Hi all,
FFS show "Memory allocation failed: 18897667 bytes" during compare phase when machine has more than 40GB of free memory.
OS is Windows Server 2012R2.
Folder I'm trying to sync has 1M+ files, but there are other folders with same amount of files that I've synced successfully before.
Any ideas?

Any error code or message when you get this failure?

It's just "Out of memory" (see screenshot attached)
Task Manager shows 40+ GB of free memory at the moment, and all the way during folder comaprsion attempt.

So what, you're on Win7, & with 14.9 you're relegated to the x86 version?
(And where older version could use x64.)
(Oh, yes, that's it. I should have followed the link in Zenju's post, first ;-).)
