FreeFileSync Forum

I don't think FreeFileSync uses `cp` in its backend (as a sub-process), rather a library that does system calls directly. Haven't noticed this feature being implemented yet but I could be wr...

[Quote] That's a good question, and unfortunately I don't have a great answer. Technically it's basically impossible to detect deinstallations, except when going crazy and implementing somet...

Why no answer, please? Nobody knows? Is it a stupid question?

Hello, i have a Microsoft Hyper-V Server with some virtual Linux and Windows Machines running. Now I would like to Backup the Hyper-V Storage Files to a FreeNAS Storage. Can I do this whith ...

A few days ago, I thought maybe I could modify the source code to add new features for the Windows version of the FreeFileSync and I started my adventure on compiling the source code for the...

I've been using the FreeFileSync for quite some time on the Windows platform and it really helped me a lot to maintain the backups of my documents! Many thanks to the developers! As the time...

I agree with the others. Parsing html ist complicated. I check the logfile filtering errors, making a small result-log and so on. Sending html Logfiles per mail can be blocked from some mail...

@Zenju, thank you. When I can recreate this, I'll come back with more info. I don't know what else could be causing what I saw. The modify times and file sizes were the same (when viewed wit...

Hello again: Prefacing this again with any apologies due (I realise how it must look for a noob to come in and say the project stinks...), I've been looking into this a bit. I'm happily usin...

Hi Limex, I'm using Total Commander with OneDrive, and it works well. The only problem is that the upload speed is 2.5 MBytes/s (I've a fiber-optic connection)... very slow. What about Beyon...

I have two external drives (named "A" and "B") which I alternate between when I backup. When I plug either in, it mounts to /media/user/A (or B). I do my backups this way so I can have a lit...

Hi, This is an amazing tool! Though, i'm running into a couple of difficulties and i'd like to check if there is a solution/workaround or if it can be fixed/added in future versions. 1- Goog...

Update 2: I tried to run FFS with elevated permissions and now the copy operation works. Obviously, this is not something I would like to do as a norm. Any hints welcome Best regards, Vaclav

I would also like such a feature. Automatic conflict resoulution based on timestamp. Could be a simple checkbox in the settings page, if the user selects 2 way sync. Would be very useful ind...

Excellent, thank you! (y)

On one of the devices I uninstalled the donor version, but the website shows that I am still using it in 2 places. How do I delete the donor version I uninstalled?

[Quote] I've updated [URL]

That's a decent idea, thanks.

Do you have some more info about how this can be reproduced? Is there something particular about this machine?

Hi, it works now. You are right, in the second sync there are only conflicts left, so FFS doesn't have to distinguish between a conflict and an updated file. That solves the problem for me. ...

Is it possible to add text notes to a sync job? I would like to describe the job (e.g. backup of all photos) as well as describe the filters (e.g. no previews, current catalog, plus archive)...

Is it possible to sync to Onedrive account?

Maybe you've set up an excessive amount of parallel operations?

I'm getting an Android TV and hope to be able to automatically sync video drive between the TV and my Mac. Is there a preferred way to do this via FreeFileSync (on the Mac, at least)?

Well I tested a 3rd RSS reader, this time in Firefox and it shows [URL] feed fine. Very odd that all my other RSS feeds show fine in Chrome and standalone RSS feeder but not this feed. Liter...

Migrating from Mac-compatible volumes to Windows-only volumes: on the source there are files with leading spaces (or even double leading spaces) which aren't copied to the Windows-destinatio...

Hi ! Is it possible to see last full sync time in left configuration pane (name, last session) ? If not it would be great having this as information. Some backups takes a lot of time and so ...

I used to claim FreeFileSync as the ultimate estimator of time left to finish. Microsoft is always way off and continues to update its remaining time throughout the process. All of a sudden,...

OMG, thank you so much! I'll give this a try today! I really appreciate your help! =D

+1 I came to the forum to see if there was already a thread about collapsible folders and—viola! There is! It's very often important—especially when thousands of files are involved—to be abl...

[Quote] Nice, have to test it out :) Thanks Best Regards

[Quote] On some Linux systems (sometimes even depending on the version number, e.g. Ubuntu), Samba shares just work out of the box, via the magic of "GIO", on other systems you have to mount...

[Quote] The best part is there's no configuration needed! You just enter the email address in sync cfg, and you're done! The target audience are users who don't want to (or can't) fiddle wit...
