FreeFileSync Forum

Thank you - and it's a good thing that FFS is designed to handle concurrency! I also see now how I can disable it with Expert Settings, but I probably wouldn't want to do that. I'm…

I've had the same issue, but I observed that it's related to file that are not in the PC; in my case the extensions are *.gdoc and *.gsheet, but they are only link (file dimension …

Maybe your initial auto-run session got stuck or crashed somehow? It's anyone's guess and is unlikely to be a recurring issue

The universal recommendation is to always run the latest version of anything to avoid bugs

I ran into this issue where apparently every time I sync my computer files to a shared folder in dropbox, it's shared feature disappears. I then proceed to re-share and a new folde…

xCSxXenon: Yes, Windows 10, with latest updates. therube: Not sure what mountvol means. This mounted Volume was created during volume creation in Disk Management. Zenju: I followed…

You are correct about what a batch config is. Whether or not you use ffs_gui or ffs_batch, you can click the plus next to the source location to add multiple pairs to sync multiple…

Thanks for the tip. I've now run a couple of tests involving a set of 3650 photos (ranging from 1M mobile phone pics to 25M RAW files), all in all about 12 GB, and copied it around…

Thanks @bgstack15! I have imported all of your patches, made some minor adjustments, et voila! You are totally right, c++2b is also available. I don't know what happened... Once ag…

I've been looking for a way to sync my Google Drive native docs, and I'd love to keep all of my syncs within FreeFileSync if possible. Google made this a bit complicated, but it's …

Issue was only with files i had shot on very old mobile, there is no problem with other files. Issue resolved

Hello Pierry. I think this could managed like exceptions. We could have a similar configuration to generate zips. We type a folder name or a file path and matches would generate in…

You can try Recuva or other recovery software. Best bet it to take it to a professional. Also, get a more robust backup solution

Without that protection, FFS will delete the target file before writing the new file. if interrupted, you now have no copy on the target. You still have the copy on the source thou…

Excellent, RealTimeSync now works error-free with the new 11.20 version. Thank you!

I just checked. I can create those folders without error. But you got me on the right track. I just tried copying the files manually, and I got the same error. So it has nothing to…

It's been a while, but ... I believe FFS will always retain the last previous version of a file in its versioning location, and (given your settings) will only delete any earlier p…

[Quote] You know, this might be the reason. I had been having my clock automatically changing itself to adjust for daylight savings and I keep fixing it but changes itself. Both my…

Hello, please excuse my bad english, I am from Germany. I use FreeFilySync for several month, and I am very satisfied with this software. Now I found out, that it will be possible …

Thanks, perfect now. Occurred on Catalina 10.15.7. I have the most current Big Sur & Monterey, did not test. Zenju are you using an Intel, M1 or virtual?

I am using version 11.19 and it shows CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT when connecting to googledrive. failed to connect to oauth2.googleapis.com port 443 after 75004 milliseconds. Operati…

"My Computers" can be synced with FreeFileSync 11.19! [URL]

Well, actually I hide online games from my parents. And these logs can reveal that. Of course if I forgot to delete the logs manually.

Ohh. Okok. That will work.

The Help says it does so when you import an ffs_batch file via Menu → File → Open or simply via drag and drop. If you manually configure RTS, you need to define not just the folder…

It seems you are using the Update sync variant, not the Mirror sync variant. The Update sync variant leaves files that exist in the destination location intact, if they do not (or …

Watch for group policy from central IT might push down and overwrite whatever changes you make on the next update cycle. For us they disable Remote-to-local links (which does make …

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

Change from custom to mirror

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…

[Quote] Thank you for your reply. As i said it's marked since 1 week...

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.
