Actually you can but I'm not sure about a RealTimeSync for three locations. Try it. On the main screen, click on the green plus sign to add another folder pair.

You may disagree, but FFS does exactly what you tell it to do: make an exact Mirror (source to target) of all files and folders that are in the scope of the sync. Per the Time Span…

RSync does not copy files in readable format from one device to another. I'm using it now to 'backup' one share on my primary NAS, to my backup NAS. The Share appears on the backup…

Well, it sounds like OP is setting a command line option for the context menu, which is related to FFS obviously. They seem to be saying that the command doesn't work and isn't sav…

There is only one timeout used for all cases. Setting "access timout" to 40 seconds instead of 10 should work.

Are there any instructions for building ffs from source for the windows applications? I've looked on several githubs but can't find any. In most cases when an application is said t…

[Quote] Very simple ofc.. If it detects that the target or source (depending on sync method) is an SMB share, ignore the recycle bin as it does not have one. So no, it doesn't make…

I need a way to filter out comparisons for Mac app contents, i e everything under .app/ in an macOS app folder hierarchy, yet that copies the whole app folder if that is missing or…

That capability is already provided via the OS: [URL]

Hello FreeFileSync Team, I am an avid user of FreeFileSync on both Windows and macOS. While the software is incredibly useful, I have encountered a couple of issues when syncing fi…

[Quote] Is your Target location? Are you able to access that from the source computer using (oh, Linux) - using not sure, but some equivalent to Windows Explorer (& outside of any …

[Quote] Interesting. When FFS is run via Task Manager with option "Run whether user is logged on or not" set, user interaction is not possible. I suspect this is what you've set up…

Rather than risk it I unencrypted the source and encrypted after transfer. Being new I am still learning and may write a piece after more experiences. I am looking into which email…

[Quote] Can't hurt to try I suppose

[Quote] Browse to it [Quote] So what? A crash itself doesn't explicitly infer any state of your data, so this question is waaaay too open-ended [Quote] You decided where they went,…

No

Are you using the native GDrive integration? Either way, this must mean the file ID is changing on Google's side, causing the desync

[Quote] Read the docs to know what it does and make your own determination

Considering your earlier posts specified OneDrive, that is likely the one in use. This isn't a FFS issue though, it is how the VFS is implemented by the cloud provider, unfortunate…

Thank you for the reply.

Interestingly, I have found that if I leave my user account logged in through RDP, it runs the command and sends the email.

It's very possible that I'm just missing or haven't considered something. The /1 and /2 locations are SD card slots on a BMD Hyperdeck recorder - both listed under the IP of the Hy…

Almost six months later, almost impressed lol

There is no workaround AFAIK. The location simply lacks the implementation of reading for changes, thus can't be monitored for them

#therube What OS are we running? -> FFS 13.7 x64 Windows does NOT synch Files from PC to USB-Drive (I suppose that might not be shown if sometime in the past you ticked the 'Don't …

[Quote] Thank you so much! I've tested the beta version and everything is fine now.

FreeFileSync does not give any option to verify the host key with an SSH connection and connects to an SFTP server no matter what host key is presented. This opens up FreeFileSync’…

[Quote] It has been suggested, and it will pretty much always be slower. The reason downloads are compressed is because thousands/millions of people download them, so the bandwidth…

Ah, I was assuming you were just short-handing the paths for simplicity/privacy.... Yes, you would need an SMB share with those locations inside

[Quote] This has literally nothing to do with anything.

If you're still looking for an Android solution, I use this software from the Google Play Store. It turns your cell phone into an SFTP server, and then you can use the SFTP protoco…

Here is the Download link for Proton Drive Software. [URL] Install this and you can use FFS.

Nope, those settings just don't exist anymore so they get reset to the default value when opened in the older version of FFS

neither drive is full and Ive already set permissions

Thanks, I appreciate the update on the threads & delay. One the Processed... just seems odd to me, that in a file *SYNC* app, we wouldn't care about bytes transferred, but bytes *s…

Since upgrading to 13.7 donation I can't back up to an SD card. I tried once and got lots of errors re: sync.ff_lock. After that retries stall with error 'waiting while directory i…

Ah, my version was 8 years old so I missed the cutoff. As I said 'not broke, don't fix it'. Could have at least had a warning of the usual 'if upgrading from a version older than n…
