Hi All

I have an issue where a NAS Share was replicated to a new device but some files where corrupted during the transfer

I want to re-sync all matching files (same date and size) but not overwrite any files that have been updated (newer) or have been removed for the destination

I can't see an option to sync matching files it only look to give option to transfer filed with difference

Is there an option to only transfer matching files from source to destination?

You could run a compare, then use the boxes at the bottom to toggle what the results will show you. You should see a box with "=" in it, which is hidden by default because rarely do we want to see what files are already in sync. If you click that to show 'equal' files and hide the rest, you can then select all (CTRL-A) in the compare list, then click in the middle section what action you want it to take. By default of course, it will be set to 'do nothing' since they are equal. But, you can change it so it copies all of the left into the right
