I have recently accomplished a fresh build of Ubuntu Mate 24.04 on two different machines and installed FFS on both. The issue I have with both builds is that there are a few subdi…

I solved the problem by first doing a hand transfer and then running a mirror copy for verification. That, it went well and lasted 45mn. Obviously freefilesync has some difficultie…

I've found the easiest way to eliminate these issues (with the GDrive docs and sheets) is to add an "extension" to the files name (upon creation, or rename it via browser/myDrive, …

I have been trying to install FreeStyleSync on my Kali VM, I download the tar.gz file from the site, extract it, then double click on the .run file but nothing happens. There are n…

Awesome! Thanks. I've been using FFS for a couple of years now and clearly have not dug into all of its capabilities. I still don't understand why the real-time file count displaye…

My question was more along the lines of whether FFS might have such a feature (perhaps hidden from me until now). I had already discovered that Robocopy or similar software could h…

Thanks! I did these amendments and added an 'automatic retry' with 'count' at 2 and several seconds of 'delay' between the two. It works now! Much appreciated

(Also noted here, [URL]. And your picture link doesn't look to be valid. You can upload it here, directly.)

é shouldn't be an issue (to FFS). So maybe it is something the way that [URL] is presenting that particular (or similar ?) characters (which you wouldn't really expect to be an iss…

The progress display window opens and it flashes momentarily. The progress window is then displayed as just a white block with some of the text at the bottom, but no X-Y progress %…

[Quote] Thank you! At least I can confirm it's still the same presumably code-gen bug, even with the latest VC compiler (two updates since the initial crash report). Alas no update…

Thank you!

It seems that renaming a file in Windows actually results in two actions reported by the Windows API that RTS monitors. It's likely that it reports a new file with the new name and…

Screenshot? Which version, OS, and language?

Thank you!

Thanks. Don't you face that issue? Which versions of glib and libidn2 are you building with? If I remove both #undef G_GNUC_UNUSED, then everything builds fine (libidn 2.3.8 and gl…

Hi everyone :) Thank you in advance for your help. I am using FreeFileSync for the first time in order to create a backup of my entire Dropbox folder to an external hard drive. I a…

Hmm, here are the features: auto-updater parallel file copy email notifications zip portable zip So, to your point, a few nice little things.

If you never want to delete files from your destination location that do not, or no longer exist on your source location use, as xCxXenon describes, use the Update sync variant. If…

If you find this to be a common occurrence with software, you're the problem

Thank you! Just now saw this.

My university requires a two-factor authentication method. Would anyone know how to create an input method for this? [Code] Thank you for any help!

Just as i have posted this i tried to sync same files again (some already synced in a few previous tries, so not exact same set) and it maintained 40-50 MBs in 2 threads. It is lik…

Never mind...won't need this.

What program are you using as ssh server?

that is correct, i had unknowningly change the sync options, they should have stayed at just mirror (L) and use db (L). Thanks!

This has worked all fine earlier but now suddenly there is a 2 min delay before writing the first file to my phone using mtp (reading is ok). After the first file is written all wr…

Good morning John1234 and Plerry, the error was that the batch file was under the users directory. Now I have moved this file to another location, created a new shortcut and it is …

If you specify a not yet existing folder as your left or right base location, FreeFileSync (FFS) will ask you if it should create that folder for you. If you confirm, FFS will crea…
