Edit: solved. Need the brackets around the name:
"6TB Backup" will result in the below issue.
"[6TB Backup]" will work as desired.

Hello, thanks for the great program!

I'm syncing my internal 6TB ("6TB Main") to an external 6TB ("6TB Backup"). I'd prefer to enter the name rather than browse for the drive letter, since it may change if I have other flash drives etc connected.

However, when I do this, FFS reports all folders and files currently need to be synced. It does not do this if I browse for the drive letter.

Possibly of note: when I click Browse to change from name to drive letter, I get a dialog with this message:
Cannot read file attributes of "mtp:\6TB Backup".

Cannot find "This PC\6TB Backup".
I found this thread from 2015:
viewtopic.php?t=688

But a lot has changed since then. Is this user error? i.e. am I naming the target volume incorrectly?
