Copy Folders too?

[frank265]

Hi, firstly thanks for a great product. I just started using Free File Sync today and it seems to do everything I want it to but with one exception.

When I copy files from one folder to another, it seems to correctly copy all the files inside of that folder, but it doesn't seem to preserve the folder name from the source drive on the destination drive.

For example, I have a folder called "cars" with images Tesla.jpg and Polestar.jpg. When I copy cars to the destination drive I end up with only Tesla.jpg and Polestar.jpg but no folder called cars.

Am I missing something in the settings? I would be so grateful for some help as this is the only feature I am missing.

Thank you so much...

That will depend on how your directory pairs are laid out.

If you have...

C:\cars\tesla
C:\cars\polestart

& you're copying to:

X:\

you will end up with:

X:\tesla
X:\polestar

If you copy to:

X:\cars\

you'll get:

X:\cars\tesla
X:\cars\polestar

If you copy to X:\testing123\, you'll get:

X:\testing123\tesla
X:\testing123\polestar
