Good afternoon, first of all say that I do not speak English and I am with the google translator. I was wondering how can I move files from one folder to another automatically after a while. For example, there are 2 folders "source" and "destination", what I want is to move the files from "source" to "destination" but only files that are older than X days. For example, in the "destination" folder there are 2 files "cat.jpg" that has been in the folder for 25 days and "dog.jpg" that has been in the folder for 45 days and I want the files with more than 30 days to be transferred to the "destination" In this case, "dog.jpg" would move because it takes more than 30 days.

Thanks

You can set time spans in in the filter settings. I can't remember if it excludes files older or newer though, so it may do the opposite of what you want, you will have to test

Note that FreeFileSync (FFS) is a synchronization software.
Synchronization is about copying data, to make a destination essentially contain the same data as the source.
Moving files is not copying files, and is not (directly) supported by FFS.
