Hi,

I'd like to compare two folders and their content by date and time.
Instead of afterwards updating one or two of the folders, I'd like to make FreeFileSync copy to a third folder which contains all files; that should be
• the files that are equal on both sides (only one copy of course)
• files that only appear in one of the sources
• in case of a date conflict: the newer file.

In my understanding that would be a two-way-synchronisation with the only difference that the source folders should stay original; the two-way-sync-result would point to a new folder.

Is this possible with FreeFileSync?

You could just do two 'updates', A to C and B to C
