As I was told, admins can easily use an MSI in Microsoft Software Center but need scripting in case of an EXE. The last backup product we evaluated resulted in a quite complicated …

This was going to be my first post. I also would like FFS for QNAP. Their default backup/sync app is terrible and the ones on myqnap.org aren't much better. They mainly focus on sy…

I AGREE Everything is FAST! I have a desktop file indexer that uses Everything.

That would definitely involve more time and money than it would end up bringing in

I believe the idea was, you run the "chunk" first, & if does not compare, you're done (as in the files are not identical, so no need to compare any further). If it does compare, th…

[Quote] Missed that the first time. Well, aside from that, if you remove the path to the sounds (in Tools | Options), or if you instead enter a path to a "sound" that does not make…

Just to fix permissions. If you keep using FFS with the option to retain ACLs, you should be fine going forward

[Quote] Both "Queries per minute" and "Queries per minute per user" are quotas. And so is the 750 GB per day limit. So the "403: User rate limit exceeded" alone isn't enough to dis…

Thank you ... hopefully that is enough information to figure out the issue. By the way ... I can report that the same exact behavior occurs when a file is hidden and starts with a …

Hi, I synchronized a number of folders at the same time, but had forgotten to change to "PERMANENT" instead of RECYCLE, which generated errors. I tried to clear the error triangle …

Brilliant! :-) So simple and so obvious : thanks so much!

Considering FFS' goal is to sync data without any manipulation, adding such a feature would directly violate that. I wouldn't hold your breath for such an option even to be conside…

Never delete a forum post! Others may have the same or a similar issue and this could be some help!

Hi, If all you're looking to do or primarily looking to do is periodically backing up files or synchronizing those files that are on your Android phone to some other server whether…

Good morning. Having some errors with FFS donation version as below" 9:10:23 PM Error Cannot write file "Google Drive\XXX\2. RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT\P&C dept Database\Advocacy Campaig…

I think the choice for just left-to-right for a Mirror or Update sync prevents a lot of mistakes that may cause data-loss, and thus makes sense. If you want to Mirror or Update syn…

@B4STI1: With the screenshot posted above it looks like there shouldn't be a warning about a multiple folder pair conflict. If there is however, it likely points to a legitimate pr…

Hello FFS. First of all thank you for this wonderfull tool. I just have a request for a problem I sometimes have synchronizing files. I uses FFS to maintain backup copies of my fil…

You are right, my mistake, sorry. I read: "if not errorlevel = 0, but I thought of "if not errorlevel 0". That is of course something different.

Hi I have been using Linux freefile sync for years and its great. Just started using it on a Pi 5 and it frequently reports an incorrect size of file to be transferred, any way to …

Better yet, it's open source! Make your own changes!

Hi there, I would like to request a new feature to be added to the FFS system so that I can use it with a commercial client of mine. I would then become a commercial user of FFS an…

Hi there, I wonder whether this can be mapped with Freefilesync: Source: Contains all project folders of a company. All folders start with <P><year><project number> followed by the…

Sorry for my omission, I need only one-way "mirror" copy which doesn't need detecting phone files timestamps. In other words, detecting changes of PC files is needed but detecting …

Thankls both. However, when I checked the global settings file,it is also showing autoclose as false.

Thank you. I have done that and it works. But it's very inconvenient to keep up with multiple command lines for different jobs, and it is impossible to use a single job to backup u…

I would like to request that FreeFileSync add S3 support (AWS & compatible services). Yes, it is possible to use other tools to mount S3 locally, but that is dramatically less effi…

No, I would like to be able to see at what time/date the Mirror or the backup was made. Either in a file or the date stamp on the map that was made. Writing this I just found out t…

I refer to the CALL or Start /wait instruction when talking about scripting. Those are *.bat and *.cmd commands; not part of FFS. An excellent reference for *.bat or *.cmd scriptin…

The layout differences are intentional to save screen space for the manual. The missing description for "run a command" is mostly due to feeling that this is a half-baked feature t…

[Quote] If you already use Task Scheduler, this shouldn't be any easier from within the FFS GUI than within a batch file.

FFS is for synchronizing and what you are looking to do wouldn't fall under that categorization

[Quote] I tried to wait five minutes before running the next syncing, but it didn't seem helpful. Two db files have totally different size and they were considered have "conflicts …

What is a thread to you? Are you referring to a process thread or how thread is used in FFS? Either way, you provided a suggestion but didn't say how this could be an improvement.

It would be very useful to have a read-only folder setting in FreeFileSync for scenarios where I am mounting a read-only synchronization source. My use case is mounting a volume th…

New Ubuntu user here (20.04j. My issue was I was trying to sync USB Flash Drives automatically for another user. When RealTimeSync was running (and I was sitting at their computer)…

@therube It seems TS wants to just copy the folder-tree without any of its content, similar to a Windows xcopy command with the /t option (or /t /e if you also want to copy empty f…

Thanks for acknowledging that it is different. I do not see the word 'incorrect' or similar in my initial post. I was only asking why it was different, such as showing a Target dis…

Not sure what you mean by column header. At top of column is name Compare, below that is Drag & Drop, at the bottum of the Compare column is Relative Path. If I right click on Rela…

Nevermind, kept poking... No support for 10.5.8. [URL]

First of all, thanks for the suggestion! I'm currently running a .ffs_batch through the Windows Task Scheduler and executing a .bat file on synchronization success. The execution o…

[Quote] With recent heat here, I found that the open HDD dock actually ran hotter then putting the same drive in a caddy, into a drive bay in the computer itself. As it was, I got …

[Quote] [URL] [Quote] Move detection works fine as long as the moves happen on a device that supports file IDs, even if the target device doesn't, e.g. SFTP.

Nice idea. I hate that the source code isn't available. Who knows what this actually does

File content will take a long time, every time. Unfortunately, size comparison can't be disabled

Sweet! Thank you!
