FreeFileSync Forum

Well if your computer gets stolen or you lose it, the first step is to change all your passwords for all online accounts immediately. Also, in your Google, FB, etc account you have…

I just wanted to say that I really like the feature you have where the progress/status / "Completed Successfully" messages and popup window do not require confirmation before movin…

Follow this page for more detail: [URL] Basically for the manual sync job you have right now, you need to do these steps. 1. Select the job you want to schedule to start automatica…

I am curious how the databases work. I am currently running an sftp server via a raspberrypi and I synchronize multiple computers to the same directory on this device. I am using t…

FreeFileSync does not have any limit on file path length. But your file system might have one.

This sounds quite specific. Besides, it sound like you are trying "solve" a result of a problem instead of solving the problem itself (by using a connection method/setting able to …

See the difference in the Action shown for the different Categories for the different sync variants. Move your mouse over a Category or corresponding Action to see the tooltip.

What you are asking is already there … As per the Note below the [URL], simply run a Compare, right-click the file or folder you would like to (temporary or permanently) Include or…

+1 Would love this feature in Windows 10

Hello, sorry I am total newbie to syncronization world. I tried with google driver sync and backup but it'doesnt work. I need to sync a folder in my App data / Local on win10. I ru…

Hello everyone, I've been able to successfully backup folders automatically by adding BatchRun.ffs_real in the registry. At that time it shows the following status [Attachment] How…

In simple words: FreeFileSync (FFS) synchronizes the content of the source root location(s) (usually the left location(s)) to the destination root location(s) (usually the right lo…

[Quote] If Google really wanted, they'd have fixed this age-old "bug" regarding not accepting modification times long ago. [Quote] MTP returning a different time than what was set …

[Quote] Thanks for the Heads up !

I just recognized that setting the time span filter to "last x days" and then typing in the days since last synchronization (from the sessions view) should have the explained effec…

I would love a feature which would allow me to "merge" more source foulders into a destination one. Something like: Source: - /dir1/music/mp3folders - /dir2/music/mp3folders - /dir…

When two folders are synchronised they should be real equal or the difference should be stated! FFS creates hidden sync.ffs_db. It is the file state of a compared folder and repres…

How can I do this???

Hi I just noticed that FFS doesn't start comparing any Folder-pair if just one is blocked, at all. I suggest to postpone the scan of blocked Folder pairs and start by scanning the …

That is the way the Windows batch file works; it waits for the previous command to finish. If don't want the batch file to wait for the previous command to finish, use the batch fi…

Agree -- this really stings when it happens. IMO any operation that consumes a lot of time or resources shouldn't be dismissed without confirmation. Of course, "a lot" is subjectiv…

If "fail-safe file copy" was active (= default) when the sync was interrupted, you're good, since it exists precisely to avoid data corruption in cases like yours.

Hello Is it possible to send by email LOG of FFS? So we can monitor that replication went OK without having to connect to remote FFS host? Thank you

Assuming you use Windows, you can create (and store) the correct identity (user/password combination) for the network location in the Windows Credential Manager.

Yes, this will be fine.

See: [URL] RunWithBackgroundPriority might help. To change between day and night handling, probably you'll need to play with WindowsScheduler, as the param is set in GlobalSettings…

I had the same question, but I see no one provided a comment yet.

RealTimeSync (RTS) will not trigger a FreeFileSync (FFS) sync as soon as a file in the monitored folder(s) has changed. Launching FFS will be "armed" upon detecting such change, bu…

Save and run your syncs as *.ffs_batch files. See the "Attention" text in [URL] item 1.

Hello fiends, 1) Is possible to synchronize only the files of a certain date for example today? 2) If the above is possible, how to recognize if it is a new file so that the proces…

Ok thanks for your answer and your advice. Fully agree this is a bit exotic but I have to deal with :) Maybe this kind of feature could help in some other cases by giving full cust…

Same here (2018-12-07). It doesn't seem to be a random ad. I always struggle to disable my adblocker because then I also disable the tracking protection (google is everywhere...). …

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…

For Example: [Attachment]

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…
