Re: Compare by just file time
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...

Re: Compare by just file time
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.

Re: Directory/folder availability check
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...

Re: Showing non-existed and deleted files
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

Re: Showing non-existed and deleted files
Files with a Tilda at the beginning are temp files that didn't get deleted gracefully by the program using them. Your File Explorer isn't set to show these hidden files, but you can change it so you can see them. Just delete them though.

Oh yes, I see! The only option I see currently is to run a comparison, right-click the header above the list of files, and use the 'select time span' option from there. That is obviously not a good long-term solution, as you have to compare all files first. Actually, I am unsure if a date selection ...

Run as admin or change permissions to that location

Re: Dot_
After running a comparison, try right-clicking one of the files and excluding from the context menu. This can provide some insight on the correct syntax as that is likely the issue.

Use Time Machine to back up your OS, it is simply the best option in existence.

Of course, the permissions are there to prevent other users from accessing your data.
You can either run FFS from each account for backups or run FFS using sudo from a terminal.
