Thanks for the tutorial. One question please. Is necessary to have the free file sync or real time sync programs open in order to have the automatic backup (batch task) executed or it will be executed automatically even after an usual restart of my computer?
-
This saved me hours. For some reason syncing is faster than copy/pasting, therefore more efficient. Thank you for the video!
-
Thank you really cleared things up for me!!
-
This seems very helpful and can solve the obsidian problem with windows iCloud folder
-
Thank you for this tutorial. I was using a different file sync installed by our IT and for some reason I can't use it anymore. This video helped me a lot.
-
Glad to see your still out there
-
thanks a lot! I set this up to backup my minecraft world on startup
-
Thanks for this

FreeFileSync also works with Linux and macOS. This is one of the great benefits of many open source packages, a true cross-platform system.
-
Thanks for the video. I would caution people about keeping an external Hdd or Ssd constantly attached though, as while update is good, it affords no protection against theft, fire, corrupt tiles, malware or viruses. On the flip side I just got this program and find it REALLY simplifies my backups. Good tutorial.
-
is there a way to access the synced files remotely? i use photoshop and work on two different computers. thanks.

You kinda skipped of the sync methods. Also 2-way should only be used if you really need, it can make a mess and can also delete stuff. If it's for backup, I'd prefer update. This will do new files and updated ones. First your run a mirror afterward you use update. That way you won't waste time mirroring everything over each time you do a backup. Whe. You do a couple TB, you don't want be doing s backup for days a couple times a month

Nice video! Question: Do you start de RealTimeSync by hand everyday?
-
Great video bro...can I sync to gdrive account with this or one drive account ?
-
Anybody remember Windows briefcase? Old times...
-
I messed up. Tried to use the program to mirror 2 drives. Now I lost one complete file totalling almost 4TB. Any suggestions on how to get it back?
-
Hmmm, I was hoping for a sync overnight option. Any way to have it start sync at 1:00 AM every day?
-
Never seen MS improve their file manage system. They should include this in their newer version of Windows. All they did was making their icons look beautiful.
