FYI, My 47,000 files were in fact properly backed up using FFS so I was able to recover! :-)

I would like to make an update. I figured out the reason of this problem. It is lack of standards between operating systems regarding file name encoding. This folder was synced bet…

The Beta version posted in the forum post you provided is working for me. I've added additional comments to that post.

Great news! Thanks for the update @Zenju.

Thanks for your comment, Markusoft ... I think my initial confusion stemmed from not appreciating (understanding) the difference between a "backup" and "file synching". What you wr…

I noticed that when there are problems, FFS changes the name of the logfile. I see some logfiles containing [Waarschuwing] (dutch for Warning) or [Fout] (dutch for Error). So I cou…

Hii, Since ver 10.1 - the install of FreeFileSync has been in conflict with "Kaspersky Internet Security", on all my windows-machines (both windows 64 and 32). "Cannot run file" is…

Generally you should be good, as long as you keep the number of "many portable devices" rather down, since the Donation Edition is expected to be used by a single user: [URL]

My sincerest thanks Mx Plerry ... it now works.

Hey guys, I've decided to try out this software in an effort to routinely check the file integrity between 2 folder locations. I KNOW for a fact that the files in each location are…

Clicking the menu bar or pressing the ALT-key temporarily freezes the comparison; same issue during synchronization. This seems to be a Windows bug: The above actions ordinarily sh…

Exact same problem as "sometimes" noted on 6/16/18. Couldn't type into activation box - nothing happened when I tried. Sought help, no helpful reply. Tried re-installing, etc. Fina…

I've had major problems syncing recently and I wasn't sure if it was the problem of my flash drive or if I had the wrong setting in FreefileSync, so I am going to try starting over…

When FreeFilSync finds a new directory, which doesn't exist at the receiving side, FFS is editing the directory with the date & time of the synchronization. What should I do, to re…

Maze, I think you might be missing something here. When you say "...but when I go sync again it proposes..." Seems to me, when you mention "proposes", that you mean are not taking …

Thank you but I"m tech illiterate enough not to understand why I wouldn't have access to the drives or files within the drives (since I own/created them) and as a result don't know…

Hi all, the documentation of the %logfile_path% macro should be published with 10.3 where it's implemented. Actually I don't know if this could be used for the freefilesync.vbs scr…
