I would like to use Freefilesync to copy new and changed files to a third drive.
Drive 1 is in Australia on a Synology NAS but accessible via a windows PC
Drive 2 is in UK on a Freenas but accessible via a Mac Mini
Drive 3 will be floating and used to transfer new and changed files between Drive 1 and Drive 2
Neither Drive 1 or Drive 2 has (or will have) internet access (apart from email)
I was hoping to use Freefilesync to create a file list of a Drive 1, this file list would then be emailed to the UK computer and Freefilesync would then compare the UK Drive 2 against the file list and copy any files that are newer (i.e. newer on Drive 2) to Drive 3.
Drive 3 would then be physically transported to Australia (along with Drive 2 file list) and FreeFileSync would copy the files on Drive 3 to Drive 1
The whole process is then repeated in reverse.
Is this possible (the FreeFileSync bit, physically moving drive 3 between Australia and Uk is already taken care of)
Many Thx

FreeFileSync will need both left and right directories to be accessible during comparison. Apart from that, saving diffs is possible via versioning or CTRL+T.
