I'm reporting back that this now mostly works. I donated and downloaded v8.1. I installed it on my home machine in "portable" mode. I then copied the install directory to a flash d…

Inheritance is disabled on the folders.

The command line that you are using to start RealTimeSync is wrong, not the actual RTS configuation.

Nonetheless possibility to synchronise to cloud would be very nice feature (and I would use it - OneDrive in my case - to synchronise specific folders). According to other forum, f…

Awesome! Worked like a charm! Thank you! :)

Background: I want to change my backup plan - some important files on my laptop (on D:\), backed up to external hdd, and cloud (cloud's local folder is in C:\). - i want to move no…

Rats. Would you believe the problem returned ? I had to do a clean re-install. I have restored the user permissions for shutdown & I am using the same batch files...but shutdown is…

Try again with the new beta version, chances are that you'll see a more detailed error message: [URL]

FreeFileSync does not change volume names at any time. Additionally doing so would require admin rights which the tool does not have by default.

ok.. my bad. It won't let me rename it on the server like I said, Either. Must be something with the NAS. Thanks anyway

Probably some AV software that is blocking the installer start (maybe Comodo + HIPS?).

Hello since i updatet to Version 8 the logfile path i set is not working anymore. It creats a logfile in the same directory as the program is. Any help? Greets

I have the same issue. I think it would be easier if you could adjust the software we are downloading to not create a false positive

Hello. My question is if I can ignore newline differences when comparing files. I searched in this forum with "newline" keyword, but I cannot hit, so I posted this question. Regard…

Hi, I want to sync my music mirroring the folder on my win 7 PC to my android device, as long as there are no deletions to be mande on the external sd card of the android device it…

[Quote] Sure, at least with FreeFileSync this isn't a problem.

Thanks for the answer and solution. I did not realize that the term for summer/wintertime is daylight saving time. I did already a try by comparing file contents, which takes time,…

[Quote] Write me an email (use the email at the bottom of the FFS homepage) and I'll send you a new link.

For future reference I've added information about move detection to the manual: [URL]

I've added a new FAQ entry with reasons why Explorer and FreeFileSync may legitimately mismatch: [URL]

[Quote] It happens to me, too. From FFS 7.8 above I cant run the software after clicking on the executable file. Running the version for Debian didnt work, either. I still have ins…

The data associated with an application will usually have a specific file extension, e.g. .doc for Word documents. You can use the filter function [URL] to only sync those files.

Hi, After manually copying those files the sync seems to work. Thanks!

Updates will be posted here: [URL]

So many questions... To answer a few: The ffs_batch file in the root folder is just an example, it can be anywhere, the same applies to the 10 seconds idle time. See also: [URL] No…

Well, I'm a noob, too - but I am syncing to a Western Digital My Cloud box, and to a cloud app I use called Sugarsync. It should sync to just about anything you can reach from the …
