Or manually rename the files in one of the ends.

While syncing between two network shares in a "two way" sync from a Linux Mint 22.3 box, I have file in the LM Trash that will not delete, and never go's away.

That's the point at which it fails to work. I've tried monitoring the mirror directory and making a change in one of the monitored folders but nothing happens until I manually run …

Is that not an icon that OneDrive uses to display that the item is in the cloud but is not yet locally downloaded?

You can also click the cloud icon in FFS and try accessing via FTP/FTPS

It doesn't support ftp either. Plus the google drive option in ffs is greyed out and when I hover over it, it says 'disabled' and refers me to a Readme document in the ffs folder. …

Obviously, you must make sure your you have selected your left and right base location(s) such that your *.pst file is in one of those locations. Mind that, as long as Outlook is o…

Here is how it looks out of the box: [Attachment] You need to delete the "%f" and at that exact location insert the location of the "ffs_batch" file: [Attachment] That's it and wor…

There is not

resolved, thank you. I had turned off the shortcuts that are placed on the desktop during the installation process - which I don't really care for - and this prevented me from seei…

Thanks I am not quite sure how to take "switched to". I just downloaded the zip and a grep on the runner does not quite reflect the switch. Maybe that is just my very limited knowl…

Screenshots would help: The result of FreeFileSync comparison with rar files missing and Windows Explorer showing the same files as existing.

If you have the Donation version installed, if you go to Help / Check for updates now a "Check for updates now" window pops up which, if you do not have the latest FFS version inst…

NTFS Thank you for reaching out. I am unclear just what was wrong, but I have found a partial remedy. I uninstalled FFS completely and removed all the batch files. I downloaded the…

Considering the I/O error message, I would start with the OpenDrive<->rclone connection

[Quote] I manually did this: Folder A, B, C -> copy into cloud -> Folder A, B, C Now, the two screenshots you see: Folder A, B, C local copy Folder A, B, C cloud copy How are they …

Performance likely won't be any different anyway

Correction: I just used the application on Windows and now it too has the OOM issue! Please fix this :'(

Hi all. I usually work with FreeFileSync 14.09, Donation Edition, under Debian 13. Today I cannot log to Internet and received a message asking for an activation key. I get the cor…

UPDATE: SOLVED I tried to reinstall v14.9 first and then v14.7 but I was having the same issue. Then I reinstalled v14.10 and first of all deleted the google drive account saved in…

Very few information on what the problem is, maybe. I am thinking along error messages...

I have a hunch that the folder was not really renamed at the file system level, but only at the Windows shell level. In other words, you have a desktop.ini file that contains the d…

Read the [URL] description. When the LockDirectoriesDuringSync flag is set to "true" (the default value), you must have write access to both the left and right base location. By th…

Hai Plerry, Thanks for your response. It worked. Really appreciate your response

When in doubt, run (just) a Compare, review the proposed sync actions, and only if those proposed sync actions match your intended sync actions click Synchronize.

It's really easy. My problem was: how do I exclude the rest? Thank you very much!

Hi Zenju, I have installed the beta version, the error message has changed to a warning and completed successfully: Cannot write modification time of "sftp://[REDACTED].xml.zip". S…

Getting the attached error when syncing to my NAS. Any way to acknowledge/ignore this error automagically? Thanks Found the setting... new user... thanks.

Hi, There is no super easy way to do a synchronization without looking at the files. You just want to make sure the app you're using does so efficiently and I don't have any idea h…

Cool. Glad to assist. I do a lot of networking tech.

Hello, First of all, thank you for developing FreeFileSync. I use the NVDA screen reader on Windows and would like to report several accessibility issues. While testing with **NVDA…

Your installation's resource files are corrupted, please reinstall. The unhelpful error message will be fixed in the next release.

Yes, that worked, thanks!

I changed drives so I changed the drive letters in the sync settings, saved it, then saved to a batch file, then drug and dropped the batch file into RealTimeSync, the drive letter…

Thanks

Hello Plerry, please excuse my delayed response! Thank you so much for the excellent explanation. I think I'll try writing a batch file so that the Firefox bookmarks synchronize wh…

Please disregard this June 13, 2026 post. I was unaware that my word processing program was open on one of the pcs when I attempted to sync the pcs. Once I closed the program, the …

Plerry, your response pointed me in the right direction, and I'm now all good. Thank you.

[Quote] FWIW, that's what those scripts in the linked thread do for you

FFS is warning you because you are using a database to track changes. This adds the ability to detect this conflict, which is good, because then FFS would sync those files every si…

In trying to resolve this I have found a a problem on my PC set up which is causing this (duplicate files being created). I'll stop this. Thanks for the input and help.

How are you figuring out that FFS is deleting/copying instead of moving?

How can I get the second one activated?? thanks

[Quote] What did not work? The second task again or the reproduction? [Quote] Exceptions? [Quote] I guess it's something else...
