FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks, that's clearer for me. So Everything is based only on reading, not writing, and fine precision is not critical and neither are rights. This clearly explains why Microsoft d…

[Quote] I actually recommend the opposite of what you are proposing: using the HDD for the local backup (store it in another room out of sight) and the cloud backup for the offsite…

Hello (this text is translated from French) For my backup strategy, I use Resilio Sync in duet with FFS. It is very effective, I propose it here for those who meet the concern of t…

[Quote] Curious. I have scanned up to four volumes (four separate SSDs in this case) at a time using four separate instances of FFS running simultaneously.

Okay, thank you :)

Relatedly, would you be interested in sharing the source tree in a version control system? I appreciate the source code from your tarballs, but with the source tree, the guys who p…

Have you tried to look here? [URL] it works perfectly to me .... be careful not to make the mistake of inserting the variables in the command line....

First thought: make a comparison with a hex editor.

This may be a very old discussion, but I am (still?) experiencing the same thing with Windows 10 build 1709. It seems to be a Windows problem, not a FreeFileSync problem, judging f…

I missed not, but: - I didn't know that the configuration includes the folder selection - I missed the big green plus for adding multiple folders But thanks, you put me on the righ…

"menu -> tools: Reset layout" should fix this.

Not sure what you want to do... if your master has errors, you shouldn't do anything with it but throw it away and buy a new one. If it has errors you have to see every file on tha…

@volker01 The email is just irritating. The backup was sucessful, although it says differently. It's just a warning which you can ignore if you are sure you selected everything as …

ipconfig - This may very well work for me, however, I do not read German. Do you have an English version of the github page available? My needs are much simpler. All I need is the …

Did you know that you can save your configuration to a file with a name of your choice once created? You don't have to do the steps you describe every time.

Hi I would also (still) like to see FFS be able to encrypt (zip+aes is fine) on the fly. Maybe I can suggest CryptSync ( [URL] and [URL] ) This tool let's create settings, that fil…

FreeFileSync 9.10: Remember maximum number of visible folder pairs Let me know if there are any issues: [URL]

the option should IMHO be set in the main preferences

Hi, I'm using FFS for years and I've nothing to suggest about its behaviour as it's absolutely fine for me. But I'm still proposing to consider changing the general layout of the s…

Hello, I'm looking for a program / function where i have the file in one folder and in an other folder the same files as symlinks. Best regards Michael

From the FFS Manual: [URL] "if you schedule FreeFileSync to run under a different user account, note that settings (e.g. GlobalSettings.xml) will also be read from a different path…

Hi Team, Is there any plans to incorporate a duplicate file finder to enhance this application. Steve

In Synchronization Settings -> Filter, you have to manually type in the Include and Exclude subdirs. It would be nice to be able to click a 'Browse' button and choose the subdirs f…

Thanks a lot

Hi would be great to have the Expert Setting "LockDirectoriesDuringSync" not only as a global Setting, instead have it as a sync Setting (perfect would be as a "local Setting"). To…

Hello, I would like to suggest this feature as well. It's currently very impractical to use over the network because it is using all the bandwidth. I don't even need a schedule, ju…

ok, thank you but there is nothing indicating the CRC calculation like a tootbar or whatever ? For instance I have created 2 text files 0Kb in 2 directories, their CRC32 is for bot…

Hello Will FFS work on Ubuntu Mate on Raspberry PI ? Anyone tried it ? thanks

This should sum it up: [URL]

Would really like to see the browse lists both panes be longer. 30-40 ? Would make my picking of a previous Sync/Backup quicker.

Hi, I have had to go into GlobalSettings.xml and change the FolderAccessTimeout value to a higher number because I have a sluggish external USB drive that takes its sweet time spin…

May I suggest to put the field added with v9.7 somewhere else? Right now it's on the same row as the profile name so it's "wasting" space for the profile name itself! It would be n…

The secure file copy option in FFS - so the creation of a temp .ffstemp file, instead of overwriting the old one - is a nice feature. However, the option leads for my to a lot of C…

The I/O required to create a file and close it, seek to a new location for the next file is greater than the time to write a small file, especially on NAS, USB, and spindle disks. …

Indeed, boxcryptor "works"... but it's not open source. Filename encryption is pro-function and no folder-tree obfuscation. The boxcryptor-classic license is not longer available, …

Hi all! I want to sync a NAS folder (smb) with OneDrive for business (via WebDav). In the left \\MYNAS\Folder and in the right side \\corporation-my.sharepoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\p…

Tips and Tricks says that all you need to do is select redundant path and delete it by pressing delete key. Doesn't work, so is there any other way to clear the drop list? Thanks.

If you define (and verify) a sync in the GUI, you can save that sync as either a *.ffs_gui-file or a *.ffs_batch-file. * When invoking FFS from a command prompt (or *.cmd-file) to …

I think my problem comes from having SATA II, SAS-2, and SAS-3, drives all installed on the same computer. Nothing to do with FreeFileSync, so I will have to now re-install. *sigh*

If there is not such feature, I think would be better has : 1. create a job 2. setup a target folder first 3. pick folders or files, drag to the input box. 4. finish job Then all p…

Running FreeFileSync (FFS), should not form substantial extra load to the network over some other way of initially loading data to the new laptops, e.g. by a "plain" file-copy. Aft…

That's wonderful. Many thanks for your support on this issue, Zenju, and keep up the great work!

Dear Developer(s)! In the new sync progress window the "operation after sync" combobox is unuseable. When I click on it, sometimes it vanishes and I push to "Cancel" button. Can yo…

OK - I will try that next time. Thank you! Mat

Yep recently downloaded this for a project at work as well as donated as product appeared perfect for my requirements, however the fact it does not have option to keep last accesse…

i wanna know whether this application can support arm version, i mean, official since i don't know how to build it from source code.

Right click on files offers already the Copy To option (Ctr-T). Can we also have a option for moving selected files to a new folder, please? Rationale: I am uploading large numbers…
