FreeFileSync Forum

[Quote] I have to correct myself on my comment, specifically on the above portion. @xCSxXenon: I knew we could count on you and I would've been disappointed otherwise. As always, t…

Unfortunately, no.

I believe the drive must be accessible in order to determine the drive letter from a given volume GUID.

[Attachment]Is there a resolution for this problem? I'm using Ubuntu 24.04. I like the interface of FFS quite a bit, but on a 4K screen with 150% fractional scaling, the icons are …

Ok..thx.

Hello, I use FreeFileSync to backup files from my Windows 10 to a NTFS external drive connected to a QNAP. I use sFTP protocol to copy files and I get an error everytime I try to t…

[Quote] Correct, but threads are very rarely going to result in a speed improvement. They only help artificially throttled transfers

I do enjoy your first set of suggestions. I have definitely found myself juggling around paths to order them in a more concise way. Adding pair above/below would be sweet

Most people only have one account. It's completely FREE if you have one account of each type. I've already added two different clouds.  I was able to use FFS to synchronize files b…

I have not actually used these, except for Mega for 1 quick test. I cannot speak to the performance. You will need to try and see if it works well enough for you. Clouds supported …

[Quote] The solution to robocopy is simple. Limit each transfer to 1 source and 1 destination. Make 3 separate transfers. Then, schedule the transfers in task scheduler such that t…

I periodically, haphazardly, compare files for "exactness". There have been times that files did not compare - which I find very odd. And I make notes (haphazardly ;-)) of such occ…

Thanks.

I just encountered this issue. I think the current behavior is unexpected. The destination folder should be completely determined by the mirror rules. I excluded some folder to sav…

[Quote] Ah yes, input from another person who wasn't happy when I requested accurate and useful information in an effort to assist them. Thanks for the advice pal Since you only wa…

Hello, I would agree with rgreat. There are many reasons for using freefilesync I'm sure and you know better than me the most frequent usage. However, to sync my desktop and laptop…

Thanks. I didn't know something like this already existed. I searched the manual. [URL] And found about "Customize context menu" at "Menu → Tools → Options → Customize context menu…

Just want to upvote this request. Currentrly I have to use selfmade script to move files older than 3 months to archive location. In my logic I use MAX(lastWrite, Create, LastAcces…

Yes, that is the size issue. When you use text transfer, the windows version gets \r\n and the linux server just \n. [URL] I'm just FTPing into inmotion. I do this by creating an F…

Ah yes, the best business strategy: Drive small-time and open-source developers, along with their users, to your competition SMH, do I smell OneDrive integration on the horizon? ;)

I always use the Time Stamp [File] variant of Versioning, not the Time Stamp [Folder] variant, as you apparently do. But according to the [URL] both Versioning variants retain the …

It should be super strange if they won't have an API for getting hashsums, that's basic stuff, and they show it in GUI, and the official GDrive client absolutely use it... Anyway, …

[Quote] I'm glad to hear that! :D You wouldn't believe it, but there have been voices in the past that called the FFS GUI "antiquated".

[Quote] No, that's your superstition ;)

Nothing in the logs. Finally, I just renamed the sync.ffs_db to sync.ffs_db.old and now I when thru the sync normally.

Haha, please disregard my final comment above and disregard this request. It was late at night here when I wrote it and I woke this morning and realized the absurdity of my request…

That's just normal behavior. You can select any folder for versioning, doesn't matter if local, (S)FTP, MTP, or Google Drive: [URL]

[Quote] Could you post a screenshot? Otherwise it's impossible to know what exactly looks confusing with the current GUI. [Quote] FFS-specific macros, either global or per-configur…

My FreeFileSync.exe got neutered. Just noting... Somehow, my My FreeFileSync.exe got neutered, ended up changed. +A Attribute set (where it had not been before), & size set to 0 by…

Your picture suggests: • You have run the sync previously, at the end of which both sides were in sync. • You have since then removed the right-side folders Business\HDR'd and Hong…

I had the same thing, all white backgrounds. I fixed most of them by switching my GTK theme from BlackMATE to Breeze-Dark . A couple other dark themes looked good, too, but I prefe…

I'm sorry you feel that way. At no point in my posts was I rude. I wrote a neutral statement saying "Sorry, I'm not looking for workarounds-" and when you insisted nonetheless, I r…

Woohoo, glad it's working

This is intended behavior. Clicking the sync button only runs a comparison once. Once a comparison is run, the results are used for the sync until another comparison is run, no mat…

Did you checkmark "Use database file to detect changes" in your [URL]?
