FreeFileSync Forum

OK. I've just realised that's "days.hours:minutes:seconds". That wasn't obvious to me at first.

Run a compare and then use the boxes below to show what categories you want to view The default settings hides equal files I think To single single items, you can highlight them. Y…

I'm sorry for I'm not a native speaker of English. I use this software for synching my folder of codes and the history files were stored in another folder named history, and I set …

FFS is a sync tool, not a duplicate finder or the like. FFS only compares and syncs identically named files in the same named folder in the same path relative to the FFS left and r…

Having the some trouble with our IT department currently. Since FFS puts the exe on the whitelist of the Defender, the whole application got blocked from security department. Is th…

Perhaps in those cases where Compare is necessary (by widening the scope and I guess FFS already figured out that the scope is widened) then activate the extra button or else leave…

Sorry I dont know I can ask this or not, but is there any other tool available in the market ? or as the freefilesync in opensource software, will any developer able to add support…

i synced them but it took a long time :)

Oh, you switched from English to Italian? Then the log entries are probably Italian, too. So you have to change it in the script. There you find entries for English and German. Her…

Could you explain further how one could implement this scan variant? It would be nice if we could also compare based on file-name alone

Never mind, I found an app that automates all those steps and auto-sync to cloud service with 3 steps. 1. Enter login info 2. Select the local folder 3. Click sync And everything i…

Hello Thanks for the suggestion, I assume it's using the Windows console ? I'm not really comfortable with scripting for that and i don't want to risk losing files and the main poi…

[Quote] +1 For this feature!

"Thank you, I will try to create a scheduled task with a script and test it out. You have helped me; I was out of ideas."

Hello, as I see, there are no changes since 2020 regarding rclone, right? There are many cloudspaces with do not offer FTP/SFTP (by default, or at all). What is the best way to mou…

I've added a screenshot for confirmation.

Oops It's in the filters Sorry

Add Meld as a comparison option, since this program is cross-platform and free. And if this program could also be added to compare synchronization directories, then even better.

[Quote] Sorry, my fault. I meant if the right side is newer or if the file is only at the right side. [Quote] The file won't be deleted on the right side. It will be left as it is …

Never mind; It's a problem with Ventura. I'll contact Apple for help. Thanks.

I restarted everything and when I went to compare the drives again it said they were sync'd so I called it a day. Thanks anyway!

That does not check out fully. Because the Synchronize button will go through only items that became missing due to users moving / deleting or renaming them after them being subjec…

I use that across multiple browsers and computers to sync everything

For the purpose of securing my data for years now I have been using selectively a mixture of BAT and NirCmd scripts, BackUp Maker tasks and manually created copies. What I was miss…

It is not

Exclude the trash directory

[Quote] Good to see that it worked out. I did configure successfully the Microsoft ftp server only I had not yet discovered the per user home directory. I will need to look for tha…

I would very much like this feature too, I sync about 30 folders for security reasons I don't give write access to the software

You can right-click on an already existing task, and then change the user account. That said, the goal of the manual is not to encourage doing this. It's aimed at users who for wha…

Thank you so much for your response! It is great!

Thank you very much Zenju for implementing this and for listening to the wishes of your users/customers. I really appreciate that.

[Quote] The remote PC sets the file name. It does that via an automated SQL backup task. But for every new backup file created, 1 is delete. I only ever want copied on a scheduled …

Implemented for the next version: [Quote] [URL]

(Google) Translation of an meanwhile almost 10 year old [URL]: If Microsoft did not "fix" this in recent Windows versions, it may provide a solution to your problems. Every now and…

You might see what Everything (alpha) can do? [URL] Create a ".db" of 'work computer (A)' Add a "Property" sha-1 (Or, if date/time is sufficient, then no need for the hash.) Includ…

(At first I was going to confirm, but...) [Quote] That said... Maybe... it is more, that... So long as focus stays on FFS, the sync is paused (& so long as there isn't some [mouse/…

Thanks I don't understand the parenthesis, but yes, that is why I reported this here.

Try disabling the Onedrive for business, temporarily, so it does not get in the way of Rclone and free file sync. Rclone is capable of copying files to the mounted cloud drive dire…

[Quote] And such lack of expected changes can go unnoticed forever if the list is long and user will not check in a test if supposedly newly monitored locations really are

Thanks Guys. I did wonder if the scripting method would bypass the issue with two lock files but clearly not. Thanks Plerry and xCSxXenon. Excellent forum support. Just to say I lo…
