FreeFileSync Forum

This is doing exactly what I wanted. perfect, thx so much

Hi Zenju. I just read through your Vision message (2014?) which explained your philosophical thinking on the creation of FreeFileSync when interviewed by SoundForge. I just want to…

You can, you have to set up the filters for what you want to include/exclude. Do you sync different music each time?

It would be really nice if selecting another configuration/session (left panel) would not clear the search result, or at least show some warning. Had the unfortunate case where it …

Thanks for this new release 11.2, the vertical lines in display are not bad. But I'm a little bit sad to see that directory icons are forced on display even if I choose a "without …

(Depending on the number of sets you are adding, you can drag the "splitter" between the folder sets & the Compare results box, down, temporarily even, to give you greater visibili…

(In the year 2020, & we're still running into Path length issues. In addition to path, in total, there is also a "path segment" limit of 255 characters. So you can't have a file na…

Hello, also looking into synchronizing quicky two folders with many files (160000) but only twice a day. Currently using jfilesync which is not realtime but fast to find the change…

I would like the file time and size of all copied, deleted and replaced files to be added to the log (in addition to their names).

[Quote] Variable drive letters are also supported by RealTimeSync. [Quote] FreeFileSync distinguishes two types of paths: 1. whatever the user enters, e.g. %AppData%\Thunderbird 2.…

Hi, Can you please update the chocolatey package of freefikesync to the latest version (11)? Now the current version is outdated and It will make the life much more easier for IT S…

FFS is a sync program, what you want to do is not really a sync. What you can do is run 'update' which which not delete files off the destination, even if they don't exist on the s…

You can use [URL] to launch FreeFileSync upon e.g. connecting USB resources.

Good luck! Although it looks pretty similar to FFS in use

What a pitty...

[Quote] Thank you very much ! 11.1 version resolved the issue.

[Quote] First of all, the lack of separation of item names and parent folder is not confusing to me, cause its the normal way to give folder and filename in Linux. What I see is th…

okay. for a test a create on the NAS (with the control GUI) a trash-folder, but FFS doesn't detect this. Greetings Heiko

[Quote] Thanks a lot! It saves me some aggravation :)

Can you delete from file explorer?

Already discussed here. No announced plans. Features are not typically announced, rather featured in the changelogs

Please add an option to disable logging in FFS

Agree, outstanding functionality. Each version gets better and response to user requests/concerns is best I've ever seen.

Indeed it will do it! Thanks for the help.

See the last alinea of the [URL]. As more than one file may have changed during the RTS idle time (which will restart the idle-time timer), or files may change during an FFS sync, …

You can upload the setup exe to virustotal and see that it's fine. It only gets tagged by two out of, I think, 34 libraries. It's fine. Also, Comodo is not good

In the log, I can see the actions creating, updating and moving, but if I would like to parse the log text file, I think it would be better if I could search for a code, so it woul…

YES !!

The "ignore all" function does exist, but not the option to repeat the "retry" action indefinitely.

Thanks for your opinion JDB. I plan to upgrade to a new HDD like the WD one you mentioned. Perhaps that old Freecom drive has some mild connectivity problem which was the cause of …

@JDB: Yet a nice, attractive alternative!

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…
