only copy once

I have files on the left which I want to copy to the right. Once the files are copied to the right, they are processed and then deleted. The next time I do a sync I dont want it to copy the same files again, it should only copy any new non-previously copied files to the right.

Any way to do this using this app?

I believe you need to write a batch file program to do this. FFS is intended to keep 2 directories in sync. What you are looking to do is copy files based on date and then delete them once processed. That would be better suited for a batch copy using robocopy and then once processed to be deleted by the process.
