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…

I created a reddit post on the setup process if anyone is having trouble or is looking for a nice tutorial. In my example I set it up with my Unraid server but it can be done with …

[Quote] Thank you, I did not know Altap Salamander, and it looks very inviting. However, its limitations towards my needs -- you point them out -- are severe. I found Ghisler Total…

> ... I am guessing they (sync.ffs_db-files) are filtered explicitly [/quote] I would call it implicitly. And yes, they are excluded, and they have to be! Copying sync.ffs_db-files…

And if you do not want to sync all file types that are present in your base folder location or (sub)folders thereof, you can use the Exclude Filter to exclude certain file types, o…

You're probably using "Update" variant. In this case you need to set a sync direction for "conflicts", this will get rid of the warning.

Obviously, if there is no write access to a given folder, FFS is not able to write its sync.ffs_lock file(s). And because of the reason FFS is using sync.ffs_lock files, it is not …

Set up more pairs, but that could be space consuming. I would set filters accordingly, or have projects separated by status: in progress, finished, archived, etc

Thanks!

Windows Defender has been the culprit for FreeFileSync slowdowns and server connection issues in the past. But this should be fixed already by having added FFS to the Windows Defen…

I think a large hurdle is the differences between Mac OS versions, and saying to create a startup task is an OS skill, not FFS

There are existing utilities designed for this. They are typically marketed with ransomware protection as their ideal

Unlikely, Chrome OS is not yet tailored towards workloads for such support

Can confirm it still works that way but display filters can cause things to look weird

FFS doesn't so anything with encryption, so no

it in general just a checking thing... "is the file I just worked on inside the list?" ...mh cannot scroll the list, mybe it's on th bottom. just that kinda thing. And I can't chec…

Assuming the "Camera" folder is in the root of your left and right base location, adding "\Camera\*\*" (obviously without the quotes!) to your Exclude Filter should exclude everyth…

I see... I can think of two options: 1) You could run a post-sync command that evaluates the exit code. This would only work if FFS would detect the change mid-sync and actually ch…

Fixed! Thanks for the report: [URL]

I believe Zenju says to use credit card to donate in these cases
