FreeFileSync Forum

I've followed the instructions, created a job, created the batch file and the RealTime config file. If I run the job, FFS opens up and is usable as expected. If I run the batch job…

I sync from local PC to Network Device. the sync itself works fine but when need to delete something on the network folder ther is always a warning "The Recycle Bin is not availabl…

Here is how it looks out of the box: [Attachment] You need to delete the "%f" and at that exact location insert the location of the "ffs_batch" file: [Attachment] That's it and wor…

There is not

adding a bit more context, maybe it helps, terminal exit message is this one when you bring up context right click menu: [Code] Thanks in advance for looking into this.

hi, can you share it again? i too failed at compiling it :(

resolved, thank you. I had turned off the shortcuts that are placed on the desktop during the installation process - which I don't really care for - and this prevented me from seei…

Thanks I am not quite sure how to take "switched to". I just downloaded the zip and a grep on the runner does not quite reflect the switch. Maybe that is just my very limited knowl…

Screenshots would help: The result of FreeFileSync comparison with rar files missing and Windows Explorer showing the same files as existing.

If you have the Donation version installed, if you go to Help / Check for updates now a "Check for updates now" window pops up which, if you do not have the latest FFS version inst…

NTFS Thank you for reaching out. I am unclear just what was wrong, but I have found a partial remedy. I uninstalled FFS completely and removed all the batch files. I downloaded the…

Considering the I/O error message, I would start with the OpenDrive<->rclone connection

[Quote] I manually did this: Folder A, B, C -> copy into cloud -> Folder A, B, C Now, the two screenshots you see: Folder A, B, C local copy Folder A, B, C cloud copy How are they …

Performance likely won't be any different anyway

Correction: I just used the application on Windows and now it too has the OOM issue! Please fix this :'(

Hi all. I usually work with FreeFileSync 14.09, Donation Edition, under Debian 13. Today I cannot log to Internet and received a message asking for an activation key. I get the cor…

UPDATE: SOLVED I tried to reinstall v14.9 first and then v14.7 but I was having the same issue. Then I reinstalled v14.10 and first of all deleted the google drive account saved in…

Very few information on what the problem is, maybe. I am thinking along error messages...

I have a hunch that the folder was not really renamed at the file system level, but only at the Windows shell level. In other words, you have a desktop.ini file that contains the d…

I have the same issue with two symbolic links within one of my sync folders since updating to 14.10, one pointing to a file on my OneDrive, and the other one to a folder in Users/P…

Read the [URL] description. When the LockDirectoriesDuringSync flag is set to "true" (the default value), you must have write access to both the left and right base location. By th…

Hi, Using a USB cable to an Android phone and I have a Samsung also is not very reliable. I recommend installing an app from the Google Play app store that supports FTP and use FTP…

Hai Plerry, Thanks for your response. It worked. Really appreciate your response

When in doubt, run (just) a Compare, review the proposed sync actions, and only if those proposed sync actions match your intended sync actions click Synchronize.

It's really easy. My problem was: how do I exclude the rest? Thank you very much!

Hi Zenju, I have installed the beta version, the error message has changed to a warning and completed successfully: Cannot write modification time of "sftp://[REDACTED].xml.zip". S…

Getting the attached error when syncing to my NAS. Any way to acknowledge/ignore this error automagically? Thanks Found the setting... new user... thanks.

Hi, There is no super easy way to do a synchronization without looking at the files. You just want to make sure the app you're using does so efficiently and I don't have any idea h…

Cool. Glad to assist. I do a lot of networking tech.

Hello, First of all, thank you for developing FreeFileSync. I use the NVDA screen reader on Windows and would like to report several accessibility issues. While testing with **NVDA…

Your installation's resource files are corrupted, please reinstall. The unhelpful error message will be fixed in the next release.

Yes, that worked, thanks!

I changed drives so I changed the drive letters in the sync settings, saved it, then saved to a batch file, then drug and dropped the batch file into RealTimeSync, the drive letter…

Thanks

Hello Plerry, please excuse my delayed response! Thank you so much for the excellent explanation. I think I'll try writing a batch file so that the Firefox bookmarks synchronize wh…

Please disregard this June 13, 2026 post. I was unaware that my word processing program was open on one of the pcs when I attempted to sync the pcs. Once I closed the program, the …

Plerry, your response pointed me in the right direction, and I'm now all good. Thank you.

[Quote] FWIW, that's what those scripts in the linked thread do for you

FFS is warning you because you are using a database to track changes. This adds the ability to detect this conflict, which is good, because then FFS would sync those files every si…

In trying to resolve this I have found a a problem on my PC set up which is causing this (duplicate files being created). I'll stop this. Thanks for the input and help.

How are you figuring out that FFS is deleting/copying instead of moving?

How can I get the second one activated?? thanks

[Quote] What did not work? The second task again or the reproduction? [Quote] Exceptions? [Quote] I guess it's something else...

[Quote] Mine also does NOT. There is no "Inclusion" option for those two filters, so there is not a way to swap them. And if there is a way, I did not implement it. [Quote] The Inc…

Thanks again Plerry ! MW
