a batch script is more than likely a way better option to do that

Your request isn't very clear. You can 'tag' configs in the top-left panel by color and you can also add notes to a configuration in its respective settings windows. Is this what you are wanting/referring to?

There isn't a way to change how a file is opened with a double-click

I have another question, is there a way to use our own smtp server to send emails ? C80SGEEK, 28 Mar 2024, 08:48

Not possible at this time

Remove the FTP location from being monitored in RTS

I can confirm this behavior. I swear I remember this being address and fixed though, something about disabling the toolbar buttons during any compare/sync process

I want the GUI to exit when the sync is completed. I don't want to select 'Exit' it each time. ineuw, 27 Mar 2024, 18:10

Just save it as a batch job configuration and run it with a shortcut from your Desktop, Start Menu, or wherever else. The you won't even have a GUI to exit

How can I get FFS to not change the time and date of files? FFS doesn't change file metadata, except to correct it. When FFS transfers a file, it will have the wrong modification time, and then FFS corrects it. If FFS can't correct it, something is preventing it. Phones using MTP are a common occur...

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...
