Next time this happens, please post the exact error message you're seeing in the terminal. The FreeFileSync launcher could parse this and give a more helpful error message instead,…

I decided to use the flatpak installation. That works. Thanks

[Quote] The filter solution worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

lol, not the same at all, but whatever. You're allowed to be wrong I guess

If the default filter entries do not already exclude your recycle bin, then run a Compare in FFS, right-click on the RecycleBin, and select to exclude.

Thanks! *Solved*

How can it know what to sync without comparing the locations? You can just click "synchronize" and it will do it all in one click, if that's what your problem is with

That should remove that directory... Just filter it out in FFS settings, it's in the default exclusions for a reason

Glad it's fixed, and it was something simple!

I installed it with the .run file from the donate download. It works, but now I have two freefilesync. One from the packagemanager and the new installed donation version... It work…

Run a compare, right-click the directory you want to exclude, go to to "exclude" and select an option

[Quote] you were right. I disabled it and I am good to go. appreciate.

OK, I could solve the problem that the ffs_batch didn't run... When I said "run" nothing happend because I had to datermine FreeFileSync to be the program to run it in... But RealT…

In line with the [URL], you could add *- Copy* to your Exclude Filter. This will exclude all files and folders (and their content!) that have "- Copy" in their name.

Oh yes! ;) Works!

a) The *.ffs_df files are binary files created by, and understood (only) by FFS. The file-structure is not officially documented or supported for use by anything other than FFS. Ho…

Well I upgraded from 10.24 to 11.28 and no hitch of any kind concerning my existing *.ffs_gui files. Just thought I'd confirm here, the information might help someone else sometime…

Thanks xCSxXenon

It should just be opening a browser window. Have you tried restarting the computer?

Since FFS is deleting and uploading the new copy, you can't keep Google Drive revision history

And select "mirror". You probably don't want "two way".
