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

[Quote] In my opinion,I think it's possible when user want to overwrite the previous file in google drive website. They don't notice that Google Drive create the file with same nam…

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 …

[Quote] Yes, thanks, that's what I thought. [Quote] Lovely, that's amazing! I didn't know the part of multiple left/right pairs. Now I get what the global and local filters are abo…

Hello Guys, since several years I've kept successfully synchronized my two Mac computer, but I have just a question: before start process, if I don't reselect, by browsing, my macb…

I see your point. My proposed process indeed is only useful if the remote site is to be kept updated only. It does not work in the other direction at all. I also totally agree with…

[Quote] At first I was convinced it was my mistake, now your words make me think of a change to report, but I don't know if I can do it, and in which discussion to insert the reque…

Thank you, apologies for the delay in replying. This has been happening for some time now, but your answer helps me to understand more about the issue.

Hi! I find that updating the file in my Google Drive (I made changes to the file locally) will cause the sharing link of the file to change. When I check in Google drive, the older…

Ok, so my solution (which works flawlessly!) was to rollback to version 10.18. I tested 10.25 (which is one of the versions that the developer infamously introduced his HTML loggin…

[Quote] Well THIS device (car sound system) does NOT. I imagine that the car mfg can save $0.01 per car by not providing a sort function so they didn't. It just displays the files/…

Nope, that is not what the .db file does.

Thanks Plerry for the support and the informations. Have a nice weekend, sKo

Don't let nobody tell you you're not The Boss! A million thanks!

FreeFileSync (FFS) should be able to perform the sync for you. However, you would still need e.g. the Windows Task Scheduler (or the Mac or Linux equivalent thereof) to daily launc…

If this occurred just very recently, it may be related to a change to [URL]. See the link how FFS can deal with this.

For the solution, click on the link in my previous reply...

Are there any plans in the future to include more Cloud options? What might be good is a plug in architecture that allows 3rd parties to add these - freeing the author to get on wi…

That is better worded than I put it, but yes!

Hi, Same problem :-) I'm trying to look for a graphical alternative to robocopy, but I need to chose transfer speed.

May I should open my eyes. Thanks.

Hi! I have packaged FreeFileSync 11.8 for Ubuntu (focal+) and made it available here: [URL]. Let me know if this is of interest and/or if there are any improvements I can make. Bac…

FFS isn't a copy tool unfortunately, but you can look into registry keys that create a context menu entry and create a command the runs a cmd line FFS setup

Ok i make a donation and it works... thx. But now i have seen what i want to know... The update interval is one year by default, assuming a €20 donation, and adapted otherwise, e.g…

RTS has a user-defined idle time. RTS will monitor the directory, and once no changes are detected for this specified idle time, it will run the batch job specified. If the torrent…

my case is different than your example since the files I want to include are the files directly under the folder in the left-right pair e.g. syncing folder 1 to folder 2 I want to …

I compared left with right and all was well. 30 min later - FFS finished with errors. The log showed - 'ENOSPC: No space left on device [fallocate]'. Close examination showed that …

> Seems like FreeFileSync copies the new version before deleting the old one FFS does so by design. The old version only is only deleted after copying over the new version ended su…

[Quote] I think this would be a fine addition to have. Also for a bells and whistles a version being able to email progress / status would be a fine thing to have too. Right now at…

Remarkable how many people rather post than read ... [URL]

Everything works as expected. Thank you very much :)

Hello, My new NAS runs on a ZFS file system. Data is being migrated from the old NAS to the new and in running some FFS tasks I'm seeing a much longer time to compare the files on …

[Quote] Yes that's correct. My remark was geared towards "not using FFS", when the IMHO better solution is to fix "not saving time stamps", what I consider an issue rather than nor…

Hi FreeFileSync Community, first of all thanks so much for this excellent software that has never failed me so far! But, today I shot myself in the leg accidentally: I had run an e…

[Quote] Sorry for late answer. I've checked updated FFS 11.7 installation. All works fine. Thanks! XIM warning is not actual for me. I think, wxWidgets used by some installed softw…

I'm using the free version, the latest version, installed from the Google Play store. No need to "root" the phone. When I say Root I mean the app option to set the Root folder, tha…

Thanks, Zenju. I apologize for not spotting this in earlier posts. There's an easy fix for false-positives in SUMo, once you're certain that the flagged program is in fact up to da…

[Attachment] VirusTotal looking better today, only 3 detected, compared to 11 from yesterday.

Is it possible to run the mac version of FFS from a USB thumb drive? thanks!

Hello I need a sync mode working like "two-ways" mode for all it's behavior, except one, which works in "personalise" mode. In personalise mode, when a file have changed on both si…
