I found if source is eg: D:\Test1 (a folder containing some files) and Destination is just E:\ (therefore just the disk, not a folder), synchronisation copies the files to disk E, but not the folder Test1.
How can I get it to create the folder and the files inside on the destination disk?

Apparently you have defined your left base location as D:\Test1 and your right base location as E:\
FreeFileSync (FFS) will then sync the content of D:\Test1 with/into E:\, so not the folder Test1 itself.
Instead, you should define your left base location as D:\Test1 and your right base location as E:\Test1 .
After all, you want the content of D:\Test1 to end up in E:\Test1 .
If E:\ exists, but E:\Test1 does not yet exist, FFS will notify you of that, and ask you if it should create it for you.

Thank you, I tested your suggestion and it now works correctly.
