I would like to ask how is the RealTime Sync folder monitoring works like.
In example. I have a few folder to copy, like this:
D:\Folder1 -> Z:\Folder1
D:\Folder2 -> Z:\Folder2
D:\Folder3 -> Z:\Folder3
Everything is set up in one batch file.
When user change a file insinde folder2, after idle time, RealTime is start FFS synchronizing. Is RealTime (or exacly FFS) checking only folder2? Or it is checking folder1,folder2,folder3 even if changes are only in folder 2.
It looks for me like it's checking everything... Is there option that it will check only folder2? Maybe i must set up few batch files, every for one folder? The problem is that I have something like 8 folders.

You can define multiple folders to be monitored by RealTimeSync (RTS), via the green "+"-icon on front of the top folder.
If changes can only originate in D: and need to be copied to Z: there is no need to monitor Z:\Folder1 etc., so you only need to monitor D:\Folder1, D:\Folder2 and D:\Folder3.
Conversely, if changes can originate at either side, you need to monitor all six folders.
If having FreeFileSyn (FFS) Compare and Sync all three folder pairs is pretty time consuming, you can split the task between multiple RTS instances; each instance launching the corresponding sync.
RTS1 monitors D:\Folder1 (and optionally Z:\Folder1) and launches an FFS sync D:\Folder1 -> Z:\Folder1
etc.

Ok, so, like I think, if I want to do it faster I should split this 8 folders, into few RTS instances.
Now, like you said, much time consuming. Z: drive is samba drive on router. It is slow, like comparing only few files in second (something like 10/s).
Thank You for reply!
