FreeFileSync Forum

That is a great point. My current process is to test both files to see which one is working properly and keep that one. I have had one experience like this with FFS, where two file…

You could use the [URL] to create/provide such list of files to be considered for syncing. You can manually edit the Include Filter, or run a Compare, select a file, and via a righ…

Yes ! It's working now. Thank you for your prompt response and your great software.

This doesn't seem possible for FFS

Thank you for the Dark Mode, made donation as well

[Quote] It's the case of Virtual Machine images (eg: VDI, VMDK, VHD...), disk images (eg: IMG, ISO), VeraCrypt containers (.HC). Those are usually several GB and have a fixed size.…

[URL] This was the fix for me - installing Xvfb. I'm on Debian 12 with the latest FreeFileSync, for info. Added it to my own users crontab (not root/sudo) and it now works. Without…

What I was thinking was a checkbox in Options below the "Delete logs after x days" that is off by default that says something like "Don't Save Log If Nothing to synchronise". I cou…

Hello, Would the developers be open to registering freefilesync.org in the Brave Rewards program? [URL] Thanks Dave

So, just what was the issue?

This thread is helpful for preserving the folder timestamps: [URL]

What is available in FFS is [URL]. By proper choice of the From and/or To date, you can achieve all of the above.

Which Linux version is this? The FreeFileSync installer registers the app in /usr/share/applications so it should be found in the application launcher afterwards.

The sequence in which your pairs are listed is not relevant for your sync. It is at best relevant for your own "administration". But, if you still want, you can click the black arr…

Your approach could work. However, I doubt that I can identify a common, unique and available characteristic of socket files, other than that they are socket files. And if the name…

Perhaps start [URL].

Apparently SharePoint can be fixed! This is the real solution rather ignoring something as fundamental as file size: [URL]

Anything every come of that google search? (Some, perhaps much of the highest hits are outright wrong, btw.) I've got something I came up with, but I'm not even certain that is cor…

There is nothing for the user to do. FreeFileSync detects and syncs files/folders differing in case. Unless there are conflicts, as Plerry mentioned.

I understand. Under the circumstances, that's exactly what I want. It would be nice, though, if that was one of the options when setting up a backup, so it could be set up individu…

Better, consistent and centralized promotion of the app among Linux distribution, among other things. I invite you to read the specs.

Been a feature for years and isn't related to RTS, but rather your FFS configuration. FFS doesn't change anything on its own, so somebody was clicking in the configurations setting…

You are talking about two different things. Reading/writing every byte on the disk is referred to as a "refresh". This functionality is best done at a hardware level, not a file-sy…

From the [URL]: [Quote] So, it is OK to have it installed on more than one computer. But I believe there is a built-in check on (excessive) distribution.

Will this ever happen?

No, the "Stop" button interrupts file copying, unlike "Pause", which completes all pending file transfers first. [Quote] No this won't happen (unless you disable fail-safe file cop…

I don't know anything of Dropbox, but does the section on [URL] apply?

Actually, all my testing was done with the free version. As I noted in my original post, the free version is fine for this purpose, but it exhibits the described issue. But thank y…

That was not the issue. If FFS is installed into C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync, and I executed the direct access from the desktop (I suppose it is the 32 version) , ffs can’t creat…

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the correction!

What is you sync'd locally, then encrypted & uploaded? So you sync from /my files/ to /my files to go to cloud/. Then copy/encrypt from /my file to go to cloud/ to /encrypted/. The…

I have created several batch files to synch various directories to different HDDs and I have specified that each batch file runs at different times. It would be informative to me t…

SSDs don't fail in the same way that spinning platters do. Even if a sector scan shows fine, there may be other issues. What does the SMART data show?

You've likely told FFS not to show you that warning anymore. You can reset these flags in the options "Show hidden dialogs and warning messages again:"

[Quote] Isn't that what the logs are for?

@tangofan A creative solution! As you can see, there is often more than one way to skin a cat ...
