Did you reinstall or update your OS a couple of times? It's hard to check "user count" in practice, so FFS currently just assumes that a single user probably doesn't use more than …

With the beta he corrected the error. Thank you

@ScottFiore, Thanks, it seems that by default, if there are warnings it will create a pop up. I don't see a way to prevent the pop up without adding that as a feature request to co…

Good day. This is my first posting here and would like to express my satisfaction with FFS. Now I wonder is it possible the destination folder to be a Subversion work copy. Scenari…

Your target volume obviously doesn't support multiple filenames differing only in case (unlike the Linux side).

Hello everyone. I need to copy about 500 GB (many types of files, some huge, many small files too) from an external hard drive, connected by usb 3.0, to a new internal hard drive. …

Hi all, I thank you too for this powerfull tool, it saved me several times. I have tried some sync tools, and no one is better than FFS. I have read your post Jengalor, and I perfe…

Thank you for the replies. I exported the directory paths from the folders to an excel sheet and just copied and pasted into FFS,this didn't take as long as expected. The good thin…

Ability to exclude TRUE dupes by size Name Dates no matter what directory, would be nice

1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th that.

Thanks alot! That 10.7 beta fixes the problem here d-(o.o)-b

Hello, can I sync from multiple servers/pc with task scheduler...

Thank you, Plerry, but that's the obvious answer. I'm looking for an answer that allows me to have one ffs_batch file. This would need some intelligence in FFS. I knew this would p…

I would like to activate comparison by content, but then it plummets due to IO on small files. What if, we first compare timestamps, and then go to content comparison? And maybe tr…

Hi, Would it possible to consider moving the option LockDirectoriesDuringSync from GlobalSettings.xml to the *.ffs_gui files ? Or even better, to keep it in GlobalSettings.xml, and…

I have a "server" and two (at the moment) locations. I want to work on the files, and always have the latest versions synced. At the moment, I am not editing the files concurrently…

@markusoft: Can you retest the fixed version? I'm pretty sure it's the same issue: [URL]

Do you mean this: [URL] ?

Thanks for the response. That's what I thought as well, but I just wanted to make sure...

Just wondering if you can add support for restartable mode transfers when syncing to an FTP server. Currently in the event of a time out or packet drop the transfer will fail requi…

My connect requires implicit FTP. Is there any way to add this feature?

Thanks for your input.

I think the new blue bars are too obvious,and breaks the whole UI color balance,the old gray one is just fine. version 10.5 [Image] version 10.2 [Image]

Fixed. The last item was mostly just a summary, and as such should not be included as an extra log item. Other cases like "nothing to sync" or "cancelled" do not have a summary sta…

Ah you're referring to the log panel, not the log file: [Attachment] I believe this panel already has all the important info including "total time". The "Completed successfully" lo…

Hello, I would need to synchronize two directories including only the folders and subfolders present but no other type of files. How can I do that? Thanks

It is possible to create the filter which would allow to copy files and folders from the source without structure of folders? In more detail: - The source contains structure of fol…

Small Feature request, but I constantly rename a large number of folders between backups and as it seems "detect moved files" does not detect renamed folders, being able to quickly…

I want to use the FreeFileSync on the student PCs in primary school. To distribute these, I need the silent option. But the Donation Edition for 2000 PCs will be very expensive. Is…

Thanks. I'm going to have to read the manual!

You have to be more precise. I'm not aware of a general issue in this regard.

+1 for an updater inside the macOS App

The same error is being displayed for multiple sites.

In "Sync Settings\Sync\Delete files" I didn't find any option to delete old file versions when disk is full. Is that feature available anywhere? Here are more details: I am plannin…

In trying to since up a bunch of photos and video files I ran into a problem that the date fields were pretty useless if files had been copied from here to their, moved etc.. (note…

Awesome

The next FFS version will be aware of different Unicode normalization forms and should solve all Unicode issues (... at least the ones that are solvable... :> ) On macOS there is o…

What you describe above does not seem to be a "first do this, then do that" approach, but instead a re-definition of the de-facto industry-standard that an asterix ("*") stands for…

Hello, in version 10.4, i can't use %variable% in the filters. It would be nice, to use system and/or user variables of the environment in the include/exclude filters, to be more s…

Hi Forum, There are few alternatives to manage backups in LTO in the LTFS filesystem. Adding a couple of improvements to the FFS could be feasible. To be able to make backups to LT…

I would also like this feature.

FreeFileSync stores the data for deletions and renames in a file in the root directories that are being synced. I do not want these extra files but a central database. Is this poss…

Hi there, just an idea that would make RTS even more perfect as a backup-tool: I understand, that you can setup tasks in Windows to execute FFS-batch files. In Windows, that is not…

The sync.ffs_lock handling has only been implemented for local file systems and network shares, because most of the technical infrastructure needed isn't available for FTP. For exa…

FreeFileSync is exclusively a graphical application as far as I know. This means that you need a working display (normally X11, or Wayland nowadays). An application normally works …

I often use FFS for file manipulation, not just backup, but here is my problem - I would like to MOVE FILES I do a backup as normal, then I say what is = (filter) I want to select …
