USB sticks often get different volume names assigned when plugged into distinct computers. FreeFileSync offers two solutions to handle this issue:
Option 1: Specify a directory via volume name: Syntax: [<volume name>]\<path>
Use
"[ZenJu-USB]\directory"
instead of "E:\directory"
where "ZenJu-USB"
is the name of the USB stick.
Option 2: Use a relative directory name:
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.
