Re: [Feature Request]: Enable "move" even if it wasn't sycned the first time
For every file on the 'source' side, FFS would have to scan every single file on the other side to find the corresponding file. How would FFS know if it is a match though? By file name? No, because maybe you want two files with the same name in different locations. By binary content? Also no, becaus...

Re: [Feature Request]: Add a "move" capability
Moving is data is not syncing data, and FFS is for syncing data

Re: Error message I don't understand
My original explanation still applies, the file has been updated in both locations so FFS doesn't know which one to keep. You will have to resolve these conflicts manually

Re: Some files in a batch run don't sync
I have set up a batch job in the Configuration area, and today I noticed immediately after I had run the job (which I do manually), some files hadn't sync'd.

Re: Error message I don't understand
You are using 'two-way' syncing, meaning changes on either side propagate to the other. Your issue is that both sides have changed, therefore FFS can't know which side you really want to keep! You can fix these conflicts yourself by deleting the version you don't want, by running a comparison in FF ...

Re: Copieing new files with memory of copied files
It seems using a Mirror sync variant, with the use of a database ("Use database to detect changes") should do the job you want. See here . Specify your "source" folder as your left base location, and your "destination" folder as your right base location. This is very i...

Re: Performance Improvements
Leave it at the defaultHi,
If I copy files from a network drive (very slow WD-Cloud) to an USB Drive (local memory card) on my computer.
What setting should I set (in paralelle file operation) in order to get the best performance?

Re: Sync Timing Out
Maybe that file is locked while FFS is running, creating a deadlock.
You could try excluding the FFS directory or enabling 'copy locked files' for FFS

They files may have the 'hidden' attribute, meaning you have to do something extra to be able to see them in your local file browser

What is your picture even showing? Wrong file place, but where ? In the local location or in the cloud location?

I also have logs set to 1 day. From the testing I just did, it works like this: - The cleanup only occurs once you run another FFS sync.

You can't get an old donation edition from the website, but it is still advisable for your to install the last free version to test if it starts working again. If it does, update to the latest and test again. If it breaks again, it is likely a FFS issue
