I am trying free file sync to back up my files to external locations. It works fine when I sync manually. But I can not get the program to start automatically by my task scheduler. I want to program to sync files automatically when I start my computer. Can someone help me get it to work. My platform is windows 8.1.
thanks.

You are an impatient man ... (only 6 hours between initial post and "reminder")

All info is in the help-file.
(Don't have access to that now, but ...)
For Windows Task Scheduler you have to enter the full command-line instruction:
the FFS executable (incl. its full path), the correct options and to specify
the desired *.ffs_batch sync configuration-file (incl. its path),
and not just enter the *.ffs_batch -filename.
