I have two folders:
A with files A1, A2, A3
and B with files A1, A2, A3
A and B files has the same files (completed sync).
B its cloud storage.
A is the files in PC.
I have two PCs.
When i make changes from PC1 or PC2 to B folder (separated)
all files between A and folder B are sync.
i.e:
in PC1 add file A4 in A folder > in B folder copied file A4
in PC2 delete A3 in B folder > in A folder deleted file A3
All of this with "file time and size" compare.
The problem is when i make changes from PC1 and i want to transfer these to PC2.
i.e.:
in above example when i delete A3 file in B folder in PC2
then nothing change to PC1 (the file remains without delete).
But when i choose the "file size" compare method then all work perfect.
I want the folders A and B to be full sync.
Is this some bug or i 'm doing something wrong?
file time and size sync bug???

I saw that freefilesync save in folder a sync.ffs_db file.
I dont know the content of this file but i suppose it have info for sync.
This file is the same for all PCs.
When i delete the db file then considers to make change from PC to B folder.
In the same way, i suppose that does not work well with two PCs that try to sync files with B folder.
I'm thinking if you tried to save separate db files with some identification for each machine that run freefilesync.
i.e. PC1_usr1_sync.ffs_db
PC1_usr2_sync.ffs_db
PC2_usr1_sync.ffs_db
etc

I just check it with two txt files a and b.
The a has:
size: 430 KB (440.638 bytes)
size on disk: 430 KB (440.832 bytes)
The b has:
size: 429 KB (440.122 bytes)
size on disk: 432 KB (442.368 bytes)
The above files does not sync with neither option.

Are you set up to sync the A folders between PCs 1 and 2? Sounds like not, but there's a lot of info you provided.
The sync.db files work fine and are not the cause of your issue.

The sync is in PC1 and PC2
between folder A and folder B.
Folder A is local folder in PC1 and PC2.
Folder B is cloud storage folder.

And you are using two-way for the syncing on both PCs?
