Data doesn't stay in cache for hours or minutes even (apart from when dealing with a huge datatransfer onto an already well filled SMR drives which will shuffle data around for som…

It shouldn't be copying the entire folder every time. It will scan the entire folder, but shouldn't be copying. Performance issues for a hard drive directly connected are going to …

First of all, we need a clean interface for (already detected) moved files. [Image] [URL] For example, I didn't notice that it was going to move (not delete and copy) file "124" un…

[Quote] I don't think it's likely to be related to my distro since this started happening when I switched from Windows to Linux Mint, and now I'm on Arch and it's been happening fo…

Hi, i have a machine which saves data from a remote Qnap everyday and keeps the shared folder mirrored. As a measure of safe that windows machine, pumps data to a different remote …

[Quote] This is not a warning, it is an error, and it should be addressed instead of hidden

[Quote] Thank you! That seems to be the solution, I have a much better transfer rate and no connection interruptions anymore.

One gripe I have with ignore errors - is it'll also ignore "The following folders are significantly different" Nice safety feature in case source gets hammered by mass file deletio…

Not sure if related or might assist someone else. I cut down on FreeFileSync errors - before first sync I make sure to right click drive letter I'll make the destination - Properti…

Standard version of FFS doesn't have any login credentials and can be installed on as many devices as you want

I am not sure drivepool is what I am looking for. I want something filesych does only to compare one drive to 5 other drives. I don't want to create virtual drive. It's basically t…

Understood, thanks a lot. As an information for others, actually 'x' is a drive connected to a cloud sync, and your information transferred to this obviously means some _contineous…

I would love to but I don't understand what you're asking for. Also, Disk Inventory X doesn't work on macOS 26 so is there another alternative that will help me give you what you'r…

Problem seems to be related to MTP issues in Linux. But I found another solution. On the phone you can install an ftp program like “Cx File Explorer” and create an ftp share. In FF…

Hi, I tested it, but that was not the solution...

I would add exclusions for both of those directories. Neither seems useful in a backup scenario

I know of two programs one of which might help you. Air Explorer. Copies cloud to cloud but don't know if it supports interrnxt. Air live drive. Mount Cloud drives.

We are trying to remove one of our licensed devices and activate the new license but unfortunately, we cannot. [Attachment] Please remove this, as we uninstalled the software. Can …

Thanks for directing me towards using vssadmin. ‘List providers’ shows Microsoft as the only provider. ‘List writers’ would hang indefinitely. Following an Internet tip, I restarte…

C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync Last log was 10-5-25 :(

I'm getting so over these errors. Please, please allow a forced overwrite somewhere. I currently have to locate them manually, delete them, and e-sync.. Error Cannot rename "X:\888…

Thank you. All fixed.

If I remember correctly, copying files from a FAT32 memory stick to NTFS leads to difference in files times (seconds). Is this your scenario? But there are two other things I have …

Unfortunately the FFS In- and Exclude Filter does not support self defined ranges, like you could do with e.g. a regular expression. But, you only need to create 13 entries, the [n…

Flatpak? [URL]

I confirm daviank’s patch works. Many thanks to you both!

In the Donation or Business edition of FFS, in Synchronization Settings (F8) there is a "Send email notification" checkbox mid-low in the window. After checkmarking that box, you c…

Okay wait, I can think of one thing that might've changed, if it helps someone in the future: while trying to find things to change, I did go to System Settings > Session, and chan…

Ran a test. I copied some files from my PC to my Thumb Drive, say Folder A. And the files I copied from my PC were not in Folder A but from another folder Folder B. I then went to …

Just like described for [URL], there is no way to download previous versions of your Business Edition. Only if you retained the installation files of an earlier Business edition ve…

Yeah, I got that far thanks. I am using the regular version 13.7. Would just be nice to have access to Donation Edition features. Maybe I will have to tinker with the source. Are t…

You should not exclude all other files, but rather include only .lnk files. Replace the default [URL] * (=everything) by *.lnk (=all .lnk files)

Thanks you!!

This is the sort of thing I would do with command line and robocopy. However I note your folder names have forward slashes which implies a Linux operating system. If you are on Win…

Useful to know, even if it's a bit of a kludge.

Perfect! :-) Thanks!

Hi, good day and thank you for your reply. yes, indeed, it was just the view... thanks for this, the custom mode did it. SMH for not seeing this.

I have noticed, that there is a strange behaviour potentially costing deleted files. 1. Compare two folder with subfolders 2. In the view - keep only files that are equal ("=" butt…

What kind of permission issue? It worked fine for months and now doesn't. It also works fine when I open FFS and run my batch.

I am curious if anyone else is experiencing this same issue. If you are using Mirror mode combined with Versioning, could you please check your destination folders? Do you see empt…

Thank you very, very much xCSxXenon, I searched for an answer on this forum, but due to the high amount of posts, it's hard to find. You pointed me to the right area, and the probl…

Only if you saved your installer

From the [URL] " ... RealTimeSync waits until a user-configurable idle time has passed with no further detected changes, then runs the command line." So, your RTS command line (i.e…

Thanks for that, seems to resolve the issue nicely. Much appreciated :)

Will try thanks
