FreeFileSync Forum

[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…

Hi, Personally, I never trust moves for that very reason. Use ffs to mirror the files from source to destination and when you know that the destination has all of the files delete …

Hi @alone I'm working on an Rclone Tips page. I'll post the link when I have it formatted. It will help you with the basics and getting started creating a remote. I've been using F…

[Quote] Reminds of the "ALT+F4" prank! :D

If you need to use a quote at all, please only quote the relevant part of the post you respond to, not the entire post.

In the access online storage I would like you to add a https option. - This option would recursively scan the https site using the head verb to gather a list of file and directorie…

It would be a new button in the Synchronization Settings - Comparison

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.

Hello. I have 2000 files to sync using a file list and… it work using filters. Nice

Yes ! It's working now. Thank you for your prompt response and your great software.

This doesn't seem possible for FFS

Thank you for the Dark Mode, made donation as well

What I was thinking was a checkbox in Options below the "Delete logs after x days" that is off by default that says something like "Don't Save Log If Nothing to synchronise". I cou…

Hello, Would the developers be open to registering freefilesync.org in the Brave Rewards program? [URL] Thanks Dave

So, just what was the issue?

This thread is helpful for preserving the folder timestamps: [URL]

What is available in FFS is [URL]. By proper choice of the From and/or To date, you can achieve all of the above.

Which Linux version is this? The FreeFileSync installer registers the app in /usr/share/applications so it should be found in the application launcher afterwards.

The sequence in which your pairs are listed is not relevant for your sync. It is at best relevant for your own "administration". But, if you still want, you can click the black arr…

Your approach could work. However, I doubt that I can identify a common, unique and available characteristic of socket files, other than that they are socket files. And if the name…

Apparently SharePoint can be fixed! This is the real solution rather ignoring something as fundamental as file size: [URL]

Anything every come of that google search? (Some, perhaps much of the highest hits are outright wrong, btw.) I've got something I came up with, but I'm not even certain that is cor…

There is nothing for the user to do. FreeFileSync detects and syncs files/folders differing in case. Unless there are conflicts, as Plerry mentioned.

I understand. Under the circumstances, that's exactly what I want. It would be nice, though, if that was one of the options when setting up a backup, so it could be set up individu…

Better, consistent and centralized promotion of the app among Linux distribution, among other things. I invite you to read the specs.

Been a feature for years and isn't related to RTS, but rather your FFS configuration. FFS doesn't change anything on its own, so somebody was clicking in the configurations setting…

You are talking about two different things. Reading/writing every byte on the disk is referred to as a "refresh". This functionality is best done at a hardware level, not a file-sy…

From the [URL]: [Quote] So, it is OK to have it installed on more than one computer. But I believe there is a built-in check on (excessive) distribution.

No, the "Stop" button interrupts file copying, unlike "Pause", which completes all pending file transfers first. [Quote] No this won't happen (unless you disable fail-safe file cop…

I don't know anything of Dropbox, but does the section on [URL] apply?

Actually, all my testing was done with the free version. As I noted in my original post, the free version is fine for this purpose, but it exhibits the described issue. But thank y…
