Take a look at others with the same issue:

If the sync setup is from two folders in the same OneDrive account why the OneDrive folder names you have given are different? A typo? Give us the true error message, censoring with more care, and telling us clearly what you have censored. The Windows username under which you are running the sync is...

I'm using the free version, the latest version, installed from the Google Play store.
No need to "root" the phone.
When I say Root I mean the app option to set the Root folder, that in your screenshot continue to say "Internal memory" but should say "/".

Set Root folder to \ then stop and start the app.

Yes, root folder \

Then stop and start the app.

Then scroll down to "storage" and open it.

Choose \ in the app settings as mounting point, then you will find your sd card in the storage folder.

You have two different FFS sync configurations: 1) one for documents (and picture files?) 2) one for emails Sync 1) works without issues. Sync 2) generates connection drops. Probably the issue is related to the number/dimension of the files involved. What version of FFS are you using? Try updating t...

They probably generate different traffic type.

What's the name of your email client?

If it is Microsoft Outlook, for example, the mails are contained in a few files that can be very big, and this generally can generate the wi-fi issue that you are experiencing.

Hi Linda,

your issue looks like a wi-fi issue.

In my experience, cheap wi-fi routers can't manage flawlessly big data transfer like those probably required by an FFS sync.

Try connecting both pc to the router by cable and see what happen.
Be sure to disconnect them from wi-fi.

This is my setup:

- Samsung Galaxy A5 2017
- no mobile data
- hotspot
- WiFi FTP Server or Primitive FTPd
- Windows 10 Pro
- FFS 11.6
- pc connected to phone hotspot

Both apps starts and works as expected with FFS.

- port: 2211
- no anonymous access
- username: user
- password: password

Using this app:

WiFi FTP Server
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver

and using my Android phone as a hotspot I have no problem accessing and browsing all folders with FFS.

In the app I have disabled anonymous access and setup a user and a password of my choice.

Are you sure that the OneDrive base folders are "OneDrive - XYZ" and "One Drive - ABC" ?
Two different OneDrive accounts?

What's in the sync logs?

For anyone that is interested. Attached is a screenshot found in the synchronization settings explanation. So folder synching is only supported for certain file system and doesn't happen the first time. It is not "folder syncing" but "detection of moved files" that is only suppo...

If you already use it, you should already know how to set it up.
It is not an easy task to explain in text the abc of NetLimiter.

First try this NetLimiter guide: https://www.netlimiter.com/docs/basic-concepts/limits

In my experience NetLimiter does this but it is not free.

Out of curiosity, why Netlimiter don't work with FFS for you?

Anyway there is another way. Execute this command from a Command prompt opened as Administrator: chkdsk X: /r Note: replace X: with the drive letter of the disk you want to check Note2: this command may take many hours to complete and once started you should not stop it, the risk is disk corruption!...

Try this: Create the C:\Temp folder and create the file Dummy.txt in it, then execute this command from a Command prompt opened as Administrator: xcopy X:\ C:\Temp\Dummy.txt /s /r /y Note: replace X: with the drive letter of the disk you want to check This command "copies" all files from y...

Take a look at the manual, Variable Drive Letters:

Hi Zenju,

why the file "FreeFileSync_11.0_Windows_Setup.exe" downloaded on July 22 is 15,470,064 bytes and the same file downloaded today is 15,466,904 bytes?

Depending on the software that creates and manage the album art files, those files can be hidden so you should select the option to show hidden files in the Windows File explorer.

You are right, take a look at this discussion:

Run a command on completion

Try adding the full path to where WinMergeU.exe is located.

If you are using the 32 bit version on a 64 bit system:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe"

Otherwise:
"C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe"

Macros?
https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=macros

Rename the file extension to that of the original file and try to open it with the associated program.

My move works, so probably your, try it!
You can then view in details whats done in the log file.

I doubt of a single icon showing a Move because the left and right view of the moved file cannot be on the same row due to the fact than now they are in different folders.
