FreeFileSync Forum

Thank you so much for the information. I can see a workaround now. What I really need to sync is the substance of my documents. The filepath is only needed so that if I print a doc…

This means, this is not a problem that FFS can fix, most likely a bug in the web dav implementation. The best FFS can do is to show a warning and continue (instead of the error and…

Can you post a screenshot of the full error message? Culprit is likely AV software.

This has been brought up before, the only option is to set a date/time range. It deviates too much from a sync to really fit natively

Is the shortcut target actually where it should be? What if you refresh the explorer window to refresh icons? I also sync shortcuts and it has no issues. What if you right-click th…

You said you have to manually start RTS again once you wake the laptop back up? As in, RTS is crashing at some point between the laptop going to sleep and waking up? If so, are the…

Great, thanks and keep on going! I never had a sync-app that worked as convincing as yours!!!

Awesome! Glad you got it working

Assuming the Windows Task Scheduler: In the Task Scheduler you can define a maximum amount of time that a task is allowed to run. If your one or both of your FFS syncs take longer …

As of last overnight it seemed OK; I will check it again tonight & will also be deleting the offending JPG files at source & destination locations. My goal in asking here is to hel…

Got it. Thank you.

FFS does not support Amazon Photos. Looks like there is an Amazon Cloud api, but I don't know if that is integrated with Amazon Photos

Change the locations of the sync? One side is the Google Drive and the other would be "C:\Users\XXXXXX\Documents\Workfolder\"

What if you reinstall FFS? I would guess the issue resides in the machine or OS though. It worked great, the OS updated, now it doesn't. Mac OS 11 is also new, so it may just be th…

Use the Update sync variant instead of the Mirror sync variant. A Mirror sync deletes right-side files if these files do not or no longer exist on the left-side. An Update sync lea…

Doesn't freefilesync use rsync? I don't it is using sftp.

Ignore, it's me being dumb !!

With 1~1.5TB of data and a daily limit of 750GB, your initial sync should take two sync sessions spread over two days. Simply re-run FFS the second day. It will conclude part of th…

The message is straight forward. Apparently you defined a RealTimeSync (RTS) task that includes monitoring one or more gdrive folders for changes. And, as the message states, gdriv…

Thanks for posting - glad this helped!

Ok thanks again. :-)

No, being a sync program, FreeFileSync (FFS) by default retains the folder structure of files. But perhaps you can use the manual action described [URL].

Apologies for the bump, but I realise this issue is essentially solved by syncing directly to and from Google Drive using said new feature. FreeFileSync being in charge means no du…

Yeah, RTS comes with FFS and is very useful! Running the batch file manually, from within FFS, clicking "synchronize" will run the compare then perform the operations. It sounds li…

Thanks for the idea, did just that and found that the "Date Modified" is different on many of the files even though they had just been copied. So FreeSync (great pgm) is off the ho…

[Quote] Perfect! So it seems we have a little Windows bug here: WNetGetConnection() incorrectly returns ERROR_CONNECTION_UNAVAIL (=> outdated buffer), while WNetAddConnection2() re…

A new Linux installer (and also an auto-updater for the Donation Edition) will be available with FreeFileSync 11.6.

Hi @therube thx for the input. The linked page is way over my head. I'm wondering if the problem one of two things: 1. My Mac. When you format a disk during a fresh install of macO…

So definitely not between two drives... Check the smart data of the drives. I would also try a test sync between a different standalone source drive and that same destination drive…

Enable permanent deletion, your NAS doesn't support recycle bin

Thank you,,,,,,,,,, just like to be sure,,,,,,,,thanks again

Pretty funny ... I downloaded and installed that product only a few weeks ago, so 1&1 doesn't seem to update their software regulary. The reason why I didn't see the connection bet…

That's an option. I don't have any other suggestions unfortunately, there must be something interfering with the process or it isn't set up correctly

After the restart I can start your program again! I think there was still a process running. Perhaps because of the message from the first start that I have to set the Preferences …

The status should be overwritten after the next sync (not just comparison)

FFS remembers last user-selected paths since version 11.2.

Here's some info: [URL] Basically, create a sync config in FFS, save as batch job, drag the batch job onto the RTS setup window and it will auto fill everything you need. You just …

Here's the current Linux beta version: [URL]

I wound up re-configuring the NAS and moved back to EXT4, and haven't seen the error since. So it must be something with BTRFS or how NAS is reporting BTRFS file system.

I have continued testing and I know what happens. The problem comes when the scheduled task that I have assigned to run FreeFileSync runs before the user has opened Outlook. What h…

In the RTS setup window, there is a section to specify monitored directories. Remove the remote location

RTS doesn't sync on a set schedule or period.

There was no email bounce for this address, so it was received (possibly in the spam folder).

Hoi therube, I found at least how to memorize deleted files. I will check your additional idea and thank you in advance. How was the choke: If you (means me) dont find your solutio…

Can confirm, that it works now. Also following (compare & sync) of a directory tree works well. Will make more tests tonight, but looks good so far :-) Update Jan 22nd: Found no fu…

may be a google drive limitation

I would appreciate this option between "depth" and "breadth" synching. I still haven't upgraded from version 9.9 and recommending not to do so to my colleagues because we all use "…

Thanks a lot, it was as you suggested. Now it works! Great!

The 'new' button just blanks out the locations and sets the default settings, like a template
