You can quickly compare files (bytewise or by date) and synchronize them without limitations, so an arbitrary number of files, subfolders, including empty folders, can be synchronized.įreeFileSync features an easy-to-use UI geared for speed and massive sets of data. It is optimized to allow the highest performance and usability without restricted or overloaded UI interfaces. Since I keep noticing this issue version after version I am to second Midas' comment too ('.A basic error two versions in a row with no regard for user feedback.') and can only hope that the dev will visit this venue and read our comments before releasing another version with the same inconvenient features.īTW, regretfully due to the somewhat 'original/unusual' GUI I accidentally clicked a couple of times the 'Synchronize' button (instead of the 'Synchronization settings' one) and I would really love if the dev could offer us the option to enable/disable a (sort of safety) 'Synchronize now?' (final confirmation) dialog.Ĭoncluding, (if others reading this comment are in agreement) we should probably try to mass-convey to the dev at least (but not limited to) the request to add BOTH the 'Compare now?' and 'Synchronize now?' confirmation dialogs and also to make sure that the user's settings are observed no matter how the folder pairs are loaded into the GUI.FreeFileSync is a file/folder comparison and synchronization tool. So at every run I have to abort + change the settings (to the ones I actually saved originally) + restart the comparison (with the right settings)! This (which IMHO is a plain and simple) bug is quite frustrating and what fuels the frustration even further is not having the option to manually start the comparison process, which starts automatically as soon as the folder pairs are loaded into the GUI. While I second the comments of shodan816 I would like to add that if I open 2 folders (via secondary channels such as SendTo, Open++, etc.) FreeFileSync always opens them with the 'File time and size' settings despite I saved the 'File content' comparison settings.
