Can't you use the "variable drive letter" feature? It should work for /media/user/<device name>, too! [URL]

A few days ago, I thought maybe I could modify the source code to add new features for the Windows version of the FreeFileSync and I started my adventure on compiling the source co…

@Zenju, thank you. When I can recreate this, I'll come back with more info. I don't know what else could be causing what I saw. The modify times and file sizes were the same (when …

Update 2: I tried to run FFS with elevated permissions and now the copy operation works. Obviously, this is not something I would like to do as a norm. Any hints welcome Best regar…

Excellent, thank you! (y)

On one of the devices I uninstalled the donor version, but the website shows that I am still using it in 2 places. How do I delete the donor version I uninstalled?

[Quote] I've updated [URL]

That's a decent idea, thanks.

Do you have some more info about how this can be reproduced? Is there something particular about this machine?

Hi, it works now. You are right, in the second sync there are only conflicts left, so FFS doesn't have to distinguish between a conflict and an updated file. That solves the proble…

Maybe you've set up an excessive amount of parallel operations?

Well I tested a 3rd RSS reader, this time in Firefox and it shows [URL] feed fine. Very odd that all my other RSS feeds show fine in Chrome and standalone RSS feeder but not this f…

Migrating from Mac-compatible volumes to Windows-only volumes: on the source there are files with leading spaces (or even double leading spaces) which aren't copied to the Windows-…

Hi ! Is it possible to see last full sync time in left configuration pane (name, last session) ? If not it would be great having this as information. Some backups takes a lot of ti…

OMG, thank you so much! I'll give this a try today! I really appreciate your help! =D

Yes, i have all the rights in it.

I have this problem... CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 15 seconds [curl_easy_perform] This problem whit Google account. In …

I also thought about the time span option, but i think it is not as accurate as i want, because you also never know exactly if some files maybe have an older date in their meta dat…

FFS simply shows you the error Windows generated. This is a very common scenario between Windows and Unix/Linux machines. Your problem is not FFS, but either Windows or the NAS (Fr…

You'll have to create two separate RTS packages for that

Just create multiple pairs and include only a section of folders, or exclude everything but a section of folders, whatever is easier.

You can also remove the path to the finish wav file in the options

Check windows.old

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…
