Hello,

I am using FreeFileSync Donation Edition for many years now.
Now I consider switching from the installed version to the portable version.

Are there any limitations in the Portable Version of FreeFileSync?
Are the settings (not the sync profiles) stored in the folder of the EXE?
Is there anything else that I should consider?

Thank you for your answers

+1 for the question

I'm looking to try the latest FFS via a portable version.
I dont want to immediately erase my very old installed version (7.x) that I stuck with for years.

Is there a portable version for that in the free version? Or in the donation version only?

Thx

Can anyone give me an idea of how much the donation amount should be until I receive a portable version?

On the FreeFileSync Website I found some more information about the portable version.

The portable version is only available for users of the donation edition:

@mahmoud
I pay the recommended fee (20 Euro for one year) because FreeFileSync is my backup tool and I want to honour the work of the programmer.

Here some information about the portable version:

When I switch form the installed version to the portable version, are the settings of FreeFileSync (not the sync profiles) stored in the folder of the EXE?
