Hello
I'm syncing same two folders to NAS drive and external USB (SSD) (sync time MIRROR)
Even all settings are same, when I do it to NAS scanning stars from very beginning each time and takes a long time like it does first time scanning.
But syncing to external SDD, scanning takes a couple seconds and find changings immediately.
I didn't have this problem when I was using Windows PC to same NAS. I've changed my PC to Mac and behaviour is different.
Is there any kind of settings ?
PS: Another clue is, every time I open the application, it cannot find the NAS path and I need to drag&drop the path manually again.

Have you saved your configuration in FFS?

> ... but starts scanning from very beginning
Scanning, as performed in the FFS Compare phase, is always done "from the beginning"; i.e.: all files in the scope of the sync are being scanned for the need of being synced.
If identical files (in name, size and date/time, in an identical path relative to the left and right base location) exist on either side, the scan should determine no renewed sync action is required.
Can't help you with loosing your configuration every time.

Sorry for my lack of explanation.
There are two identical configuration only difference is "config A target is USB SSD", "config B target is NAS".
When I run both config one by one, SSD version takes couple seconds to find "changed files" at compare stage, but config B takes many minutes as it does this first time.. I can understand the speed difference with NAS and SSD (SSD 3 times faster) but duration between to config is extremely differenct.
On the other hand, this is not happening on Windows version of FFS with same configurations/disks.

This may just be something with how MacOS handles the NAS specifically. How are the two computers (Windows / MacOS) connected to the network? Wired or wireless?

Wired on gigabit ethernet.
