FreeFileSync Forum

It obviously differs per platform, but for Windows see e.g. [URL].

It would be per machine / account What ever is currently considered 1 licence

Any other ideas on what might have caused this problem?

There it all began [URL]

Better question. . .why so paranoid? They're just search engine crawlers, and very helpful when searching for a topic. They are not crawling all over you. You aren't getting bugs.

@monica hmmm. do you launch FFs (1) [Attachment] or do you launch a Batch (2)[Attachment] or a Job??? For me after deleting last job, and closing FFs, when I reopen it there is nothing.(3)[A...

Ok an update: I narrowed it down to an issue in handling of ntfs drives in the latest ubuntu lts (20.04), kernel 5.4.0, using ntfs-3g FUSE driver. Creating any file with ":" and "|" etc on t...

Symlinks should be fully supported and working.

Good news. After FFS copied all the files over to gDrive again - subsequent runs of the job only process updates as expected. For some reason, it is erroring on a few files - it says it's tr...

I found what I was looking for!! I am able to set the timeout duration AND the retry count. However, this does not work when a file already exists - it could retry all day, it isn't going to...

[Quote] That doesn't really fully restore the old view though, as I like to see the paths. Unless I'm missing an option somewhere?

Can't you add the shared folder to your Drive? It should be accessible as 'yours' and still be updated by the actual owner

No one is going to opt into seeing an advertisement during installation. That monetary value is so low that it is not worth implementing. Ads don't pay much

Just want to say thanks for this software. I have made a donation but will surely be making another one soon. This is worth every penny. I am a programmer so i know the time that goes into t...

Hey Therube, thanks for your help! Thankfully the scan/compare didn't take longer than 40 minutes, but for academic pursposes: Local is the source, and update is the correct varient like you...

No worries ... just be careful running under a normal user account, it might not always work. That's why I run the service under LocalSystem (which gives the FFS job full administrator right...

Thanks tob9999 sounds like a pretty good service but I want something I can access offline, i.e. no internet. I have thought of something and will give it a try: Move OneDrive to External St...

Did the FFS log-file of the initial (date+size) syncs report any warnings/erros about the seemingly missing files? Note that FFS excludes files, file types and folders that meet one or more ...

When I update the file in my google drive, FreeFileSync will delete or move the old file and upload a new file. But, the new file ID is different from the old one. This will make that the sh...

If you want to continue using different folder names inside your left vs right root location, the only way is to define more detailed left-right folder pairs, possibly in combination with su...

better this way it's an HTML it open in browser directly You are Wonderfull ! Alain

I wish layout was user-selectable, too :'(

Have you previously already installed the non donation edition? Then of course it will replace the free version. Also files in the temporary extraction folder. A downloaded file never starts...

Long ago we had a machine with not enough drive space. Probably months later we found out some folders are empty. Arguing the lack of space caused it. So the moment the space lacking machine...

The *.ffs_db database is not available. That after syncing both sides have the same name is correct. Right now 2 Scenarios: 1. - Choose to delete on side with old folder name and all what´s ...

Was the word-wrap of the log files changed between 9.1 and 10.24? The newest 'Notepad' is now capable of the unix format. But for downwards compatibility it should have stayed for windows ve...

Thanks for the reply!. I just make copies in external drives I attach to my computer, no clouds involved. I'm not using Windows I use MacOS :)

Yes, thanks I did the same reasoning. without that dir, it's working fine. Nonetheless, no idea what I was getting the error for. Alain

I have set up for every 100 processes. So a change to 10 should solve the problem?

OK I'll continue further discussions in [URL].

The file grid has been completely overhauled in FFS 11.0, solving almost all issues that came up after the 10.25 tree view update. I've posted an update on this thread: [URL]

Okay, next FFS version will allow creating such folders again.

[Quote] But there are missing path of folders. It will be super, when in Item Name view will be foders shown with paths...

I think FFS creates temporary files ending with "... ~<session>.ffs_tmp" for synching then moves them to the original file name when successful. So just from my debugging, it copies from you...

For all clarity, and supplementary to xCSxXenon's reply: *.ffs_db files are created and used by FreeFileSync (FFS), and are fully unrelated to RealTimeSync (RTS). @istrauss: your approach ha...

In case of an error or power failure while synchronising, deleting prior copying is finished would create more anger. Make enough space free before you synchronise. You can also delete using...

Hi there, I work in a shipping company and my vessels don't have access to internet at all. Our currently planned maintenance system (PMS) used a simple application tool that sends come XML ...

Hi I have changed the global settings and set the Log File output type to "Text" instead of "HTML". I did this both via editing the settings file directly and via the GUI. This is on the lat...

Forgive me if this has been asked before, or I'm misunderstanding the "time span" option, but... I get the impression that if you're sync'ing 2 folders, even when using indicating a "Time Sp...

Alas, i686 is a different architecture than the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi runs on an ARM architecture (probably armv7 but I can't remember for sure, and it probably depends on which ver...
