FreeFileSync Forum

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.

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…

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…

Yes it works now! Maybe there was a space before my "*\._*" expression? Anyway thanks for your help ! Have a good day !

Files are often stored on NASes and other server systems with Unix-like OSes. For easier hiding the sync DB from being accessed by client systems it helps if the DB-file is a Unix …

I've just quickly tested this and it works (all one command line) [Code] So, in this example, would just need "%parent_path%" (quotes added on command line) to resolve to "/Users/C…

Compare and sync are two separate stages in FFS. A full compare must run before a sync can start. You may look into breaking the single sync into many subsets of data, then compare…

Well, My cryptonator is still working on Onedrive without any issues.

I think the algorithm has changed a bit since 11.13. Unfortunately, there is no perfect way to calculate it, every option has certain situations that cause it to be inaccurate. I t…

Gotcha! No, Task Scheduler is simply running FFS as you define. FFS and Task Scheduler have nothing to do with each other software-wise. [URL] Looks pretty straightforward luckily!

And thus there are two reasons for users to be able to control the default Maximum Idle Time: to avert annoying repetition during initial "updates" [i.e. creation of] FFS_REAL file…

OK, it is clear to me now how FFS / RTS work in these regards - thank you for your help. I got confused: the last time I stupidly mixed up in my head [Quote] with just monitored fo…

Hundreds? No. Dozens? Yes I do not trust blindly and jump into allowing any program to potentially affect all of my data from the get go. As with everything [like for example in ca…

You are taking a very inefficient approach. For your example, you can use a single left-right base-folder pair: C:\ <=> D:\project and either change the FFS Include Filter from the…

You should actually just use "File History" built into Windows. Unless you are wanting an indefinite version history, it is designed to do exactly what you describe.

Thank you for the links about this situation.

I didn't even know you could fullscreen RTS! I can't imagine needing all that space lol It would be nice to have it consistent with FFS

Ah yes! I could see a mash of run-on numbers being tough to sort through

[Quote] So long as there is an option, I'm for it. If not, I'm against. [URL] [URL]

1) Correct. As discussed multiple times in this forum. 2) If there will never be any other, concurrent FFS syncs involving C:\ (and/or Z:\) you should be safe to not use the lock f…

Ok but not always it's used for remote files, like I use it in my LAN between a raid and a nas, and a bit-to-bit comparsion it's the same to download the whole file to compare with…

That's indeed an inconsistency: FFS indicates a changed configuration, but does not actually save GridViewType for an ffs_batch file. Fixed in 12.4.

Your suggestion seems a pretty bad idea. When resuming the Comparison, a whole lot may have changed in the part of files and folders that were already compared and of which the com…

Yes, but if we fit the icon color of these 2 options, it will be much easier to see the changes to be made.
