Looks correct... I know you can manually change actions in the comparison results. Maybe there was an accident click that changed it? What if you run a compare again?

[Quote] You're welcome! Glad everything is working now. Don't worry about the system account having permissions because it needs to be able to write to everything that you needed t…

This is what the grid usually looks for me when a folder has been rearranged by creating some subfolders and moving stuff to them. Only like 10 files might actually have changed he…

Transfer them manually. They have different content in them but the timestamps are the same so FFS can't know which one is newer to decide which one to keep

You can't install in on your company's fleet without it being used commercially...?

Yes, we've seen this before. If a compare is ran, then data is manipulated, and then a sync is ran, that data manipulation won't be accounted for. Running a comparison queues up a …

What's wrong with building the function into the donate edition and then not releasing it for commercial use? Just because the dev sees it that way, it does not have to be so... as…

I just wanted to add my voice in support of some way to filter out Google formatted files. Filters for *.gdoc or *gsheet and such don't seem to have any effect. On Linux at least, …

Sounds good. Thanks for all of your help!

[Quote] I DID have that much space, enough to save the DB file for 2 FFS runs (source = different folders). I didn't run out of the space until the 3rd run. Thanks for all of your …

I understand what you mean. I don't know either c or python, so I've no clue how hard to add the feature but since the database can compare files 2 by 2, I guess the software may c…

Thanks, I also chimed in over there.

[Quote] Do you know that to be the case? As in if the USB drive hits 85C, it says, "whoa there, time for a timeout!". Is it possible that the drive has cached data, that it needs t…

Fixed! It will be necessary to remove the GlobalSettings.xml file one, though: [URL]

Use the NAS for Time Machine?

Thanks for your patience with me. I installed the Donation edition successfully.

Auto-Delete "sync.ffs_db" after disabled in the settings from the folderpair?

The sorting method you apply to the Compare results does not affect the syncing sequence.

Thanks for your reply, and I apologize for my long delay in responding. What do you think of having FreeFileSync write `LastRun.ffs_gui` to the same folder as `GlobalSettings.xml`?

Respectfully, the response to the original question is useless. The user already stated that pressing the down arrow button minimized the window. Zenju restates this (removing any …

I often want to restore from backup only the files with a specific TAG. Would be nice if it would be implemented! I use MAC OS. Thank you.

[Quote] This is possible with FreeFileSync 13: The new "Update" variant using a database is equivalent to Synctoy's "Contribute": [URL]

Thanks so much!

FreeFileSync already has this function, but it's a warning, not an error: "WarnSignificantDifference"

It wasn't possible before, but now that FreeFileSync 13 has just released, there is finally a version that can be licensed and used by businesses (including an invoice): [URL]

[Quote] Yes, SFTP is TLS-encrypted, and so is everything that is sent over the SSH connection. [Quote] This is so that your coworker doesn't see your password when looking over you…

Oh, so you're not stating that you installed FFS onto 2012, you're asking if it will? Since 2012 is based off of Win8... you might expect current FFS to run on it.

New feature request submitted and cross-linked: [URL]

Would respectfully request the ability to enable/disable an individual folder pair, for convenience when re-organizing storage, trying new settings, etc., without needing to save/m…

Likewise, it would be nice to have an enable/disable button for each fold pair... right next to this new "go" button! Will drop my own feature request for this, but *so* closely re…

[Quote] Well done @LeoW. Now my fight is with automation using password. I found some way to do this, but with a password in the settings not yet. rclone is wonderful too.

Great info! Another option for direct cloud to cloud sync is a utility called Rclone. You can run it on your NAS, and won't need a VM. No Windows task scheduler though. Your soluti…

FreeFileSync always does a full Compare of all Included and not Excluded folders of its left and right base-directory (and their sub-directories). It must do so, because you can fi…

I just felt like thanking for developing this wonderful product! It is so useful.

(If FFS "translated" a character, physically, on the target end, there is still the issue that the source name is not changed, so the next Compare will still find the same file. If…

And in your Comparison are you comparing Project 1\images -> Project 1\images Project 2\documents -> Project 2\documents ... Or are you comparing from some other topmost directory?…

The sync.ffs_db-file (just like the sync.ffs_lock-file, if used) must be in the root of the left and right base-location, because syncs may be run on/by multiple computers to/from …
