FreeFileSync Forum

Well, good guess, "I don't know what I'm doing." I've been using it for quite awhile. Not all the time but when frustration gets to a peak. I don't know why when I own the device, …

xCSxXenon: yes I do run as a batch but somehow I missed the "run minimized" ... I'll have to investigate and see how to do that now. Thanks!!!

Maybe: [URL]

The fact that the error wasn't logged, but shown to the forum user instead (with a plea to contact the admin, which most users won't do anyway). Although this is phpBB default beha…

> How can I run 2 sync at a time From/in the FFS GUI: select multiple saved configurations in the top-left Sync Configurations window. This will result in a single FFS instance for…

DISCLAIMER: It's been over two years since I set up my current collection of FFS batch files, so my recollection may be a little rusty. If my idea is off the mark, that's the reaso…

After deleting a file from A and then that also being deleted from Google, run just a compare on B and share the compare window.

Thank you for the answer. Today the date is displayed correctly. Why I do not know. Maybe it's because of synchronisations between different computers. Many greetings Roland

Didn't work. Although the progress chart flashed at the end. Do you think a reinstall would help?

Have you tried installing it? That will probably answer all your questions

The hover and delete doesn't work on mine, Vn 11.18 (Donation) running on Linux Mint. Would be nice if it did. I'll look into editing the config file. Other than that, the program …

Ah, thank you! I will try that. Just so that I understand correctly, during upload FFS first copies the file to the temp file, when transfer is completed correctly it will delete e…

Thanks for the reply. Yes, as I said, I've done that by adding a designated phrase to the filenames, such as "not4Car" & putting that in the FFS filter designation, but it is time …

I'm getting problems copying files lately that I didn't seem to have before. A long list of files that don't appear to have anything in common are not being copied with the above m…

The smallest issues plague the highly skilled! We all do the same thing, just glad it works!

When I try the link, all I get is the XML file for the access. I love the package and use it to update the thumb drives that are the way our organization distributes our specific t…

Yes that's it. It was the recycle bin in the drive. Problem solved. Thanks.

Pierry, thank you for the explanation and suggestion, I'll give it a try! Appreciate all the assistance you and xCSxXenon are providing the community!

Understood, I am investigating, but apart from this the system is showing no other symptoms.

I used CrystalDiskInfo to check the health of my external HDD and no issue being flagged out.

[Quote] Thats perfect, thank you for taking the time to let me know, cheers Dan

I love algorithm analysis, it's my bread & butter lol! Glad to see the change!

Yup, most 3rd party antivirus programs are complete junk. You should just remove it and stick with Microsoft security.

Did you found any solution ? Thank you

Where are you seeing this message and what version of FFS are you using?

Hi!! Windows defender started to detect one of the files from 11.13 & 11.18 version as a potential risk app. I had attached the message from this app Is there any problem on it? Th…

Deleted & reinstalled. That did it! Thanks for your help.

I would say: Click - no confirmation hotkey - ask for confirmation

Thank you! I have set the access timeout to 30s and works fine now.

Thanks! It didn't occur to me to change the batch script "under the covers" after it had already been specified as part of the job. Makes total sense as a better workaround. But ..…

You can select network location in FFS, You should look up how to set up network shares and then jump here to work with FFS

Am a newbie.. I synched my photos folder from one external drive to another external drive. When I do a "tag search" in the target external drive none of the tagged photos appear (…

I run multiple RTS configs fine You can run multiple sync configs at the same time, manually or with Task Scheduler Read the documentation

I used the search function in the forum, I didn't realize there was a specific topic in the manual My apologizes!! Thanks a lot for your time, very helpful Have a nice time

You will probably not be successful in relocating sectors. You can look into 'ddrescue' if you are serious and there really isn't important data on it anyway. Drive quality is not …

Can you browse to the network shares in File explorer? It's the exact same syntax that FFS uses so either both work or neither work. Mapping the share can help as well.

Maybe a trace ([URL]) could shed some light. Could be some third-party app (like AV) that is injecting itself into the copy routine while corrupting the real error code.

This is becoming a bit of a case of: You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't force it to drink ...

Now i see, the link in the E-Mail had to be pushed again. That leads to the website where the download for all OS can be started again and contains the right installer and .key fil…

The separate program is a cloud uploader. I keep A as my local backup, and use B as my temp folder. Since all files in B get processed then deleted, unfortunately the Exclude filte…

Run a chkdsk on that drive then. Especially if you had a power loss, chkdsk is a good idea
