When I complained, I'd thought that the exclusions were gone for good until I re-scanned. But now that I know the rather obscure method of alternately hiding and restoring the excl…

The problem: folders can be synced by another application (say e.g. Total Commander, or just by windows explorer doing the same at two locations). When in a subsequent FFS sync att…

Thank you!!!

I was having a look at the FFS source code and was wondering where the code that hashes the SFTP password (before it is stored in the FFS batch/sync files) is exactly? We are calli…

Thanks for explaining Zenju. I will minimize the windows to the dock instead, it seems to keep the same speed. :) Thank you

The network credentials handling definitively should get some overhaul: [URL]

Is it possible to sync files among folders while converting them to a different format? My music collection is in FLAC, but some apps won't recognize it and want mp3 files instead.…

Most of the files of my backup do not change between two backups, but if I choose to compare files by content, all files, even those not modified since years, are compared by conte…

This option is already available under synchronization settings ("Handle errors").

When synchronizing large disks (e.g. with more than 1 000 000 files) the synchronization process may take 15 minutes and more. The number of Elements found is shown with the time p…

This may or may not be a contributing factor to the longstanding bug preventing FreeFileSync from being launched from other processes that remain running: [URL]

Hello folks, have a wonderful day to all of you.. I have problem regarding in syncing of game folders in 55 PC, can someone know the fix of directory lock? Can I sync a multiple ba…

I've added a check to only copy extended attributes if the target volume natively supports it instead of creating these AppleDouble files. Here's the new version, let me know if th…

Since version 7.9 you can do a [URL] directly from GUI without having to change global settings.

No idea?!

Same here. Please make this happened !! Especially when I am forging two similar folders on the same drive into one directory. Copy as unchangeable default is definitely not conven…

Zenju... Thank you. I had already tested "Run With Background Priority", but it is very, very slow ... I will have patience lol! About compression, you would have something lighter…

Hi, at first: Thank you for this great piece of software, which I use since years. Some days ago I bought a second 4 TB external harddisk. I synced the content of the first harddis…

Hello Zenju, i suggest to warn/ask the user if he do some critical actions in the gui. Suggestion1: Warn/ask the user : do really want to change the sync direction? yes / no. Sugge…

Thank you very much!

Your terminology is confusing: > ... if there's a way to avoid a third folder and just have "c:\source" and "d:\revisions" where files overwritten or deleted in "c:\source" will be…

For us, the false postives almost killed installation of this software in its tracks... not good. Yes, I can certainly understand Zenju need for funding. Who doesn't need that? On …

Feature Enhancement: "Exclude via filter:" with a capture subfolder option eg \folder1\* Version: FreeFileSync 7.8 Windows Platform This would be an additional filter style(s) when…

Upon defining a new sync, but particularly also after updating the software I make it a habit of first running a comparision and then evaluate if the comparison results match my ex…

Wow, you're amazing, Zenju! Great work! Did a quick install and tested some saved jobs with the new file-size-only-option. Seems to work VERY well! This really induces to make a do…

Thanks for all and for the very good software. I will ask you if it's possible implement in the new version the possibility to use a Rsync protocolo. My regards Pietro

Use MultiPAR so you can recover bad data. That said, as a separate matter, block level copying in FFS would be great.

+1, it would be a very interesting feature... for backing up purposes even more than syncing...
