FreeFileSync Forum

Thank you.....it is working. Very happy.

A-ha. I just redid it with junction points and it’s working. Thank you!

[Quote] You're right man, thanks. I was in a rush when I read the instructions, I'll try it later.

The Mint version shows the window above. I took an online tar.gz version and everything runs now.

[Quote] Thanks for the info, sorry for the double post: days after my first question I forgot I already asked. I confirm that I have never started multiple instances of FFS running…

There is an easy way. On the left side, select the source local folder you want to sync to Google. On the right side, select the little cloud icon. This will bring up the window wh…

Yes I know it should work as per manual as that is what I followed originaly and it worked happily for many months. Only recently has it stopped working but I did not notice it had…

Sure, you just create a separate connection profile for each account, with the appropriate credentials.

Duh! Buried in the list of exclusions was this one ... *\*.fit Thank you!

Well a user may want to change that setting depending on which sync config they are using, so keeping in the config settings makes sense

OK, Problem solved. I decided to do a clean install of Ubuntu, which does not support flatpak, or have FreeFileSync in its software repository. I downloaded the installer from here…

Wired on gigabit ethernet.

si sera muy bueno

Run a compare, right-click the offending item, click exclude

It's a program that you download, it tells you where your space is being used

I just downloaded it several times but it never worked. But now it worked. seems that it was indeed a temporary glitch. Thanks

Thanks!

> So to be sure I understand. ... That's right ? Yep! But be aware: this not just applies if you use RTS to run an FFS sync; the same holds if you use RTS to launch e.g. a Python s…

I am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I want to sync my files on a windows server in local area network. But there is no option to access that server in FFS through smb share. Dolphin…

Your post is a bit confusing, because you write RealTimeSync (RTS), where the pictures and problems you describe concern FreeFileSync (FFS). A FFS TwoWay sync does exactly what you…

I didn't know that! I thought that it was only eligible for upgrades within the major version of the one donated for!! I just downloaded the donation version 12.1, and it works!! T…

[Quote] That's weird. If it keeps happening, it sounds like something related to file locks, like the OS/FFS is holding a file and that's why it can't get deleted.

Okay, so from the very limited screenshot, I can see that FFS says it wants to update the files on the server. I am guessing the timestamps on the files didn't transfer when you ma…

Does it work if you try again? Does every other file copy correctly? Have you restarted the computer? If using an external, have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? Ha…

I tried looking at the pkg files. It's not at all clear how to use the files independently.

[Quote] This can work. It lacks a "restore" option and dumps everything in one large folder so it could be hard to know where a restored version needs to go

For other people who encounter this thread in the future when searching via search engines (like I did): You can also re-save the FreeFileSync file as a batch job, and when you res…

[Quote] Thanks, I’ll look into that.

[Quote] Aren't "offline flies" and "files with an actual copy available on the local HDD" the same?

Ok the later in my last post worked like a charm, thanks again.

Hello daviank, Thanks for the quick answer and link to the other thread! I was aware of that one, but not sure it was the same, (as it's technically not a freeze, but the expected …

Copying fresh on a M1-based Macbook Pro running Ventura to an SMB share new files, I am getting a ton of errors like these [Code]

I found a solution I want to share with you guys I can now build 12.1 successfully and it works just fine In order for this to work, I needed to enable 32 bit and multilib support …

Many thanks! @Zenju

Thanks all for the quick replies. All sorted now. It's a new product for me & hence I have a 'few things' I need to learn.

Always use the source website! [URL]

That's what the "compare by file size" comparison variant is for.

Ah, now I understand! Thank you. I saved the Firefox profile folder to another folder on the SD card and the problem is gone. Love that program, it's so good. I used SimplySync bef…

@Zenju: I just downloaded the 12.2 beta version for macOS and it is working perfectly. Thank you very much for your help and time, I really appreciate it!

Black is the color for the top level folders of a folder pair. Therefore they only occur when you're using multiple folder pairs.

Thank you. I will try that.

Hi I'm backing up files from a Windows 10 PC to a Synology NAS. I'm receiving the following errors: [Code] During the above backup 131 files were successful and 9 had the above err…

[Code] @zenju please check I'm receiving this since today, version 12.1 I excluded sync.ffs_db from the filter and it worked, I then went on to my google drive and deleted all thes…

Plerry, THANK YOU! I removed the Google Drive folder from the pair that was being monitored. The changes don't need to be a two-way sync, so this works in this case. Changes to the…

Create a shortcut to the .ffs_real file/config, and then change the properties of the shortcut to run as admin, then put that shortcut into the startup folder. You will get a UAC p…

[Attachment] You can open as many RTS sessions as you want, here I have four running. Just run RTS, create the config, save it, open another RTS, config that one, save it, etc

Thank you very much!

I think I have resolved this issue now. When I run the .ffs_batch file from the place where I saved it in Explorer, it works perfectly. I was also able to schedule it to run using …

[Quote] It's hard to understand because your original post conveys that the two versions of the files are in different locations, not that you changed a line of text in the file th…
