FreeFileSync Forum

The option should 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…

Wow! Thank you very much.

Hello everybody. This is my first post in this comunity. I'm trying to use this software to backup data to my new WD Cloud Home and the copy is doned correctly. But, with a problem…

1. Todo, but a difficult one due to technicalities. 2. [URL]

OK, after quick investigation, I dropped my request. Effectively the activation is done only once, the magic apparently relies on install.dat file that is updated after activation.…

You might be able to configure your desktop environment (e.g., GNOME, Unity, MATE, Cinnamon, etc.) to perform a certain action when a usb drive is plugged in. I use Cinnamon and wh…

This seems to be an issue specific to your setup as I haven't heard of similar complaints.

Hi All Linux Mint 17.2 32 bit. I downloaded FFS using [Quote] and all appears ok. However, an error screen "Cannot find current FreeFile Sync version on line.........." comes up. H…

A new column showing days since last sync has been implemented in FFS 9.7.

Hello, As I see the FreeFileSync only sync Folders, but files. I noticed that all the folders are empty, there is no file... What the matter did cause that?

Hello I've been using Freefilesync for over a year now, and it's fantastic. I now need to sync two computers to my NAS, so that the data on both computers is identical. (I won't be…

Hello everyone, it's been a while since the last reply on this topic but i have to agree with Giangi here. I've used v8.1 for a long time and was thinking it's time to upgrade to v…

Okay. Its possible that the daylight saving time feature isn't available in windows xp? I see the option in win 7, but on winxp there is no way to set. Yes, my father is ugly with …

[Code] Would be one solution (if FFS supported a command line before sync rather than after).

I should elaborate a bit. Because movement in view of the camera can be quite random, new folders can be created and files written to them at almost any time. So there is no way of…

I didn't know that about filtering via clicking in the comparison window [Example 2]! Thank you! That'll save me some trouble for portable devices. (PS. The reason I prefer not to …

I'm doing exactly the same thing with a 2 GB Passport drive. I'm not having this problem but I have a vague memory of having it. My memory might be incorrect but I think my solutio…
