USB sticks often have different volume names assigned to them when plugged into two distinct computers. In order to handle this flexibility FreeFileSync is able to process directory names relative to the current working directory.
Thus the following workflow is possible:
Replace
the absolute USB directory name in your configuration by a relative
one:
E.g. "E:\SyncDir"
-> "\SyncDir"
Save and copy synchronization settings to the USB stick: "E:\settings.ffs_gui"
Start
FreeFileSync by double-clicking on "E:\settings.ffs_gui"
=>
Working directory automatically is set to "E:\"
by the operating system so that "\SyncDir"
is interpreted as "E:\SyncDir"
during synchronization.
