My multiple hard drives have family pictures in multiple folders all over the
drives. I would like to copy all photos in whatever folder to a single shared
folder on my home server WITHOUT maintaining the folder structure. It is
highly unlikely that two different pictures have the same name. The rule or
filter would look something like this:
1. Copy *.jpg /s \\server\pictures
2. If the picture already exists, do nothing
Can FFS do this? It works great to copy from folder to folder, but I would
like to break the tree structure, for at least one backup.

FreeFileSync respects hierarchy by design. So the only way to merge different
folders into one is to setup multiple folder pairs and use the same folder as
target.
