FreeFileSync Forum

hi everyone. i'm a longt time user of freefilesync, loving it! Now that i have a NAS with unraid i was wondering if freefilesync could be in the community plugins of unraid too since running freefiles...

Hello, I contact you because I noticed a potential bug. In any case, a strange behavior in my opinion of the software. Indeed, I wanted to compare 2 directories. In this directory, there are identical...

got a quick question in my power options i have my hard drives set to sleep after 30 mins of inactivity what will happen when my batch file runs from task scheduler? will it error out and say the HD i...

Just checked it once more and yes I am using the *.ffs_real file. As well I checked the XML file and it contained following [Quote] (RTS build 11/19/19 - Unicode x64, running on Win 10, version 1909) ...

it was just confusing, that [URL] led to an error in FFS so im´n not sure, if this is just phone related.

first i want to thank all freefilesync coders. i love your product. after years of use i discovered following issue. i had a problem with FTP sync so i dragged the whole phone´s camera folder onto win...

Thanks bgstack15! I hadn't thought about that, as I always compile everything using MSVC, so I'll give this a try and let you know how it works out. I was really hoping for some advice from Zenju on t...

Happy to contribute rather than just complain :) Oh, and for completeness and anyone else interested I've updated my script that may be useful until email is added so here's the slightly updated versi...

It looks like you need a command/shell script around FFS, launching FFS [URL], possibly [URL], and organize the zipping and deletion also from that same (or another) script.

How do I authorize FreeFileSync donation edition in Mac?

Same FFS, but it's the Portable i'm using. Worked using 10.12, but not when i jumped to 10.18. i agree, seems like it shouldn't be FFS. Any suggestions what i might try? i tried recreating the FFS con...

Yeah I guess it would be nifty to have one icon that can pop up a GUI with the currently active monitored pairs and jobs. Having a systray full is clonky

Judging by lack of spam, it's working so far. I can't tell on the back-end how many attempts are thwarted, but if that is offensive enough to the point of never coming back, good riddance and have a n...

True, but having periods on directory names is bad practice in the first place

+1 for this request

"/" not "\". But I tried to recreate it and failed. So did some reading and: [URL] So I tried "\" and voila an example: [Code] So looks like I misread it and it was "\", not "/" silly me. Still, you g...

Ah yes, the other guy had the same problem (didn't find that post earlier). Thank you for the workaround! Yeah changing current behaviour imho doesn't make sense. It's sufficient for most cases. Addin...

Such a simple solution and quick response, imagine that a great program with great support. I'm using the donation version and love it, I'm IMPRESSED. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the Update Zenju and all improvements. Have a stunning day.

Gotcha! If you are explicitly running as non-interactive, you are kind of creating the situation for yourself. You can have the task run "pathToFFS" "pathToJob" which will run it with a tray icon.

If you check the option, it gives you options to decide those variables

+1 Nice job, looks very palatable!

[Quote] In my opinion as said before the COMPARE button should have a job/log info icon, not only when using SYNC button. So, if an user hit a compare button and NO changes are needed, the job/log inf...

We can consider this post solved with the version 10.18. Thank you

O, super, thanx, obviously i missed this feature :).

[Quote] You can disable fail-safe file copy to test this with FreeFileSync.

I would agree with that option as well

Now that I like!

Priority will probably go to the bigger cloud storage options. Considering sync.com isn't even close to the top dogs in popularity, like OneDrive which doesn't have support yet, it most likely won't h...

I confirm, above solution works

FFS 10.14 works on my Raspberry Pi 3 see my replies to trying to compile for raspberry pi (under help) Would love to have an official raspbian (ARM) version of FFS.

[Quote]No. After RealTimeSync (RTS) has detected one or more changes in the specified folders and no newer change has occurred during the RTS idle-time, RTS will launch the specified application, norm...

dark mode +1

[Quote] Thanks for feedback! I think we have a misunderstanding, of course we shall not have an recursive algorithm. I have attached a spreadsheet to describe how it works with an example. [Attachment...

As far as I have seen, FFS looks for a db file in the directories, so if you change the source/detinstion, it won't have one, then will create a new one

See [URL].

You can use FFS for your present/normal sync (but then exclude the vm/vhd files via the Exclude filter). You can copy the vm/vhd files e.g. via a bat/cmd "copy" instruction. This "copy" instruction my...

more threads does not mean faster. Sometimes a single thread is faster. Multi thread is ONLY better when the remote location limits the speed on a single connection.

That is not a sync, therefore FFS is not suitable for that use. You are probably better off moving all the files into directories containing file types/categories ex. pictures, music, jpgs, pdfs, etc....

Maybe a tooltip would suffice
