Zenju, I can't tell if you're serious or pulling my leg. :-) From your Microsoft quote: - "one item" - "a single shortcut" If every program simply dumped its icons into Start -> Pr…

Hello, i've tested with FFS a bit and it's a great piece of software. I have one sugguestion which might be useful for those using FFS as a backup tool. As far as I understand FFS …

This is one of the worst UI change I ever saw... First of all when you deselect more items quickly you always unckeck unwanted items because they come "up" due list refresh and the…

On my Macbook with Mac OsHighSierra 10.13.2 I want to delete the accompanying paths. [Attachment]

Maybe someone need a bat to do that. [Code]

Hello, I have installed Free File sync and it has synced correctly. However when I try and set up real time sync so it automatically syncs, I get the following message:- Incorrect …

HI. I'm a new user in FreeFileSync, before I used to only copy folders. But now I want to move them. I'm trying everything and it doesn't work. I have created two task: 1 - Copy th…

Well, fashion likes to come back. It's nothing extraordinary and inappropriate. And if someone does not bother to walk in old pants just because they are still quite functional ...

By running similar FFS Two-way variant syncs at both/multiple locations versus a portable disk, e.g. a USB stick, you should be able to achieve what you describe, with the exceptio…

That's the thing I am missing too.

Are you sure you two are having the "same thing"? This post from two years ago speaks of another version of this software. I suggest, that you open a new thread and no ressurect th…

Hello, first of all.. GREATE TOOL and big thanks to all developer/owner! It works very well for all my sync jobs, BUT to improve the speed between A-B, it would be nice to have a c…

Does anyone know how to setup FFS for ACD? Cheers

The people who provide free programs have to eat, just like the rest of us, so they deserve to make some money from their software. Often, the way they do that is to get paid to bu…

That link to the post and the complete thread should answer that. [URL]

I really appreciate the tip there. I would most def. test it and see if it works and feels smoother to work in that fashion. Having said that, I really would like FFS to keep my re…

This sounds more like a setup/configuration issue rather than a fundamental problem with RTS. But it's probably not possible to solve this without going into details.

I need to compare and sync a single folder on one drive with a folder and its subfolders located on another drive. I will always be copying files from the folder with subfolders ov…

Let's not forget the IMHO preferred solution of creating multiple configurations and dynamically merging only those that you need at a specific time: [URL]

Ok, thank you very much.

hmm - I'm coming back to this one.... cause Relative Path is too short, but Full Path is too long... I sync the folders Desktop, and Downloads from multiple WIN/MAC hosts to a cent…

Not sure if this is the correct answer, but this is how I handle it... - I have a linux server as central point (access via ssh and smb) - I run FFS on Mac and Windows boxes, synch…

My bad! I found a reply to an earlier posting for this issue. I am currently running Android-7. The previous post states that this should be fixed in the Android-8 release. (BTW- I…

I think that's a very good idea! Edit: But ... maybe as an option! It may make sense to use the creation date for the later deletion of old versions.

I'm not able to reproduce this.

Press first the Compare button and then the Synchronize button. See also: [URL]

Does FFS create a folder for corrupted folders/files or those with issues? The reason I'm asking is that I was syncing data between Win Server 2003 (admin. account and ran from an …

I Never got it to work. Tossed the 800I (Ouch)

Are you saving sync configurations? In this case manual reordering is possible (via ATL+PgUp/PgDown)

[Quote] Indeed. Thanks, Gianni. Fixed!

At the time I posted this, the forum wasn't clean. However, the spammer is now gone. Thanks.

FreeFileSync has the option to [URL] after copy which might add value in some cases. But, make sure to read the "Note:" and link-part of the relevant section.

I installed in C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync. All seems fine and I didn't even needed to open the settings file. Thank you. Regards, DANIEL

Zenju, you are correct, and I noticed that also. The Malwarebytes flag is coming from new installed premium version 3.2.2. The versions of the various antivirus/malware engines in …

To the extent that the encryption is done at file-level: yes

Are there limitations on the number of files to sync? - Frequently Asked Questions [URL] Anyway you can always split a sync job in smaller parts if needed.

Thanks Gianni1962. I'll take a look tonight.

RC 4 is not a regular synchronization error, but a general failure of FFS to even start. I assume you've been updating FFS and somewhere in the middle a batch job started while the…

oops! Please forget what I said. I was just confused by settings priority, which global setting has priority to local settings. Sorry for it.

/etc/samba/smb.conf: [Code] ...does not work in my tests. Yes, it makes the "DeviceIoControl, FSCTL_SET_SPARSE" call succeed, but now BackupWrite will fail with a mysterious ERROR_…

Dear all, I have a question regarding RealTimeSync. I'm using FreeFileSync since a while and I think it is the best sync tool sinc rsync. "Since rsinc" because it much quicker in f…

Okay, thank you :-) Then I have to consider a work around ;-) Regards

I use the mirror option to sync. I had this error about a half year ago (or longer) many times. These ._. file are hidden files. I made the exclude filter to do not backup them. Be…

Take a look at the batch job section in the manual: [URL]

I sync my data files to 2 places: External HDD and my USB stick. When I sync to my USB for the first time it takes forever to sync. My data files size is 452 MB. I'm doing an initi…

Hi, great application. I would like it if I was able to use it to sync 1 large drive to multiple smaller drives. Basically it would combine all the drives on the right side as sort…

Thanks for info Zenju. My mind is put to rest :)

I am confused by a statement in the FAQ that states "The FreeFileSync Donation Edition is expected to be used by a single home user". This appears to conflict with another statemen…

Hello, I'm using FF on Windows and I like it very much. Now I have a small Raspberry Pi, running without GUI, so I use only SSH and command line. I like to switch some sync-functio…
