FreeFileSync Forum

After almost 40 years as an accountant, this has to be one of the silliest arguments / discussions I've witnessed. My email notification / thank-you's / receipts / invoices, provid…

Elchico, this may be too late to be of use but... I have two NAS's, a QNAP and a Terramaster. I found that to do a direct NAS to NAS file transfer I needed to use Rsync. It runs on…

[URL] and [URL]

Thanks. I answer with much delay since i didn't get notifications by mail. This solution is more complicated because I would have two manage 2 folders. But I understand I have no o…

That can be done in the config settings for the sync itself instead of in the status window

[Quote] [Quote] Thank you for your replies! Took me awhile to check this out, but both methods work. I didn't realize that right click would bring up the "Synchronize selection" op…

of course it is required to be admin or to have set the privilege to create symlinks if i want to copy (create) symlinks. but this is not required for directory junctions. junction…

Well, the best way to verify is to install an older version to confirm

Not officially... FFS strips off the "\\?\" prefix. This can be hacked around by putting an additional "\\?\" on the front. FFS also strips the trailing \, but using a subfolder di…

Thanks @Plerry. Exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, sorry for my late reply. Yes, for overwriting, the permission should always be preserved. For new files, the parent folder permission is fine. But, it would be great to be able…

Please ignore that... Just tried a different search query and found the answer. Thanks.

I too have just been hit with this change, I redonated and downloaded the new version (previosly was on 10.4) and now I have lots of space used up (624Gb) and the backups were taki…

Thanks a lot for your opinion.

Thanks, issue solved.

[Quote] Okay, thanks.

Thank you for your response. What I'm trying to say is that if the parent directory has facl permissions, or the group in the parent directory has SGIDs set, then newly created dir…

Update: FreeFileSync will now only log modification time errors (as info message) after comparing by size or content, instead of showing a warning dialog.

Perhaps a more direct way to assess the impact of your Exclude Filter entries is to turn things around. If you put (only) your proposed Exclude Filter entries in your Include Filte…

Hi :) For those interested, here is a post (in French language) in which FreeFileSync is mentioned: [URL] [Image] Bye

@Plerry, you're too good!

A lot of smaller "modules" is actually better for troubleshooting and stability. One issue can't cause a cascade of symptoms. Sure, implementation becomes more time-consuming, but …

It does not, you would have to set up a folder pair for each of the instances that occurs

Hi. I received the Donation Edition for Linux. It's running as the regular free one. I think a key is missing. How to run it on Linux with the Extended Donation Version features?

Thank you. I'm logging in the system with the Ubuntu GUI Gnome. I then open a terminal as sudo. The DISPLAY env is =:0 I run FFS from the CMD. I get now the error "protocol error".…

Thank you very much, I didn't know it was possible to synchronize multiple configurations at once. It is certainly a better approch! Best

I'm guessing it depends on the phone and how the storage protocols are implemented. I have no issues with large amounts of updates on my Note 10+

[URL] Oops sorry; I no longer followed the thread no because the goal is to quickly see more clearly so that doesn't really help for that I just saw a new version ... maybe on the …

I've installed v.11.3 and found in the filter an automatic retry and set to 2 seconds. This option solves the mentioned problem. Hope this could be helpful to somebody else.

That's normal. You can se the box at the bottom-middle with the equal symbol. If you click that, it will display all files/folders that are equal between the left and right. Since …

It works. Thanks to clarify that it covers both.

Definitely thinking the same

You may need to run: "del /ah /f *.ffs_temp"

See also, [URL]. (Though I still like the checkbox idea.)

Hi, Thanks for the info. On the destination side, the files are converted to .symlinks. I believe my organization moves the core data to tape backup which can be manually requested…

Thank you for such quick reply. You mus t be a bot or cyborg ...

Thanks for making FFS available on the Ubuntu/Linux Mint Software Manager. I never had any success installing tar balls. Are there any plans to release a .deb package? Or, is it pu…

Task scheduler works fine though

I cannot get my Google Drive File Stream Files to be recognized by FFS. When I select the folder and do comparison or mirror, it shows that nothing is in my Google Drive File Strea…
