Hi,
I have been using FreeFileSync in Windows 7 machines for several years now without any problems.
Now I am facing a synchronization problem in my fairly new MacBook Pro Sierra 10.12.3 machine. Synchronization of the same files from internal hard drive to NAS LINKSTATION in my home LAN succeeds as always before. But synchronization of some of the previously successfully synchronized files from the NAS LINKSTATION to Mac's USB Transcent drive fails to a following error:
Unable to move <file name> to the recycle bin.
OSStatus Code -36: I/O error (bummers)

This problem (Unable to move <file in an USB drive> to the recycle bin) appears almost daily when trying to synchronize the contents of folders in a network NAS LINKSTATION with the contents of corresponding folders in an USB drive. Normally FFS finds severals files to be synchronized at the same time. Only some of the files face this problem. Sometimes I have to perform several restarts of my Mac before FFS finally succeeds to perform the necessary synchronizations for all the files.
Never faced this problem with FFS in Windows 7 machines.
Minor change of the error report when FFS 8.10 is used.
Yet after a restart of Mac FFS 8.10 succeeds to synchronize all files and folders which just failed before the restart.

Further updates to this FFS error behaviour (in case some developer is interested in this error?):
- strange thing is that during the first execution FFS manages to move some of the existing files from USB drive to recycle bin but not all. And these failing moves seem to concern always the same few files;
- after a restart of FFS version 8.10 also those previously failing moves succeed;
- this FFS action has nothing to do with .DS_Store and ._AppleDouble problems since there is a BlueHarvest appl to keep my USB drive clean of those hidden files.
