THANK YOU very much. I guess I did pay attention the 1st time. Danny

You could set a time-span that only syncs for the last x # of days. Then run a sync every x days

Hello everybody. As far as I understand, "Run command" property in "Syncronization settings" is used to run the specified command on the local machine. Am I right? Is there a way t…

Then select deleted items to be deleted permanently instead of being deleted to the recycle bin. It is in the sync settings of the sync config

When the script is invoked manually, or by anacron or cron, the locale is set to en_GB.UTF-8 (the UK default), irrespective of the user invoking it. When it is invoked by 'runuser'…

That is exactly what *.ffs_gui files are for ... So, don't save your sync as a *.ffs_batch file, but as a *.ffs_gui file. You can still invoke such sync from a command line. And if…

I think it would be useful to make an optional column to show file size difference.

That's why I said not all networks work the same too. I have 10Gb LAN and once it hits the large amount of small files, it will drop to about 8.5Gb. If I use multiple threads, it d…

That is showing that there are difference. It is showing that each side has a copy of the same files that doesn't exist on the other side. I agree with therube, there has to be som…

Now a update for FolderSync is available.

(Just to note, I'd expect [URL] to be faster yet. I use a [heh, very] simple batch file to compare [particular] files [selected from with my file manager or from [URL]. [Code] )

Hi: I have Windows 10 & FreeFileSync, version 11.9 [donation edition], 64-bit. When I run a sync job, the pop-up window always shows up in the middle of the main window. It would b…

Hello, This may have been considered before, but perhaps worth bringing up again: Would it be feasable to introduce an option to compress and encrypt target files and directories w…

No [URL]

I think that applies only to files that have a modification time earlier than the selected value. I would like to have the same function but for files older than the selected value…

Not the right thread. Your sync isn't starting at all, most likely not able to make the gdrive connection

What if you click "browse" and re-select the locations?

The progress indicators still update, so how could you think something is wrong? This would be problematic are more and more threads get used also

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 usi…

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…

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 …

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

(I'll just note that [URL]. [URL].)

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 …

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 …

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

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 an…

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 showe…

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

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 hop…

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 opt…

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 …
