This happens even on files that are not open at the moment of synchronization (even files I never opened at all). I'm using the following Global Settings: [Code] And the following …

Thank you!

Hello Zenju, the error only occurs when I tick the box "Independent of user login" on the "General" page and then "Do not save password". Depending on this, the task scheduler will…

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…

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…

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…

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…

No

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

#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 …

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…

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…

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…

Hello community, Thank you very much for your help. I didn't find anything about my problem here in the forum, so I ask you: I want to synchronize a MacBook with a MacMini. When I …

Why is there an empty space in the file path?? [Attachment]

What OS & version?

Maybe UAC is turned off & that is somehow affecting things? What OS (& version at that) are we talking about?

The entries are "correct" in the sense that they are used by some device manufacturers.

[Quote] A FreeFileSync "bug" that's unrelated to the speed issues: Actually it's just overzealous error reporting due to a second failed cleanup attempt. TODO.

Hello! Thanks for replying! Sorry for not being clear. The file paths are on the screenshots. The hard disk is left and the destination drives are the two on the right. When I comp…

I take it your sync is ongoing, yet can't go further, at this point, cause there is no space left for it to continue? So like in floppy days, you want the backup to pause, prompt y…

Zenju, thank you for posting the image. I tried to figure that out but the image button only inserts the html code for the link. So I uploaded it to my onedrive just so I had a lin…

I've manually marked the device as deleted once more. Remove and do *not* use FreeFileSync 13.6 on your old device anymore. You may now install on the new device.

Done.

The underlying OS's file system should not matter, so long as you can communicate between the various systems. So if you can set up a share between Mac & Windows, FFS should be abl…

Hi, In the 13.7 version, I get only the dark mode and prefer the lighter mode. I am unsure if it is a problem with my desktop setup, but all the other apps, such as Dolphin (KDE) a…
