Hi,

It would be goot to sync without database file (sync.ffs_db).
I do not use "compare by content", it is enough for me to sync by file date.
In fact one of my sources is read only and FFS warns me in the log, that it was not able to create db file. ...

I seem to remember the sync.ff_db file(s) are used for the detection of moved
or renamed files and/or folders.
Deactivating the Detection of moved files and folders should then solve your problem.

Hi Plerry,

I did not activate this function. (Actually I intentionally do not want to track file / folder moving)

You need to select the "Mirror" variant instead of "Two Way".
