FreeFileSync Forum

I just did a sync which (besides the actual new and updated files) reported this - 851 conflicts - "both sides have changed" etc.... what does this mean? I haven't touched these pa…

I have two folders with videos I took on my phone in them. Both folders have the same videos in them with identical names but some of the videos in each folder are ones that were c…

[URL] You can also run another comparison to see if there are any differences that matter

Versioning is only for files. Folders are only used to maintain directory structure for versioning. You could look into File History or a scheduled task that copies the saved-game …

I think I understand what the author of this is saying. I recently had a drive start having bad sectors and corruption while it was doing a FFS two-way sync. After that I tried fix…

Updated 13.5 to 13.6 on my Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers and everything is working fine here

I only wrote "it is not realistic to assume ...". Nowhere do I write that YOU assume anything, despite your false claim to the contrary. So, I did not misrepresent what you wrote a…

Uninstall and reinstall

[Quote] Hi, may I cover up the folder & file names shown in the window, or do you need to see those listed in the screenshot? Thanks.

[Quote] This executable, e.g. C:\Users\Zenju\AppData\Local\Temp\is-6B40T.tmp is properly signed. Other than that there's little one can do about this procedure. These are the shena…

Running under SYSTEM also runs it with the SYSTEM credentials, meaning it is trying to access the NAS/network locations with them, and they probably don't have the necessary permis…

I don't know Gdrive in detail, but several cloud storage services retain previous versions of any files that get updated. And obviously, FFS updates the Gdrive-side *.ffs_db file a…

OS: Kubuntu 22.04 EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. First time install,the 'New' button is greyed out, on the interface and in the File menu.

Update 9.37 fix problem... I’ll leave it here, maybe someone uses the same combination and has encountered a similar problem. The update came out the other day. "Version 9.34 intro…

Ok so I scrapped everything and started over; no more error message so must have been some bug. It looks like shortening the idle time works to resolve my initial issue. I'll play …

Oh, I am pretty sure that is going to make the traffic go through the Mac and back to the NAS. [URL]

Ahh Nevermind I solved it It's because of the navigators add ons and extensions that messed things up

Hi, I have one file called Default.rdp on my right side. It is not on the left side. Syncing via mirroring does not delete it. Bitwise compare does not show it. I put a random .rdp…

[URL] This is from 6 years ago and was fixed already. Who knows if it's the same issue that cropped up again or something unrelated that leads to the same error?

Hello ! I am encountering the same problem. Here is what the `ldd` command returns me : [Code] And now, here is what I have when running my .sh file that contains this : [Code] -->…

It seen that freefilesync does not copy NTFS alternate data stream on Folder. I use this fonction from directory opus to tag file and folder, and when i copy the tagged files and f…

Try that still the same Jack

I also need a WebDAV-connection. Why is that still not implemented? Does someone know a similar software with WebDAV-support?

[Quote] Thank you for all this information. I will try it out.

OK! I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists and installed FreeFileSync on the new computer over again. IT WORKED!! I have no idea what changed and what happened in the first place…

The only other option is to backup certain file types to disk 1, other certain file types to disk 2 and all remaining file types to disk 3. As an example: All Word, Excel and PDF f…

> In fact, it did not accept saving them on the external backup hard drive. As far as FFS is concerned, you are completely free to save sync configurations to, and run those from a…

Thanks for the feedback! For the smartphone, I wouldn't have thought of that solution... thanks for the info! Unfortunately for me, the synchro was only of interest if I could do i…

Are both laptops logged in to the same Onedive account, or are these two different users? Probably the same but need to ask. OneDrive can have the file stored on the PC and in the …

Correct, task scheduler. So, then you are saying I can just ignore that message unless I change a setting in the batch file that says not to stop syncing if errors happen.

Hi @xCSxXenon thanks. You're right. Was not as comfortable as expected, but after several runs over single folder and folder groups I found the differences and could copy thePost m…

Hello, We would like to know whether it is possible for the program to continue to run without reporting an error and ignore the error. However, it can still be seen in the log tha…

Great, thank you for your help. Now I understand :)

After investigating drive in Linux, it is dying, bunch of bad relocated sectors, errors reading some others, also was some permissions on some folders I think was causing issues as…

oooh that is interesting and would explain what I am experiencing However it would be really nice if that was a possibility: a mode to select ANY vs ALL I realize I could run multi…

VeraCrpyt has been known to cause that issue [URL]

[Quote] No. Compared to Google's size, neither an individual or a program-community our size is even a blip on the radar

Thank you Plerry - as you suggest one side of the sync is on cloud storage and that is where the previous versions of the *.ffs.db files are located.

If the folder-structure within the left and right base location you select is identical, you should be able to use FreeFileSync to Compare, and if necessary Sync between those two …
