To install FreeFileSync on the Linux-based Western digital my cloud operating system, a binary installation file with a BIN extension is required. Tell me how I can get it.

Is it correct that the download itself contains a .run file?To install
An you cannot run that .run file?
If you would to rename .run to .run.bin, would that then work to effect an install?
Or, does the .run run, so the install actually worked?
But then you cannot run FreeFileSync itself in order to run FFS?
And if it is that, can you rename FreeFileSync to FreeFileSync.bin (& maybe change a shortcut to point to same) & have FFS run like that?

No, it doesn't work that way. The distribution has a RUN file, but if you rename it to BIN, the installation system says: "Incompatible application package file." The system can only install a program from a binary file with a BIN extension

FFS doesn't come with a .BIN so you won't be able to install it

If somebody were to bother to go through the steps required to convert the FreeFileSync package into a WD My Cloud app (https://community.wd.com/t/my-cloud-os5-app-template/286542) it could be done.
A list of available apps for that series of devices is listed at https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/29960/~/my-cloud-os-5%3A-download-and-install-3rd-party-apps-manually#subject1 and the various json files list the .bin files, which contain a tar file with all the assets like so:
