FreeFileSync Forum

Please, could you add Dropbox and OneDrive login to synchronization? I'm testing some File sync app. Thank you in advance.

Then your "explanation of need" still has not made clear (at least to me) what you mean exactly by "in-between the tasks in a FFS batch".[Quote] This suggests you have a *.bat file…

Every time FFS does a two-way sync it creates db files which, I assume, contain information about what files were, where they were located, modified times, etc, at the time of the …

This has been discussed before. See [URL].

There was a problem with the corporate firewall

ok, not sure what relation with google drive is. As said, after stopping/killing the powershell process the installer completes and FFS seems to run just fine.

[Quote] Yes, that was the kind of (after-) thought I had when reading your method -- it offers the user a bit more control because return code can indicate conditions that the "On …

It would not. It will only sync the previously detected modifications. You would have to rename and then compare/sync again.

I encounter many errors when using Filezilla Server on windows 2012 server. When using Filezilla as client all is going well and can update the remote directory flawless. When usin…

There are two kinds of errors that indicate that a file is "locked": ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION: A file handle is open but doesn't share read access (= the most common type of "locked…

> Google drive also changes the modification time when a file is renamed I did not know this. This is unfortunate. Upon further testing, I see that FFS can already detect renames o…

For RTS to work, the file/operating system needs to support registering for sending change notifications. Like for (S)FTP, this may not be the case for Drive File Stream. See e.g. …

See the [URL], and then specifically the LockDirectoriesDuringSync setting. You should preferably only set this to "false" if there is no risk that other FFS syncs may run against …

Already asked and answered: see [URL]

Doesn't sound like an issue with FFS, although more information would be beneficial.

You can right click a folder in the sync window and exclude it in the saved program

In FFS you can use [URL] as a deletion method. This means that files deleted from the source but (still) present in the destination, will be moved from the destination location to …

Hello, I created a very very simple ruby gem that I use to run one or more ffs_batch files. In fact, this gem is my first gem I've ever written. To see it : [URL] To install it fro…

[Quote] Hello xCSxXenon, thank you very much for your fast answer. I really could of used my own brain to get to this result. I think I will do it how you described. If there isn't…

Hello, just wanted to say thanks for this awesome software that is continuously updated. When I copy files from my fast raid server to my stablebit drivepool volume of spanned driv…

Bravo!!

You may need to boot into a Linux OS that will bypass the attributes that Windows looks at. If that fails, it may just be completely dead

I ran into the same issue and figured out that FFS was stopping on a file error (cannot copy file... or something). I simply opened FFS task configuration and checked 'Ignore Error…

hello, i also need a simpler file versioning modus. like this: [URL] i do not work with high complex projekt folder structure. i most edit one dokument and i would like to have a '…

The error says that Freefilesync cannot move an *.*ffs_tmp (several files in several popup) in the Recycle Bin. Some Help? Release 10.13

I realize now what I really need is a command line sync so that so I can create folder pairs on the fly. Update: I have create a test command with 3 left and 3 right folders. The G…

As Compare works, you apparently still have read access on the WD My Cloud device share. But as writing there fails, apparently you no longer have write access.

This sounds like a case for a Custom sync variant, as you can select in the Synchronization settings (F8), and where you can define your custom actions. If we assume that you defin…

There is a fascinating discussion on Linux Weekly News about a proposed addition to the Linux kernel that could be an alternative to fsync() that would be particularly useful on ce…

Hi Zenju, Thank you for your reply. The default setting in VeraCrypt is set to "Preserve modification timestamp of file containers", so I was thinking because this is a security fe…

You could solve this using multiple folder pairs, with the last pair syncing only last_sync.txt.

Your use case is quite specific, in that you intend to replicate the full path (with the exception of the drive letters). There may be other use cases where it desirable to duplica…

[Quote] For the Update variant: Yes, that's it :)

... am calling FFS via batch file and branching on ERRORLEVEL... calling a "pass.bat" or a "fail.bat" which contains environment variables for the PC it ran on. Chuck

I have a daily batch file sync scheduled, and each morning I like to peruse the Log Viewer that lingers. Sorting out which rows are for "Deleting", which for "Creating" and which f…

Thank you

Final beta works great! Off topic - I ended up playing with the parallel options, gained about a minute, cut compare times by almost a third :-) Very sweet.

Any help please?

That is where the Include and Exclude filter come in. If you only need to sync a limited number of fixed folders in "infiles" in the sync, you can list those folders in the Include…

If others have a similar use case, I found a workaround, unfortunately quite manual, but solves the problem: Create an additional configuration that Mirrors an empty folder to your…

Hello, Forum! I have 3 ideas about log files. 1. FreeFileSync creates a jointed log file, if several tasks has been run together after they have been selected by mouse in the confi…

Thank you! I observed recently with my locally-compiled version of FreeFileSync, that the sounds were not working. But having options is always a plus. I'm sure some users depend o…

I'd simply "touch" these files from the Linux command line and be done with it.
