FreeFileSync Forum

And you also missed my reference on how to properly insert comments in XML files. Although still, I don't expect even proper XML comments to be preserved after a (re)save in FFS (presently)....

> However I thought that there is some core solution in FreeFileSync. As the name suggests, FFS is a sync tool, not a move tool. And just moving a file is not a task that makes much sense in...

When we upload an existing file to google drive by a browser like Chrome, it will create a new revision of that file. And, the ID of the existing file is still the same. I think that it is v...

i re-install FreeFileSync and now is working

(First, many thanks to developers for FreeFileSync) Not sure this improvement has been requested. Sorry if it is a duplicate. I often found annoying there is no "Delete the configuration fil...

would please add compress function to it. so as to save disk space. thank you!

OK, thanks for the reply. I will try the NAS-way and see if I can make a decent temp solution. Take care… /Per

That is the current solution. See here for more info: [URL]

Even now with the current version (11.1) the "Last Sync" date is periodically not updated.

Hello, I think FFS is terrific and I have been donating for years. Unfortunately I am visually impaired and I find the tree view very hard to see. Can I get a version with an option to show ...

Ooops, my bad! I realize now that I should have pointed to the location where I keep my custom sounds INSTEAD of copying them to the resource directory. !!!

Hi, One of the features I like best about FFS is being able to have it auto retry when comparing/syncing. However, I often run very large uploads to Gdrive on a connection with very slow upl...

Tests made on linux Mint-20 cinnamon. This command works: [Code] And this command does nothing: [Code] Anyone a hint why? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for getting back... I was using mirror... my trash seems to be working but I think you might be onto something with that link... I've since (nervously) run the most recent update and ...

This is doing exactly what I wanted. perfect, thx so much

FreeFileSync (FFS) is definitely a serious candidate here. First, define a sync in the FFS GUI on a test-set of files and familiarize yourself with FFS, its interface and its working, and in...

Hi Zenju. I just read through your Vision message (2014?) which explained your philosophical thinking on the creation of FreeFileSync when interviewed by SoundForge. I just want to take a mo...

When creating a new file or folder, can the permissions set by sftp be changed to inherit the permissions of the parent folder?

It would be really nice if selecting another configuration/session (left panel) would not clear the search result, or at least show some warning. Had the unfortunate case where it simply wip...

I discovered that if I put the detached window back into the FFS main window (Reset layout) and then detached it again, then FFS handles the configuration box as a modal window well. But if ...

Thanks for this new release 11.2, the vertical lines in display are not bad. But I'm a little bit sad to see that directory icons are forced on display even if I choose a "without icons" dis...

Thanks! I will set it and try :)

(Depending on the number of sets you are adding, you can drag the "splitter" between the folder sets & the Compare results box, down, temporarily even, to give you greater visibility to the ...

(In the year 2020, & we're still running into Path length issues. In addition to path, in total, there is also a "path segment" limit of 255 characters. So you can't have a file name [itself...

You were right Zenju, I checked on the original Linux station (HDD1 and HDD2, known as F:\ and G:\ on Windows, are two backup disks that I update remotely on a Windows station) and there are...

Hello, also looking into synchronizing quicky two folders with many files (160000) but only twice a day. Currently using jfilesync which is not realtime but fast to find the changes (because...

I would like the file time and size of all copied, deleted and replaced files to be added to the log (in addition to their names).

[Quote] Variable drive letters are also supported by RealTimeSync. [Quote] FreeFileSync distinguishes two types of paths: 1. whatever the user enters, e.g. %AppData%\Thunderbird 2. the resol...

Thanks Zenju. At least I know it will come one day, that's nice. For now I tried the workaround @Pierry gave me : what a massive difference ! But a hell to manage when using manually, creati...

Thanks from my side as well - @Zenju, I appreciate your quick and proactive reaction to this discussion thread.

Hi, Can you please update the chocolatey package of freefikesync to the latest version (11)? Now the current version is outdated and It will make the life much more easier for IT Staff if yo...

FFS is a sync program, what you want to do is not really a sync. What you can do is run 'update' which which not delete files off the destination, even if they don't exist on the source, the...

You can use [URL] to launch FreeFileSync upon e.g. connecting USB resources.

Good luck! Although it looks pretty similar to FFS in use
