FreeFileSync Forum

Hello, I would really like, if possible, that in the Update synchronization mode, only files on the left side that are not present in any subfolder on the right side would appear. …

Only Occasionally, but If I have an error while doing some sort of File Syncing, I get this transparent window that just will not close unless I do a restart. While a restart is no…

Hi @bob306 For remote access I would recommend the free plan of tailscale. It will give you an IP address for your machine inside your home and another IP address for your remote c…

Plerry, Thanks for the reply. I don't get the option of the lighting bolt because I am running this in Batch mode. So simply put it runs on schedule then presents the dialog with e…

For the purpose in first post of this thread, you need to do a sync with database enabled at least ONCE in FreeFileSync before renaming files, otherwise FreeFileSync would unable t…

Thank you so much for your reply. When I ran Compare, there was only one file that was misaligned. I deleted it from the target and re-ran the sync: at the end of the process, it a…

[Quote] "I've seen online" that torrent clients can preallocate the space and then the files will be considered at the full size, even if they are partially downloaded. Totally doe…

Hi, I try to get a scheduled job running with systemd timer and freefilesync. I've currently stuck with the following error message in journalctl -xe. [Code] FFS does start just fi…

[Quote] Any chance you are on unraid? That’s how i got it to work. Im not that good with docker stand alone.

[Quote] Thank you bgstack15, I didn't notice that the 3.3 was an unstable release, and used the last stable release of wx... I compiled the 3.3 libraries and it worked.

@heinz FFS and what network connectivity you use have nothing to do with each other. I use Rclone with webdav servers every day and back them up with free file sync so I don't know…

Hello, This was the first time I used colors in my configurations and I realized that when you apply a color to a configuration it resort all configurations by their colors, but I …

The only way for me to have a FAT32 formatted card is buying a card reader and connect it to either a Windows PC or Linux PC. Now Windows generally doesn't allow formatting large S…

After seeing a ton of your posts complaining and suggesting, is FFS the right software for you?

You worded your post horribly if you were attempting to provide feedback and direction for the dev. The original post includes two questions: one asking if your steps were correct …

(Suppose something in that regard would only apply where both ends support same methods...)

There is RunWithBackgroundPriority, though different, & not really "interactive", might afford some help. [URL] (What was I doing... hashing a set of files, & simultaneously copy/p…

Devaluating a well reasoned and explained proposal... that's all?

Noticing some things now that I have the full donation version and can use parallel threads. Parallel threads were actually one of my primary reasons for moving up to this version …

[Quote] What is "substantially different"? When does FFS warn: before syncing, or after? [Quote] I know about Versioning - it's something I don't need usually. What I need is mirro…

Thank you for your detailed reply. I think I understand the concepts of FFS and RTS now (already having found the RTS manual :) ). If I get it right, my idea of a "delayed (and man…

I have a suggestion for a new feature in FFS: Separate settings for parallel file operations during comparing and syncing. Currently I change this setting frequently for high value…

I think I've found the solution. The definition of the remote SMB share was wrong. In typical, illogical Linux fashion, the share has to be: v/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=a…

Thanks, Plerry. As with so many things in Linux especially, it came down to a question of permissions. The NAS was incorrectly mounted, so that root was owner, not me. As soon as I…

I'm a Chinese user. The connection to Google Drive failed. Prompt: Unable to connect to Google Drive. CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Connection timed out after 10016 milliseconds [curl_…

Thanks for confirming that. I also found that double-clicking the red RTS icon in the taskbar causes RTS to show the RTS GUI after it stops the current sync. Then I can run the FFS…

I guess there's now a cookie set, 1 wk?, such that during that period, you don't need to (again) go through clouflare. That's an improvement :-).

Hi! Currently, during sync, there're 2 real-time graphs. Both graphs currently show the same gray projection line, which predicts completion based only on current data transfer spe…

I don't think that kind of write caching is common, the kind where you have an actual separate ssd to buffer writes, but even then you could just measure how busy the drive is as s…

Thank you for your answer. When managing multiple devices, can the license period for each device be managed separately? If I purchase the first unit on January 1, 2025 and the sec…

good idea, especially for working with large files.

Rsync is a very difficult app to use in comparison. I understand that you're fixated on using a UNC path and not a drive letter being mapped to that UNC Pad but why don't you give …

[Quote] I encountered this my first time using the tool. The way it works is somewhat counter-intuitive given the literal definition of a "mirror" is to make the source path look l…

Thanks for the reply. I think, looking at the final post of that thread, the answer to my question is no.

[Quote] The "problem" description in your initial posting clearly indicates you have no clue how to use the combination of FFS and RTS. And that is exactly what is explained in the…

[Quote] Most users are idiots. My response didn't indicate that at all, but it is true. [Quote] I know how to use this software better than you do, so chances are my assumption fro…

[Quote] You double posted, I'm assuming by accident, so I was linking the other thread from here. Please, don't reply to this thread, as it would off-topic from the already duplica…

thanks for your answers! yes i meant a filter for the configurations not for profiles, sorry... Something like that would be fabulous - just as a suggestion: [Attachment]

I suspect that system dark mode became active while FFS was running, which isn't supported. An app restart will fix the color glitch.

You nailed it. Thanks. I swear I searched for it before coming here. If I can execute one of the suggested fixes easily, I will. Otherwise I’ll keep doing the Filter’s TimeSpan win…

On the left, under the Configuration section, there is the Overview section with expandable/collapsible folders, may be this is what you are looking for. [Image]

It's a known limitation: [URL] [URL] [URL]

On [URL] , you find the most recent source code, presently [URL] On [URL] you find the source code of all previous versions, down to version 1.0

I would find option 3 very useful, so clarification on this query would be great. Thanks

3. In the sync settings (F8) you have the option to "Run a command" respectively "on completion", "On errors" and on "Succes". I believe you can only use one of those three (but ne…

First, I like this program a lot. (In fact, I made a donation.) Recently, I upgraded a couple of PC's so they can run on Windows 11. These are used only for backup purposes and run…

You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to start an FFS job at a specified time (or a *.bat job). See [URL]. You can not configure FFS to only run for an X amount of hours. However,…

I believe that this is a bug. I have spent a lot of time without success. • When using FFS/RTS on a Google Drive folder that contains some files that are made available offline (ke…

Oh no, that sounds frustrating! It's like you clean your room but it still looks messy, right? So, even though you've deleted files, it might seem like your Google Storage is still…

I understand that there are alternatives ([r]clone, airlivedrive, WebDAV, ..) to a direct FFS connection to OneDrive. However, the tools typically require local admin rights, and W…
