I have the same Problem. my FreeFileSync_13.9_[Donation_Edition]_Setup.key is not able to install on Windows 10. What should I do? I want to have a simple solution, because I am no…

Hello I got 'both sides have changed' for two files I tried to sync with Google Drive. I tried deleting the two files on both sides, then uploading them manually to Goog Drive. I g…

[Quote] Thanks, I'll take a look!

My apologies. I guess after years of use I have never seen that message. I should have done a bit more investigating. The message was completely accurate. When i changed one of the…

@therube Thank you for the link.  It's definitely interesting to me.  FFS and the information in your link are IMHO important to my backup process roadmap, which includes use on Wi…

Hi therube, In my case I created the file ending with "etc." in Zorin and wanted to save on an external drive formatted ntfs. I don't know if the file had been created in Windows..…

There are no suggestions?

As someone pointed out earlier, the accuracy of the backup is the most important thing so I did a folder compare between the source and the USB backup using FreeCommander (much bet…

after analyzing the folders with the most errors, we found that the owners were groups instead of individuals, so we started changing the owner of those and we got a lot of those e…

Thank you for the links. Some interesting reading and a good workaround.

Registered for an account to say I am getting the same exact error. ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: The system cannot find the file specified. [CopyFileEx]

New is only available once you have had (at least 1 of the) folder pairs entered. Just set up your wanted folder pairs & go. (But don't hit, New, at that point, cause you'll wipe o…

That's just perfect, thank!

Apologies, maybe something was indeed going on with my network, it sped up a lot after a while, around the 20m mark it suddenly sped up to about 50 MB/s! False alarm I guess, sorry…

[Quote] That would be a great idea! ToDo.

Ahh I missed that! I'm going to fix that at once! Thanks allot for the help :-)

It almost sounds like FFS is 'stuck' trying to move something to the Recycle Bin. If you change deletions to "permanent", does the behavior change?

Many thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way because this filter refers to the file date. As I add old files from different sources to the collection folder, th…

The configurations that display in the list are determined/saved in the GlobalSettings.xml file that FFS keeps in %APPDATA%\FreeFileSync. Once you open a configuration in FFS, it s…

It appears to have cleared itself after another reboot.

Hello, I’m facing an issue where my macOS shell script is being triggered on completion, but the parameters are not resolving as expected. I’m calling the script like this: runonco…

..I just right-clicked the .._install.run file in the nemo gui; then the terminal opened; answered 'y' for yes proceed and voila .. installed.

found the jobs including settings in the home folder and opened / imported them .. works :-)

Yes of course, what would you like me to post? settings 1 > 4 I tried with 1>3 1>2 same Yes but only with windows 24H2 bastard

yep, version 13.9 seems to be the one. Thanks to developer

Your RealTimeSync (RTS) configuration is saved as a *.ffs_real file. Simply search for *.ffs_real files and delete it, or delete the appropriate one (if you have more than one). As…

Thank you! Exactly what I need!

I keep getting sync error messages when I want to copy files from a sub-folder a parent folder. I want to move all my images files from the multiple folders that Apple iPhone creat…

[Quote] The advantage is that you can perform a one-way sync. Syncthing only performs 2-way sync.

Agree XCSxXenon... Sorry I misread it as wanting the subfolders but not the files.

It didn't :( Had to go back to Mirror option

Hi, I use google drive to synchronize. I installed FreeFileSync to another comp and made the same synchronization for the same folder. Then appears the following errors [Code] I fo…

[Quote] That is a more accurate way to say what I was intending to convey

Same situation - posting to follow the thread; thanks!

Nope! FreeFileSync is, as the name suggests, a file synchronization program. For just moving files you need a file manager program, like e.g. Windows File Explorer.

for Windows: Select the files with "blizzard" symbol or (use Control + A to select all) -> right Click -> Set Direction (right or left) By this you can simultaneously change the di…

All drives go bad, at least you found out with some time left! To work around these issues, I do this: 1. Pause the sync when it locks up 2. disconnect and reconnect the drive 3. R…
