Re: FreeFileSync restores deleted files at the target directory
In filesystem like NTFS, each file have a file ID, reside inside the MFT file record of each file, no matter how you change or move the file on the same NTFS volume, the file ID would remain the same. FreeFileSync use the file ID provided by the filesystem and store it into the database file sync.f...

Re: Sync from Google Drive public link
Not directly. But when you go to "Shared with me" while logged in with your Google Drive account, then right-click "Organize -> Add to starred", the folder will be accessible from FreeFileSync.

No, FFS will store the DB files in the left and right folders that are selected on the main dialog.

The MAC address is not transferred online, but it is used to generate a unique "hardware id". This is documented in the privacy policy: https://freefilesync.org/privacy.php

Re: Why is 1 file wanting to be deleted from the Source?
" .ffs_tmp" files are a special case: They "belong" to FreeFileSync. If a new run finds them remnant from a previous sync, they will be unconditionally and permanently be deleted as a cleanup. See "fail-safe file copy".

Re: Install runtime error
Looks like anti virus software is blocking the installation.
Bitdefender is one such culprit.
BTW: FreeFileSync doesn't use .NET and the installer doesn't care about UAC being enabled or not (it does require admin rights, though).

Re: FTPS transfers VERY slow
The problem is that for "multiple threads" to boost transfer times your sync has to process multiple files. If there is only one file, multiple threads does nothing. FileZilla on the other hand splits up a single file into multiple uploads, which is a feature FreeFileSync does not have (at...

Good consideration... That only applies if you are using someone else's open source code in your own project. Correct. And FreeFileSync does not use other GPL-licensed code.

Re: Fileid vs ObjectID for NTFS
Let's see...
File object IDs are supported only on NTFS volumes
But for NTFS we have:
In the NTFS file system, a file keeps the same file ID until it is deleted
Ergo:
Object ID = useless
File ID = perfect as persistent file identifier (on NTFS).

Ordered by increasing fees: bank transfer, credit card, PayPal
Bank transfer isn't free because it's also handled by Stripe, just like credit card.
