FreeFileSync Forum

Very glad I did another search when I was notified of the 11.11 update and found this. I have to admit that I'd stuck on 11.5 because I wasn't happy with the .run installer. It is …

How turn-key do you expect it to get? Whatever sync application you use, including FreeFileSync (FFS), you will need to specify the two locations to be synced (in FFS the left and …

Well, I am not an "editor", but I can confirm that when you go to your personal donation edition page, e.g. available via Help / Check for updates now / Home page (in an installed …

Correction to xCSxXenon's reply: As stated in my earlier reply, the Include (and Exclude) Filter definitions are relative to the left and right base locations. So if your left (or …

Depends how you're mind works! Glad you got something you are comfortable with, that's the important part

Adding to Plerry, it didn't change for me either. You may be best resetting dialog box prompts or even uninstalling/reinstalling

You were right it already works! :) Thank you!

Hi Paul, I tried to put inside cron.daily (without .sh extension) and it should work, forcing the /var/spool/anacron date to the past, but no... using the anacron -d -n -f -s make …

Still waiting for an answer of someone from the staff...

Thanks a lot! Both options work for me. And I am ashamed that I did not find it in the help :) I found how to set up filters, but I missed the "letter":) This program is amazing. I…

Nevermind! Just saw that this is a donation feature!

A way to access OneDrive over cloud-connect would be very appreciated! Best regards

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it and now feel more confident.

You can not use wildcards in your left or right base location. There seem to be two options for your use-case • Use [URL]. Those should work in the left and right base location. • …

Done! Thanks!

Then the storage devices should be monitored better. If there is that much data being created between syncs, a more robust backup storage setup is usually better in the long run. E…

Any reference to a not (yet) existing destination base location gives rise to this notification, whether this not (yet) existing base location is referred to directly or via a macr…

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…

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

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.
