Hi,

I was trying to sync some files from one computer to another but it only sync with the folder structure, the files are in the documents folder on the pc2, i want them to be like this on the pc1

\Backup\PDF\
\Backup\DOC\
\Backup\Pictures\
\Backup\Videos\

with only the respective files inside them no folder structure, i already made the filters, is there a way to do it?

FFS can only make the destination look like the source. You may have to do four individual syncs with the proper filters per folder

What is your folder structure on pc2, in the documents folder? Why are there pictures and videos in the documents folder?? FFS can only sync, it can't copy all files in all sub-directories on one side to a large directory on the other, not without immense filters and complications. At that point, just use a CMD script that copies "*.xxx" recursively to the pc1 location, where 'xxx' is the file types for videos, pictures, etc.

Folder structure is a mess it goes like \documents\old files\pictures\year\month\day\
Those files are old phone backups
I couldn't move files around on the second pc because my mom was using it, bust since she moved to my pc my best option is to move all files into a folder for each type and then shync them betwen the 2 computers


Thanks for your help.

As a one-time action you can use this FFS option.
