FreeFileSync Forum

had a few mins this am, and got it working - I had to select the 'Run minimized' and 'Auto-close' checkboxes for the Progress dialog, and the 'Ignore errors' checkbox, in the Save …

no kidding

Thanks, that worked. 15k files updated, rather than 68k.

The link given and quoted above no longer works. I just had 1,800 permission errors during a folder sync between a user folder on the C: drive and an external hard drive connected …

Ah ha! Thank you.

See if this relates to your situation - if size or time filters are set: [URL]

I have had the same problem. I wanted to copy my recently ripped music to a backup drive. The music is in the form of Artist (folder), Album (folder), Track (file). The new files w…

Anywhere you like, as long as it is accessible when RealTimeSync is launched.

Thanks for the suggestions. Checking the directory pairs is the first thing I did, and repeatedly. It's finding the right folders, but it seems to be misinterpreting something abou…

Hello, there are no sparse files or hard links on the source drive. The target disk is RAID1 - mirror (two same disks as the source disk), I understand that RAID has some overhead,…

Is there the possibility to sync files that have only updated in the last x hours? I see the option of the last x days, but I could really use the last x hours. My use case: Left S…

This apply, [URL] ?

It seems you installed the standard FFS version, not the donation version. You can check this, by in the FFS GUI clicking Help / About. If you have the donation version installed, …

Most cloud storage providers give you the option to either keep your files only in the cloud or to replicate them down to your local hard drive so you have a local copy all the tim…

I have no idea where that is forget it

Both errors will be gone in the next version: [URL]

If that's the case, donation users should be warned or prevented somehow from installing their updates without internet so they don't get "trapped" like this. Or simply be able to …

LOL. Of course there had to be a way to do that already! Thank you both for the response and such a useful product!

- Find the email you were sent, that contains the link. - Check browser history/bookmarks if they were synced to the cloud - Install an old version that you saved and then just aut…

Saves As - Saves configuration as a .ffs_gui file. When ran directly, it will open the FFS window Save as batch job - Saves configuration as a .ffs_batch file. When ran, it runs in…

It must be Freefilesync which changes the timestamp. When I copy manually a file from a folder to the mapped drive, it retains the date of last change, which is the criteria upon w…

[Quote] Yes! An important note. The OP should be able to exclude the folder to avoid it being scanned

Well to be fair, they should look correct if you are able to move them.

I have FFS running on both 10 and 11. I use the same external ssd drive to backup/sync both types of PC's and thus far encountered no file system or OS errors or incompatibilities.…

Thanks, Zenju!

Very helpful, thank you!

If you're married to FFS, you can run a post-sync command that erases the source. Choose update/mirror based on what you want

[Quote] Thanks but copy with for /r has no possibility that actual file is save, means no parameters to act date options. Of curse its not a classic sync but shore not a big thin i…

Brilliant thank you for that, i was pulling my hair out , have a great day

ok, thank you. I will try that.

So I was getting this error also Mac connecting to a NAS over SMB... Connecting over AFP made it go away...also compare running way faster...also some weird file name errors went a…

Weird and weirder... WIN11 just updated and now things work better. I both get a log file and files do get copied. Go figure... Running everything as admin and had to elevate drive…

From your earlier post: > B is not deleted from the target drive as I expected It is quite a "peculiar" expectation that "target"-side data that is not, or no longer part of the sy…

Different in that subdirectories are maintained, [URL]. That said, using [URL], it's easy enough to find file/dir of interest. Then simply highlight all & paste elsewhere (like a s…

Really? The error message seems to suggest that FFS has successfully connected with the NAS as an anonymous user.

FREEDOM! it worked! it's gone! thank you so much. I had forgotten that there were two levels to 'hidden' essentially. thank you!!

Run chkdsk on all the drives, including your OS drive

oh.. I hit 'reset layout' and it came back... solved?

[Quote] Did they specify WHAT was tagged on? If so, then software like "File Analyzer" should be able to pick up on it (my guess).

agree..

Hi. I want to use the function that the FFS_batch runs every time the external HD is connected. I have found that for me the instructions are not really clear. I could run the acti…

TLS is only the encryption between the servers. Still, each server can read the mail in full. There are variants of email with E2E encryption, but they require asymmetric encryptio…

Not surprising. About a year ago, I transitioned to using a USB SSD and will never go back. I daily drive the SanDisk Extreme PRO, it is the fastest there is in this size. SSK also…

Gotcha. The only thing I can think of is Task Scheduler. Unless you have another program on your computer that can run scheduled tasks. Deleting the entry in Task Scheduler probabl…

That was fixed, supposedly, by using the current file format though. The OP posted a picture with a docx, which is the current version. They never answered what Office versions wer…

Could be that the device is simply not that fast at de/encrypting. Or, the program isn't designed for ARM yet, and has to run in the translation layer, losing performance
