Hello guys After the loss of a backup unit, I restored an old one and gathered some new files from other locations to consolidate the whole thing, and doing this I had to made some…

Hello, When I use it on Windows 7 and 10, when I remove a file, it doesn't want to add it at the next sync [cool]. But with Debian 10 and my dlink nas - I mount with sshfs, I alway…

Hi Developer, I'm using the PostSyncCommand to kill tasks wenn Errors occure during Sycronisation with locked files. e.G. Outlook does lock files. I know i could use CopyLockedOpti…

Hi, So it´s not working for me. For large files, randomly, we get bad proxy files. To solve the problem, we move the original file to another folder and another proxy file is gener…

The error-message is clear: The FFS sync has no write-access to your NAS folder "\\freenas\user\desktop". Windows (?) connects to your NAS using user credentials (user/password). A…

Any roadmap or thought into building an image for container deployment of FreeFileSync application?

Thank you! Everything works fine!

This has been the behavior in FFS since my earliest use/recollection (~2011). Note that the sequence in which multiple left-right folder pairs are listed is not relevant, as in the…

In FreeFileSync, current visual indication for files and folders to be moved includes a double arrow with -, a double arrow with + and folders being added and deleted on the destin…

Check your AV or other software that might be interfering. E.g. Windows Defender definitively has the capability to slow down internet access to a crawl for applications it doesn't…

Hi all, I am currently syncing 2 NAS and today FFS stopped with a number of warnings and I wandered why, because I copied my music archive from one NAS to a new. So at the destinat…

As the subject/title suggests, having recently moved to KDE environment, I can no longer see the items deleted by FreeFileSync in the system wastebin. Instead I have to manually go…

I'm using Filesync to keep Serato music files up-to-date between a pc at home and Mac that I use for dj purposes All syncs are done via an external 64GB thumb drive. Syncing works …

Human error. Disregard my posts. It is working as expected!

That's up to the author of FFS. I can't oversee the impact of syncing in the sequence as ultimately shown in the compare results window, and any potential adverse effects of that, …

Wow, thanks also from my side for this feature!

I know this is a very old post but the problem was just present to me. I found the following workaround: (maybe it’s already mentioned somewhere else) In Windows Disk Management, w…

Hi again. Not sure if the "custom post-sync script" is a note to yourself or a feature of FFS that I haven't discovered yet.... :-) It's been a veeeery looooooooooooong time since …

Shouldn't be a problem as far as FFS is concerned. File systems however have different constraints, most notably FAT (requires dates >= 1980)

I think matching up the grouping and/or sorting ability to select the tagged copy of each group to use that path selected to mark/tag the other entries similar to that path before …

Many thanks, it worked. It was a bit tricky to figure out which folder the symlink should point to and which folders should be compared. Certainly not as straight as the feature I …

Did you try storing your sync as a *.ffs_batch-file, and select to Ignore Errors when saving. See [URL] (the second box marked in red).

hi again, just to show a more concrete example, i've included a snapshot... again, i really love freefile but i must find something that mirror left->right the content... and i hav…

i am using a WD Mycloud device for backup and using FFS for my backups. i am in the process of trying to setup remote access to the device for when i am away. i know that WD offers…

Hello, I would like an new internal-var - for example: %base_path2% - with the Base-Folder-Names. When having more than one folder-pairs: i would use the these var for archiving. T…

There is a problem with longer file paths and folders. Maybe 8 or more ingredients in each other. But quite randomly, sometimes it goes and sometimes not.

I agree that File time and File size should be independent comparison criteria - with options to select either or both. Thank you for FFS which is (almost) indispensible for my dai…

The error points to this command.When I comment it it does not display any errors.Also the above command when I run it from shell,does not start the gui!!!

OK, please ignore my cranial flatulence. I found FFS in a repository.

I'm a new user. I'm happy with the features the software provides. It's very useful. However, I think there needs to be some work done in the user interface. At the minimum, the bu…

Anyone, please? Esp. about which folders to exclude... Thanx.

I'd like to add my vote for this feature request. I had been using another software that has that feature and it's the first thing I noticed is missing from this software. I tempor…

Configuration files are user-dependent. You're probably running the batch jobs under a different user. See the note under: [URL]

First time user. Gotta say I am impressed with the speed of this tool! Been using AllSync for a couple of years thinking that was the best the internet could offer... but that's a …

As the name suggests, FFS is primarily a file synchronization tool. It will compare the file names/sizes/dates of one or more folder pairs , e.g. a local folder and an external fol…

[Quote] that is true

Check the daylight savings settings. [URL]

What was the error? Couldn't connect? The phone doesn't allow a connection to that location but rather the longer one. That is a phone difference, nothing with FFS.
