I have been using FFS for a little while now and it has been pretty great so far.

However I have one slight annoyance.

I am using a RTS job to sync a local directory to a OneDrive folder. It works well but it fills my OneDrive Recycle Bin up with sync.ffs_lock. I also hit version limits with that file on OneDrive and need to go in and remove those every so often as well.

Thus, I would like to disable LockDirectoriesDuringSync for that job since there is only ever one FFS job running on those directories and I would like to prevent the creation of sync.ffs_lock files so they don't fill up my OneDrive recycle bin.

See the Expert Settings,
and then specifically the LockDirectoriesDuringSync setting.

You should preferably only set this to "false" if there is no risk that other FFS syncs may run against the same locations at the same time.
