Hi,
I am using ... FreeFileSync_11.15_Linux

Thanks for the great software.
I am trying to upload a few files ( 57.3Mb ) to Google Drive, if I use Rclone these would upload in seconds.

If I do the same with FreeFileSync it takes at least 30 minutes !

HI again,

Replying to my 1st post.

It has been better, especially if I use it early in the morning ( less people on Google ? ).

But the strange thing about FreeFileSync is actually seems to lose it's sync with google ?
Sometime I see uploading to 1 MB/sec for about 10 seconds then it slows to a few bytes for another 30 seconds or much longer. It is not my connection as i have 10 MB/sec upload speed all the time.

Either Google are restricting it or FreeFileSync is not keeping the upload connected all the time ?

Just trying to help with a few things I have noticed.

Still great software !

it's taken me almost 3 hours to sync 20GB, estimating 8+hours for ~60GB, this is way too slow for me, i can do it manually in less time; i am very sad to learn this; i was very excited to find this software and looked forward to using it; i have a very large media library and need to use this to backup my files. i guess it cannot handle very large files or libraries... bUMMER!!!

FFS will saturate my 10gb network easily, so definitely not a problem with FFS
