can't find folder to syn under browse

FreeFileSync can't find my folder to sync.

I can find it under file explorer (windows 10 Pro) but when I search for it using the browser button in FreeFileSync it can't find it.

The file is password protected, but the folder should be able to be found.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

That's interesting, what's the path? FFS just opens a file explorer window when browsing

Seems like it will only open a folder. So I put file in a folder and was then able to place into FFS to sync.

Not sure why that is necessary but that did work

thanks for your reply

Ah gotcha. Yes, FFS only syncs folders. Glad you got it sorted! If you don't want another folder to hold a single file, you can select the main folder, and change the include filter from a star, for everything, to just the one file name.
