FreeFileSync Forum

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…

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…

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…

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 …

No

You were sent a unique link to your donation edition download page, you have to use that

Thanks, it will save times each 6 months ;-) Resolved

Batch files don't meet my current requirement, which is to see the files (and times) on both sides before initiating a transfer. Once the process started, I no longer need to see i…

With the help of cronjobs, I zip my files on the website and store them on my webhosting. Then I synchronise these files to google drive via freefilesync with the help of ftp conne…

To be honest, the need to keep that timestamp intact is incredibly rare. The positives that come with these features severely outweigh the consequences for 99.99% of users and uses…

1) Nothing special. Use the same FFS configuration setup and the same locations, should be fine. 2) No, FFS doesn't include any 'duplication detection' features 3) Versioning is pe…

I bought a Toshiba Canvio Basics external hard drive and it works. I wish I knew why my Dell Optiplexes won't read or write USB thumb drives.

I’ve been using two ways sync for a year and never had a problem. A couple of days ago something wrong happened and I lost main subdirectories of two important directories on both …

FAT32 kind of sucks and does have some timestamp limitations. If you run a compare in FFS, check what the timestamps are of the files in Google Drive, they may be outside the range…

Haven't seen it or heard of it. Try uninstalling the current version and rebooting

For clarity, FreeFileSync (FFS) sync configurations files have either a .ffs_gui or a .ffs_batch extension, never a plain .batch extension. There are two ways to save FFS sync conf…
