FreeFileSync Forum

What JDB said. You aren't backing up or syncing data in your provided scenario. There's no reason to have the files, presumably, sorted into folder to retain alphabetical order. Yo…

Just ran across this post on accident looking for alternatives to the official Dropbox windows client and so I'll +1 the idea :) (If you look the dropbox forum is littered with com…

That's not right. I can select the top level folder and it propagates to its contents. We are both using relative path as well, I don't know what is happening with yours

Yes, this fixed an issue with Google Drive file copy.

0k, I'll have a look on how to invoke the synchronization from a script. Many thanks

Yes, Plerry, if only it were possible to differentiate the legitimate ones from the bogus impostors or those that have been compromised by ill motives. One cannot trust Google afte…

Recent mention of "dot" directories, maybe that, [URL]?

This is partly a bug report and partly a request. I'm running on Windows 7. I was hoping that there would be a way to see the progress on the main window as well as on the progress…

For those, you can usually delete that file from the destination and let it sync again. It could be permissions, attributes, many things

(Other related threads, [URL].)

It obviously differs per platform, but for Windows see e.g. [URL].

It would be per machine / account What ever is currently considered 1 licence

There it all began [URL]

Ok an update: I narrowed it down to an issue in handling of ntfs drives in the latest ubuntu lts (20.04), kernel 5.4.0, using ntfs-3g FUSE driver. Creating any file with ":" and "|…

Symlinks should be fully supported and working.

Can't you add the shared folder to your Drive? It should be accessible as 'yours' and still be updated by the actual owner

No one is going to opt into seeing an advertisement during installation. That monetary value is so low that it is not worth implementing. Ads don't pay much

Just want to say thanks for this software. I have made a donation but will surely be making another one soon. This is worth every penny. I am a programmer so i know the time that g…

No worries ... just be careful running under a normal user account, it might not always work. That's why I run the service under LocalSystem (which gives the FFS job full administr…

Thanks tob9999 sounds like a pretty good service but I want something I can access offline, i.e. no internet. I have thought of something and will give it a try: Move OneDrive to E…

Did the FFS log-file of the initial (date+size) syncs report any warnings/erros about the seemingly missing files? Note that FFS excludes files, file types and folders that meet on…

When I update the file in my google drive, FreeFileSync will delete or move the old file and upload a new file. But, the new file ID is different from the old one. This will make t…

If you want to continue using different folder names inside your left vs right root location, the only way is to define more detailed left-right folder pairs, possibly in combinati…

better this way it's an HTML it open in browser directly You are Wonderfull ! Alain

I wish layout was user-selectable, too :'(

Have you previously already installed the non donation edition? Then of course it will replace the free version. Also files in the temporary extraction folder. A downloaded file ne…

Long ago we had a machine with not enough drive space. Probably months later we found out some folders are empty. Arguing the lack of space caused it. So the moment the space lacki…

Was the word-wrap of the log files changed between 9.1 and 10.24? The newest 'Notepad' is now capable of the unix format. But for downwards compatibility it should have stayed for …

Thanks for the reply!. I just make copies in external drives I attach to my computer, no clouds involved. I'm not using Windows I use MacOS :)

Yes, thanks I did the same reasoning. without that dir, it's working fine. Nonetheless, no idea what I was getting the error for. Alain

OK I'll continue further discussions in [URL].

The file grid has been completely overhauled in FFS 11.0, solving almost all issues that came up after the 10.25 tree view update. I've posted an update on this thread: [URL]

[Quote] But there are missing path of folders. It will be super, when in Item Name view will be foders shown with paths...

I think FFS creates temporary files ending with "... ~<session>.ffs_tmp" for synching then moves them to the original file name when successful. So just from my debugging, it copie…

For all clarity, and supplementary to xCSxXenon's reply: *.ffs_db files are created and used by FreeFileSync (FFS), and are fully unrelated to RealTimeSync (RTS). @istrauss: your a…

Hi there, I work in a shipping company and my vessels don't have access to internet at all. Our currently planned maintenance system (PMS) used a simple application tool that sends…

Hi I have changed the global settings and set the Log File output type to "Text" instead of "HTML". I did this both via editing the settings file directly and via the GUI. This is …

Forgive me if this has been asked before, or I'm misunderstanding the "time span" option, but... I get the impression that if you're sync'ing 2 folders, even when using indicating …

[Quote] Never noticed that! Sweet! Would still love to see it a little more obvious but it definitely helps (and gave me enough confidence to pull the trigger on attempting the oth…
