FreeFileSync Forum

I was referring to the difference in free discspace before and after the synchronization process has run. For example if I choose to delete files permanently and the synchronization method "...

Hello, First, thanks for FFS, it's a great program :) One thing I miss however, is when you use multiple connections to a media (for example 2 writes at a time), only one file name is indica...

Why using ffs to delete files? - ffs doesn't stop - can handle very long paths - writes a very good log-file - can do that with batch-processing - support Unicode - ... Why not using ffs to ...

ffs runs, and try to sync all the files that should be sync, and writes all in the log. So you have x-thousands log-entries with these errors. And ffs finishes when all the necessary files a...

If the 60GB was there on the left side during the previous run Two-way sync, and was removed from there since then, the FFS proposed action would be correct for a Two-way sync. FFS then simp...

Hi, there. I am using the paid version and in general I am very satisfied with its utility under macos. But I would absolutely prefer a M1.native version, as the current one has some kind of...

current = Include: * Exclude: /.fseventsd/ /.Spotlight-V100/ /.Trashes/ */.DS_Store */._.* */$RECYCLE.BIN/

Would be helpful to have a place to add comments about each file path to remeber things like why some filter was used.

I have the same problem even if the option "Run a command after synchronization" is disabled.

Hi, I'm using sftp to backup some data but I need to to use a local proxy to bypass office firewall using putty I can successfully connect to my backup server using this proxy but I have no ...

Good afternoon; when the synchronizer does not show the processed bytes (it shows 0 bytes), what should I do to remedy it?

With 11.10_beta_macOS, I was able to drag and drop even Japanese folders. Thank you very much.

Can you create a [URL] pml file when using FFS 11.9? This might give a clue what FFS is doing when these "PC_NAME$" log entries are generated. Please also provide a matching Samba log file f...

FFS does not perform any virus scanning. Microsoft Defender is the most likely cause, check the history in there.

You can increase/decrease the number of devices by following the URL shown in the error message.

Yes it was, it worked with no trouble today ;o)

Ok. Thanks. I missed it. EDIT: First time I need to do full copy. This options work only for future updates.

This is the only thing missing in the software in my opinion! It can be usefull when testing paths in a batch with multiple paths. In addition, we could need this to remove a path from the b...

Hi, Does anybody know any alternatives for FreeFileSync, which support these features: - Windows host, - Reliability!, - Google Drive as a cloud, - Batch processing, - Encrypted uploading to...

In "Synchronization Settings", when using "Two way" sync variant (or even "Custom", sometimes) it makes sense to choose different option for the "Delete files" setting, for left and right fo...

I understand, but it would be useful. At the moment i found a not perfect way to rename a file. I take from ffs the path and then open a AutoHotkey gui to rename the file. Then i exclude the...

I think you misunderstand me, or maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. The "All subdirectories of the base directories" example, i.e. the filter phrase "*\" allows me to exclude i...

Thanks very much xC... That was my first line of attack, but I couldn't actually find the folder. I finally realized I had to unhide protected operating system files. It then showed up. I de...

Sorry. I have given up. I have decided to install the freeware version on all my systems and forget about the donation edition. Thanks for all.

This is to prevent the "hack" to install FFS on a new system, and to immediately delete the entry after that. Then repeat.

Thank you for your sacrifice OP

[Quote] In my opinion,I think it's possible when user want to overwrite the previous file in google drive website. They don't notice that Google Drive create the file with same name with ver...

Dark Theme please. Let's give a fresh, moderm and eye saving Dark look to FreeFileSync. Dark Theme is the future and more than that protect eyes. I have Dark Theme on everything I can both o...

Aha! I appreciate the reassurance Zenju. I wondered why there were two processes listed but I figured it was the other way around. Problem solved Thanks again for your help. (I hope it isn't...

+1 for this suggestion, because I am also using FFS on one PC. With cheaper prices I will definitely donate to support the project.

Since I'm getting more and more configurations, it would be great to have a dialog allowing more colors to select for a configuration background. [URL] ([URL]) I know about the option to man...

That was my next guess actually. I have seen others on here with the same problems caused by the NAS. For what it's worth, building your own NAS built on even Windows or something more purpo...

[Quote] Yes, thanks, that's what I thought. [Quote] Lovely, that's amazing! I didn't know the part of multiple left/right pairs. Now I get what the global and local filters are about. Wow, t...

Hello Guys, since several years I've kept successfully synchronized my two Mac computer, but I have just a question: before start process, if I don't reselect, by browsing, my macbook (on th...

I see your point. My proposed process indeed is only useful if the remote site is to be kept updated only. It does not work in the other direction at all. I also totally agree with you that ...

[Quote] At first I was convinced it was my mistake, now your words make me think of a change to report, but I don't know if I can do it, and in which discussion to insert the request. Thanks...

Thank you, apologies for the delay in replying. This has been happening for some time now, but your answer helps me to understand more about the issue.
