Hi, is there any possibility of an iPad or android app in the pipeline? Foldersync looks like the closest option on Android, and now with usb4 iPads it would need awesome to backup…

NTFS should work reliable in all cases unlike FAT (FAT32, exFAT), which allows for move detection "sometimes".

Thank you for the suggestion. There are a lot of directories and that might be cumbersome to set up, but I'll try it next time if need be. I got too frustrated in the few days befo…

Thanks for the pointer I hadn't considered the manual real folder solution which I think will have to do. I had hoped for a virtual solution to keeping things in the same place but…

Thank!

[Quote] What error messages do you see? Creating folders with leading/trailing spaces are allowed as far as FFS is concerned.

Any plans that the prices will be dependent of the number of clients? I really love the suggestion!

if I changed file A , and then restore it, "File content" is the same, but updated the "modified time". I want the old file can cover this. so after compare by "file time and size"…

My OneDrive has 11,000 files and a 200KB db file, so Zenju is right about it not being the appropriate size. My only curiosity is if the db file works across different computers. R…

That error couldn't be any clearer. the modified time on those files is out of the range that FAT can store

That risk is mitigated by air-gapping the backup

Good tip -- I didn't know about this. But I think you have to be careful, as selecting folders on the right side for deletion could end up deleting more than the files you've selec…

[Quote] Absolutely what?

+1 to amazing!

You would have to create something, probably using Task Scheduler. FFS doesn't support this natively

"Command+W" is a system shortcut on macOS. Also, the confirmation dialog seems to be somewhat cumbersome. Maybe we can do better: new handling in FFS 11.16: • New keyboard shortcut…

+1 as well. My speed fluctuates wildly depending on whether it's in the middle of copying a single large file, or tons of small ones. Would be nice to know on average how much inte…

Thanks

The API that the Windows Recycle bin exposes is not the issue. Other softwares like Teracopy, DigitalVolcano's Duplicate Cleaner, etc... call the window shell directly while deleti…

[Quote] Thank You.

You may know this, but you can hover your cursor over them to pop up what pair of locations they are representing.

Another option that may work better is to have a seperate disk for those macrium backups. It also makes it easier to restore a backup if the main drive dies for any reason (I've ha…

That would work! Thank you :)

Maybe this scenario could be covered by adding an input help window for the file filter in the form of a checkbox tree. This would make it possible to set folder exclusions more co…

This is PayPal's decision for whatever reason.

Oh nice! I missed that update, that is super nice

You only need donation for the natively supported emails, not to run a post-sync command

Although, I think Zenju added detection for stale lock files at some point.

It should continue working fine.

I've been able to dig up a little more info on my problem. Shown below are the file attributes used by OneDrive: - online-only FILE_ATTRIBUTE_PINNED : False FILE_ATTRIBUTE_UNPINNED…

I had an issue with my NAS drive when I first got FFS. The problem was that I had a password set for my NAS drive but it was not in the credential manager (deliberately). The probl…

Not only that but we also have to consider that you can donate less for less time for updates. Each donation update is valid *forever* so if you are not so flush you can donate at …

W7x64. Last (auto-update). Last. Did not notice. Did not notice. Default settings when syncing. Type - mirror. No. System disk - ssd. Synchronized from mechanical to mechanical dri…

If you want to test a Beta to see if that works for you..., [URL].

Worked great. Thanks much.

Hello everyone, I have a concern about what I wanted to get rid of here. I use 2 NAS with an armbian 21.08.3 Focal (i.e. based on Ubuntu) with the Linux kernel 5.10.63-rockchip64. …

I was facing the same problem. There is a switch on the card reader to LOCK the card and it is easy to turn it on without knowing. Check it.

Oh, it never even occurred to me FFS had anything but regular filesystem support, I don't know why. Of course, now I see you have built-in Drive support, I'll try using that. Thank…

Hello, I don't know enough of how to respond properly, i'll do my best, please bear with me. [Quote] Yes, they both exist. [Quote] I am syncing a large folder in an external drive …

Such feature is already there. When saving your sync configuration as a FFS batch-job (*.ffs_batch), you can checkmark "Ignore errors". See the "Attention" box on the [URL] and sim…

I second this! arm64 binaries would be great

Hi, Yep, that was it! Thanks, Mike.

When you save you batch config in FFS, there is an option to run minimized. Go into FFS, change that setting, then overwrite the saved config.

Make sure to search the forums before posting! Here's your solution: [URL]

I like the FreeFileSync pricing model and I happily pay 20€ a year, the price the developers ask. As a developer myself, I know how much work it is to keep software alive and I am …

Thanks for the suggestion... yes I could go for the custom script approach and it seems to be the only way forward. I never imagined it would be so hard to find a backup software w…
