Hello:
I configured for a pc with the cloud and on the other hand that pc with another pc.
Is it possible to do that? In other words, I have FreeFileSync installed on two PCs at the same time, one syncs with the cloud (Onedrive folder) and the other is installed on the second PC between the two PCs.
I ask because there is only one database I think.
The database doesn't confuse the file update with the cloud and the file update with the other PC?
Thank you
Antonio Salatino
Edit (Zenju): Please keep discussions in English.

No problem.
See here, and also the addition of Zenju two replies later.
You can, but even don't need to run FreeFileSync (FFS) on two computers.
If machine A connects to the cloud C and to machine B,
you can run a FFS sync A <=> C, and a FFS sync A <=> B on machine A.
It can even be a single FFS sync using two left-right folder pairs
A <=> C
A <=> B
running on machine A.

Thank you.
Machine A to cloud C
And machine B to Machine A
B does not have access to cloud C
That's why I have FreeFileSync installed on two machines.
I won't have any problems anyway?

But running it on two machines is also fine.
Obviously machine A needs to run the A <=> C sync, but the A <=> B sync can be run ether on machine A or B, as long as the relevant files/folders on the machine not running FFS are available as a network share.
Only thing to note, is that when you run separate syncs for A <=> C and A <=> B (either on machine A respectively B, or both on A) that those two should not be running simultaneously, but rather in sequence.
