Hey,
Do you plan to release in the future FFS to Winget (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs) ?
Thank you

I am also using WinGet to install applications and to keep my installed applications up-to-date.
Unfortunately FreeFileSync is not available on WinGet, so I requested it on GitHub:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/57900

The official answer from WinGet was:

Blocked due to no silent install; The publisher requires the paid version to be able to perform a silent installation

It would be very useful to have FreeFileSync on WinGet, because I can install FreeFileSync with one little command:

winget install FreeFileSync

I also can update all my installed apps with one little command:

winget upgrade --all

I am a donor user of FreeFileSync for many years now and I really would love to see the donor version of FreeFileSync on WinGet!
Thank you!

OLLI

I second this suggestion!

I am using winget to install all my software. FreeFileSync is the only application I need to install manually by downloading the installation files from the web site. Please add it to winget!

I just discovered the absolute bliss of using Winget via the WingetUI and was very disappointed not to find FFS worked with it. After using Winget, I am slightly annoyed at apps that require downloading/updating. I love FFS, but this would be the cherry on top.

This would be very useful

I hope this function would be added with the next update. Because I have support the project and can now use the Donation Edition. But now I want to install it over UniGetUI (WinGet), so it must support silent install. I don’t think it’s only a feature that you need for Commercial Use only.

It would be fantastic if FFS were in the database for winget. There are over 8,000 applications there some of which are direct competition that are available.

Winget search sync or backup
This command should show free file sync along with all of the other synchronization products.

This is a highly recommend feature for free and donation Edition to. So please change the program for silent install.
