Hi - I have loved using FreeFileSync for some years now to keep discs mirrored. I now have an application (getting pictures off of my iPhone) where I want to copy from the source to the destination and not mirror - i.e., if file A is on both source and destination, it should be updated on the destination; if file A is on the source but not destination, it should be copied; but otherwise nothing more should be done. In particular, if B is on the destination but not the source, it should remain there.
I can't find a user's manual and the page https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=synchronization-settings doesn't explain Update, but that's what I think I need to do. Sorry for what is probably a silly question, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Yep - you want Update...
- Update should NOT change anything in SOURCE location.
- It copies new and modified files to DESTINATION location.
- It does NOT delete any files from either location.
