-
-
-Key Features
-------------
-1. Compare files (bytewise or by date) and synchronize them.
-2. No limitations: An arbitrary number of files can be synchronized.
-3. Unicode support.
-4. Network support.
-5. Full support for Windows/Linux Symbolic Links and Windows Junction Points.
-6. Lean & easily accessible UI: Highly optimized for speed and huge sets of data.
-7. Algorithms coded in C++ completely.
-8. Progress indicators are updated only every 100ms for optimal performance!
-9. Subfolders are also synchronized, including empty folders.
-10. Support for multiple folder pairs
-11. Create Batch Jobs for automated synchronization with or without GUI.
-12. Focus on usability:
- - Only necessary functionality on UI: no overloaded menus or icon jungle.
- - Select folders via drag & drop.
- - Last configuration and screen settings are saved automatically.
- - Maintain and load different configurations by drag&drop, load-button or during startup.
- - Double-click to show file in explorer. (Windows only)
- - Copy & paste support to export file-lists.
- - Delete superfluous/temporary files directly on main grid.
- - Right-click context menu.
- - Status information and error reporting
- - Sort file-lists by name, size or date.

-13. Support for filesizes larger than 4 GB.
-14. Option to move files to Recycle Bin instead of deleting/overwriting them.
-15. Automatically ignore directories "\RECYCLER" and "\System Volume Information" when comparing and sync'ing. (Windows only)

-Advanced topics
----------------
-1.) Synchronize in Batch Mode and send error notification via email:
-
-- Create a FreeFileSync batch file using "silent mode".
-- Set error handling to "Exit with Returncode < 0" or "ignore errors" to avoid having a popup stop the program flow.
- In case errors occur FreeFileSync will abort with a returncode < 0 which can be checked via the ERRORLEVEL command.
-- Create a *.cmd or *.bat file and specify the location of FreeFileSync.exe and pass the name of the FreeFileSync batch file as %1 parameter; e.g.:
-
- C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch
- IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 0 echo An error occurred! && pause
-
-- Instead of displaying "An error occurred!" you can specify any other command like sending an email notification (using a third party tool).
-
-
-2.) Schedule Batch Job in Windows Task Planner
-
-- Create a FreeFileSync batch file. (E.g. C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch)
-- Create a new task in Windows Task planner for FreeFileSync.exe.
-- Modify the task and adapt the execute-command specifying the path to the batch file; e.g.:
-
- C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch
-
-
-3.) Drag & drop support
-
-FreeFileSync has a big focus on usability. Therefore drag & drop is supported in various situations:
-
-You can: - drag & drop any directory onto the main window to set the directory for comparison
- - drag & drop any file onto the main window to set the directory for comparison
- - drag & drop *.ffs_gui files onto the main window to load the configuration contained
- - drag & drop *.ffs_batch files onto the main window to display and edit the batch configuration
- - drag & drop *.ffs_batch files onto the batch dialog to display and edit the batch configuration
-
-
-4.) Synchronize two folders but exclude all subfolders from synchronization
-
-Assuming you plan to synchronize two folders "C:\Source" and "D:\Target", you'll want to setup a filter like this:
-
- Include: *
- Exclude: *\*
-
-This will exclude all files and folders within the two directories that contain a "\" character. These are exactly the subfolders and -files you want to exclude.
