USB sticks often get different volume names assigned when plugged into distinct computers. FreeFileSync offers two solutions to handle this issue:
Specify a directory via volume name: Syntax: [<volume name>]\<path>
Example: Use "[ZenJu-USB]\directory" instead of "E:\directory" where "ZenJu-USB" is the name of the USB stick.
Use a relative directory name:
Example: Use "\directory" instead of "E:\directory"
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 is automatically set to "E:\"
by the operating system so that "\directory"
is resolved as "E:\directory"
during synchronization.
