FreeFileSync Forum

It would be nice to have the option to choose different color schemes. It would be nice to have the option to customize the look and feel of FreeFileSync.

Thanks for the responses. Have installed it now! Seems like the unzip-process may have caused the problem. The failing setup (.exe) was around 15k and gave an error message when I …

[Quote] Many thanks @xCSxXenon ;) This situation was causing me some confusion and, therefore, I was putting these files in `Exclude`!... ahahah :)) It makes perfect sense to be as…

If your large folder comprises multiple subfolders, then you can use FFS and define [URL]. E.g. C:\SourceFolder\SubFolder1 => E:\Backup\SubFolder1 and C:\SourceFolder\SubFolder2 =>…

But there is 2 measures, number of files and size of files. Taking the average should fit.

Thanks for the detailed answer and the solution for file type filters - I will go with a single folder pair given the advantages you mentioned. That said, I can see several argumen…

No

I'd like it to work this way as a fail safe method. I have structural designs in construction job. The work computer have a shared network drive which saved all on going jobs. That…

FFS knows nothing about s3 storage. You likely need to mount the s3 storage using an open source cloud mounting program.

Sorry, I can't agree: It should indeed be synchronised, but only on the basis of the file name and date. I would just like to leave out the size ...

Idea: currently, there are two ways to compare files when dealing with Google Drive sync: by time and size and file content (byte-by-byte comparison) However, I noticed that gdrive…

Is there a way to limit the filesize of the LogFile when an error occurred? For example, the disk is full, or the drive is lost during a sync?

You could: - Create a second sync that doesn't shut down - Change the setting prior to running the sync - Cancel the sync before it finishes - Change the post-sync command to wait …

👓 💾 do not impart enough meaning. You did hint to it before, but I've forgotten. And you can't "search" for them. Even if there were a mouseover that would help the forgetful. (Oh,…

Yes. CompactOS seems normally to compact just the OS files, but I use it to compact all the program files too; some programs are quite large normally. What's available for people i…

[Quote] A real puzzle, indeed! :) These two pieces of information gave it away: [Quote] Confusingly, the existence of the results screen after each sync doesn't make any sense when…

Thanks, I understand now. In this case, I guess all folder synchronization apps are working in the same way

My compare process took over 24 hours to complete and was for over 7TB of data. Why can't we get some kind of pause ability even if the pause is not instantaneous but rather let it…

This can be done with Robocopy: [URL] Also been discussed on this forum quite a bit. There are various scripts that you can have run post-sync [URL] [URL]

The warning is just that: a warning. It does not block anything; your FFS sync will run just fine. As an alternative you can use [URL]. This will retain as many previous versions a…

@Plerry Your suggestion is the solution I was looking for. I had some confusion at first. I had in FFS the path to Folder1 and Folder2 (Update). At first I couldn't figure out wher…

Thanks a lot! I'll follow that thread. Yes, it's exactly the same problem I'm having!

[Quote] Please change the part where you can set what happens on certain differences back to pre ffs13. It was so easy to understand what you do with these icons in previous versio…

I was looking for a backup program that would have the following characteristics: 1. The backed up files could be opened on another computer without having to have the original bac…

No :-( Default is thirty . . . Something told me it was there, or maybe I remembered seeing the option. But I didn't find it. . . Sorry . . .

For security reasons, I have the same wish: mirror synchronization of server drives with a restricted user (readonly service user) on a local NAS. Thank you in advance!

I found the problem. I did not run the task with the rights of another user. Thanks everyone for your help

Got the script working as far as I need it. If anybody needs the same and finds this thread, here it is: [URL] The .exe file is a Windows executable, beside the Dart source code. M…

Thank you so much

Hmmm I will have to investigate this. So you can't select a subfolder to filter out? Just a master folder?

[Attachment] You mean this? I don't see where it asks for a donation, but I do see where it thanks you for a donation. There is a button to take you to the donate page but it's jus…

[Quote] Thank you my friend 👍.

Just a quick note to say this app really saves time and effort sync'ing devices. And I haven't really used this much. I'm sure there are other aids other than simple sync'ing of di…

OK I will set a test up and learn filters, thanks :)

Thanks for this reply, I will try soon.

I'm a long way from rich but I can afford a computer and a backup drive. So I can afford the odd few $ to send to FFS. Please put 1$ a month in a jar and then send it to them at ch…

The fact that the size is of a left- and right-side file is the same ("correct" in your terms) does not necessarily mean the content is the same. Obviously this even holds for file…
