Hello
I just set up freefilesync - thanks for making it available!

Once I installed the software I ran a mirror synchronisation of a folder from a usb drive to a folder I created on an empty portable ssd drive.

The mirroring worked, however it came up with this error, Cannot find file "F:\Backup Projects.ffs_real".

I tried to test the update function and it worked well too, but it popped up with the same error straight after.

Can you please let me know how to fix this error?

Thanks!

Is 'F:' one of the locations you are syncing?

Thanks for your reply. Yes it is the location I'm syncing to.

Can you verify that that file exists in both locations through file explorer?
