Hi! Currently, during sync, there're 2 real-time graphs. Both graphs currently show the same gray projection line, which predicts completion based only on current data transfer spe…

I don't think that kind of write caching is common, the kind where you have an actual separate ssd to buffer writes, but even then you could just measure how busy the drive is as s…

Thank you for your answer. When managing multiple devices, can the license period for each device be managed separately? If I purchase the first unit on January 1, 2025 and the sec…

Rsync is a very difficult app to use in comparison. I understand that you're fixated on using a UNC path and not a drive letter being mapped to that UNC Pad but why don't you give …

[Quote] I encountered this my first time using the tool. The way it works is somewhat counter-intuitive given the literal definition of a "mirror" is to make the source path look l…

Thanks for the reply. I think, looking at the final post of that thread, the answer to my question is no.

[Quote] The "problem" description in your initial posting clearly indicates you have no clue how to use the combination of FFS and RTS. And that is exactly what is explained in the…

[Quote] Most users are idiots. My response didn't indicate that at all, but it is true. [Quote] I know how to use this software better than you do, so chances are my assumption fro…

[Quote] You double posted, I'm assuming by accident, so I was linking the other thread from here. Please, don't reply to this thread, as it would off-topic from the already duplica…

thanks for your answers! yes i meant a filter for the configurations not for profiles, sorry... Something like that would be fabulous - just as a suggestion: [Attachment]

I suspect that system dark mode became active while FFS was running, which isn't supported. An app restart will fix the color glitch.

On the left, under the Configuration section, there is the Overview section with expandable/collapsible folders, may be this is what you are looking for. [Image]

It's a known limitation: [URL] [URL] [URL]

I would find option 3 very useful, so clarification on this query would be great. Thanks

3. In the sync settings (F8) you have the option to "Run a command" respectively "on completion", "On errors" and on "Succes". I believe you can only use one of those three (but ne…

First, I like this program a lot. (In fact, I made a donation.) Recently, I upgraded a couple of PC's so they can run on Windows 11. These are used only for backup purposes and run…

I believe that this is a bug. I have spent a lot of time without success. • When using FFS/RTS on a Google Drive folder that contains some files that are made available offline (ke…

I understand that there are alternatives ([r]clone, airlivedrive, WebDAV, ..) to a direct FFS connection to OneDrive. However, the tools typically require local admin rights, and W…

Hi, when i go to "Synchronization Settings" i can chosse on or more commands to run after completion. This works. When i start a sync there is an extra field "When finished". But h…

Hi, Check out this program called foldersync it might do what you want to do. [URL] Otherwise I would recommend an SFTP server running on the phone. [URL]

[URL] Good quality NVMe SSDs have built-in thermal protection and throttling, so you don't need to do anything manually. If you want to reduce thermals to maintain better and longe…

okay i have revised my thoughts and also discovered winmerge , after thinking more i believe what i want is to have action signs on sides of folders in overview section as the firs…

This has always been resolved on the NAS side. Make sure it is up to date

Please read the manual for the function of RealTimeSync [URL] If you are fine with manually running the file sync to update the changed file, using FreeFileSync alone would be fine…

As its name suggests, FreeFileSync (FFS) is a synchronization tool. As such, it only Compares identically named files in the identical file location relative to the left and right …

[Quote]FFS runs a full Compare on all specified locations and proposes sync Actions based on the pre-sync status and FFS's sync settings. (If you want, you can even modify your syn…

[Quote] I would argue that consistency and clarity improves the user experience and would have spared us from this dialog. As the application currently behaves, the header only cha…

I created a new configuration and that seemed to work as I wanted so I think I am all set. The only thing different with this one was that I didn't have to empty the trash after it…

Thanks for the extra tip, Zenju, I’ll keep that in mind!

ForFiles on its own or in a batch script is a much better way to accomplish this. You could even have the command be ran by FFS as a post-sync command if you so wanted.

[Quote] Sure, drives can be folder mounted, but that is <0.001% of cases. In seven years and thousands of computers I've worked on, the only drive I've seen mounted as a folder is …

I have struggled a lot to sync my QNAP NAS TS-233 to sync with my local systems. Ultimately could get success to do it. These days QSync app of QNAP does not have option to select …

The new option DOES NOT WORK for me. Those icons say difference but what if the files are equal? I test out the suggestions in the link by editing a file in the source directory so…

Plerry, I believe I have everything figured out. I overlooked the fact that realtimesync automatically converts into the _real file. I was looking for a way to create the _real fil…

#1 and #3 do not seem to be a remark, not a question #2: For Two-way syncs (and Mirror-syncs) the best protection against accidental deletion of files is to use [URL]. Of files tha…

I installed version 14.2. Then, I installed version 14.3 (I didn’t upgrade from 14.2 to 14.3, but ran the 14.3 installer), and the problem was fixed.

None.

Would it be too difficult to add a feature where I am making a copy of all the files from a filesharing server, but I don't want to copy duplicates of the same file it has already …

FreeFileSync is not the tool for doing what you describe above.
