Hi,

we're using the donation version in our company and want to use it to sync parts of our server files our notebooks.

When using the "Update" option it would be nice to have a notification or "unresolved conflict" option if right side is newer or right side is newer. Usually, we only work on the server (left) side and we are doing a one-way sync to have a copy for offline situations. But if we accidentally work on a file on the notebook (right) it will be kept without any notification, so there's a chance we forget about it and the information is lost.

It would be nice to have the "leave as unresolved conflict" action on every difference option.

What does this mean?

Do you mean it will be deleted without notification?

3 things:
1. This is a people issue, not a software one. Make sure the right side is never touched or properly protect it
2. FFS is not for commercial use, support for this is likely not to exist
3. You could define a custom sync

The free version can be used commercially, but the Donation Edition is private-use-only: https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#commercial

Yes, important distinction. I just read 'we're using the donation version in our company' and left it at that

Sorry, my fault. I meant if the right side is newer or if the file is only at the right side.

The file won't be deleted on the right side. It will be left as it is in update mode and it is newer than the one the left side. It would be nice to be notified, so we can check manually, if we want to copy it to the left side. Even the custom sync does not provide "leave as unresolved conflict" or other manual control for these cases. Yes, it's a people issue. That's the reason I posted it as feature request and not as software issue.

Sorry for that. We will use the free version then. We only wanted to support your work.
