Hello,

Is there a way to exclude the hidden files and folders ?
I have only seen the option to exclude folders based on their path.

Thenk you

This has been requested since the origin of times. See viewtopic.php?t=20 or viewtopic.php?t=361.

Apparently, the developer doesn't know how to handle properties of files and folders, and just use the names of the files. But that's not directly said by the developer, so it might not be the reason. 10 years would have been time enough to find out, but on the other hand, he might be too busy.

Synchredible (https://www.ascomp.de/en/start) and https://www.duplicati.com/as well as many others do it. I have been using the first one and have been quite happy with it. It is free too for personal use.

Hopefully (though I've been hopeful for almost ten years), Freefilesync catches up on this.
