No, the link stays valid for the duration of your donation period. Click the link in your email, and the download section is at the bottom. I use uBlock Origin without issue, but m…

Sorry, my bad. I am using Two-Way not Mirror.

xCSxXenon's reply applies when you use RTS to launch FFS. However, if your automatic backup is a scheduled launch of FFS, you need to delete or suspend that task in the Windows Tas…

Thanks! It works!

I have no idea why, and this is maddening and bizarre, but today, after a restart, it works. Completely insane. Thanks for your reply, and I'll screenshot it if it happens again. C…

[Quote] I will try it, thank you!

You have so many bottlenecks here. WLAN is slow, most Androids don't use a newer UFS storage style, and are also really slow, and HDDs are also very slow when syncing many small fi…

Yeah, if the NAS isn't even showing up in file explorer, FFS can't see it either.

Yeah, I wish it worked like that, but it doesn't. You would have to run two independent syncs, and disable the 'lock' files that FFS creates. You can then have a batch script that …

Ugh. User error. The access denied was referencing a LOCAL hidden folder. I simply had to create a filter entry to omit this folder that I don't want to sync anyway and that solved…

yes, 202 is suffice i use that command for other program...but in this case yes, not need sort uniq no, latest FFS not use date stamped: ./freefilesyncupdate.sh download/FreeFileSy…

Perfect, fixed for the next release!

(FFS does not ignore hidden (or system...) files - that I am aware of.)

The fact that it worked for me, combined with the lack of support here would suggest that it may be a problem your end. When you try and connect do you see anything in /var/log/aut…

It's all going well now, thank you

Your replay has the information more than i expected. i hope it will work for sure. i need to exclude every folder named ".recycle" so, i will use *\.recycle\ Thank you very much!!

And, straight from the horses mouth, see [URL]. So, your single sync.ffs_db file in A contains relevant info on all three syncs (A=>B, A=>C and A=>D). Your use case should not give…

The files you seem worried about are *.ffs_db files. If you are sure you want to get rid of those, seach for *.ffs_db files and delete these.

When I download a zip file that meets these conditions from Google Drive, I get a timeout. 1. File size is less than 100MB. 2. The file size after decompression is 100MB or more. 3…

OK, I seem to have resolved this - seems to have been due to over-zealous Gatekeeper protection in macos Catalina. The solution - as described on a number websites - was to tempora…

Hello, I have issue on linux when I try to move some files from PC to Android. I use mtp mount via gvfs as: /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=Xiaomi_SDM636-MTP__SN%3ABC49BBF9_cfc09085/I…

What are you talking about? I´m not using/doing anything else since Windows 98. Computers hiding those are freaking me out.

[Quote] Thanks a lot. It works

@therube...thanks for the suggestion. Worked like a charm. Cheers.

Define multiple left-right folder pairs, and use the gear and funnel icons in between each folder pair. Then checkmark to use local settings (mid-top) and define the local sync and…

I haven't tested with the very latest release, but ... If you define an FFS sync between D:\Test (left) and Z:\Test (right), and D:\Test and Z:\ exist, but Z:\Test does not (yet) e…

A more complete explanation of your issues would be nice. Anyhow, [URL].

@Technician_P : Also looking at your other posting, I get the impression you may not fully understand how things are organized. RealTimeSync (RTS) is a tool that monitors specified…

Hello Zenju, i have a problem with starting RealTimeSync in this way by the task scheduler. I've done the setting in the task scheduler like in the manual, i also can see the execu…

Will I receive source of donation version if I donate? This is important to me, because I want to run it on 2 windows machine and 1 raspberry pi 4b. And there seems be no correspon…

Hi, I try to sync my fotos from the iPhone to my computer (win10). The iPhone is connected via usb and can be accessde via explorer. In Free File Sync the comparison runs as design…

At your suggestion, I examined that page. I had already tried the technique there using wildcards only for the filename. But I tried slightly differently, as shown on that page- it…

It depends on the Delete Files method you selected in your FFS Synchronization Settings (F8). If you selected Recycle Bin or Versioning, then look in the relevant location(s). If y…

[Quote] Thanks Sir "! Never tough of that !! Alain

Alternatively, if all three folders reside in the same parent folder, you may sync the parent folder and define the three folders to be synced in the [URL].

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, you have to be careful with the current setup, because if you select all, you are selecting the folder, thus all data in it. I wonder if it's a good idea to pop up a window t…

OK, thanks for the info.

A scheduled stop of the sync task is not built into FFS, so you would need to do that by other means. But instead, you may try setting the [URL] flag to True. This will allow FFS t…

Thank you both so much for your support! It appears all is working now. Just had to shorten the destination file length.

Is there a functional reason why we can't set the tolerance on a per sync pair/job basis? I would find it useful to say: [Quote] Otherwise things like log files will keep thrashing…

Good morning @PIerry and thank you. Sorry if I didn't read your answer right away but I went on vacation for a week and on my return I had the usual commitments of returning. I onl…

I think I've solved my own problem... I leave this for anyone who might stumble across this looking for a solution. What I didn't realise about FreeFileSync, is that instead of thi…

Hi there Running FreeFileSync V10.65 64bits on Win 10 I have one single sync job which syncs one directory tree to a USB drive After starting the sync, files are copied and the job…

[Quote] Unfortunately, they are kind of hard-coded into the application that writes to them so in this case I really didn't have a choice and have the program work as designed... b…

Yup - that was the problem. It's funny how you can keep staring at something and you just never see it. All it takes is a fresh pair of eyes and the problem and its solution become…

Thank so much for your fast answer.

Ouch! One slash did the trick. Thanks. I didn't know about the drop-down. Thanks again. Great piece of work. How does donate work? -- If I donate I get the CURRENT donate version, …

Hi, I'm using FFS to create monthly FTP backups. I need to save them into zip or rar archives, and haven't find any way to automate it. I tried to rename the path using ***_%date%.…

Thank you for your help, this looks like a solution that could work.
