USB memory sticks or external hard disks often get different drive letters assigned when plugged into distinct computers. FreeFileSync offers two solutions to handle this problem:
Option 1: Specify a folder path by using the volume name:
Use
"[ZENJU-USB]\folder"
instead of "G:\folder"
where "ZENJU-USB"
is the volume name of the USB stick which is currently mounted in
drive G:\.

Option 2: Use a relative directory name:
Use
"\folder"
instead of "G:\folder"
Save
and copy synchronization settings to the USB stick:
"G:\Backup.ffs_gui"
Start
FreeFileSync by double-clicking on "G:\Backup.ffs_gui"
→
The working directory is automatically set to "G:\"
by the operating system so that the
relative path "\folder"
will be resolved as "G:\folder"
during synchronization.
