You can ignore this warning safely. I've rephrased the text for the next version to make it sound less intimidating.

What is the answer to his problem? I have it also.

Hi Peter,
I assume you used "two-way sync" before but are now using "automatic mode", correct? Automatic mode detects any changes and mirrors them to the other side. This means if you copy an old file to one sync-dir this file is mirrored to the other side, even though it overwrites a newer one.
Regards, ZenJu.

I have a problem with a three way sync. Some files that are updated by computer A, get replaced by an older version from computer B. Looking at the FreeFileSync GUI, I see clearly that the date on some files is different, but still it does not conclude that this file should be updated. This used to work fine in version 2.
thanks
Peter.

Yes, manual deletion is possible, but if there are a lot of sub-folders and only some of them are still the same, determining which ones are still the same and manually deleting takes a lot of manual steps. Feel free to close this request if this is too far from what FFS was designed for.

If it's not functionality to "find duplicates by content only" but simply by "name and content" or only "by name", then what functionality are you currently missing? A comparison by content is already possible as well as (manual) deletion from one side only.

Using the existing hierarchical view, a simple way to do it would be to have new actions "delete from left" and "delete from right" that could be applied when both sides are the same. This would only be for files with the same name on both sides, so it's not a general-purpose duplicate finder, but a way to cleanup an old backup after verifying that both copies are the same.

Well, this is going to be difficult. Not from a technical perspective, but from a usability point of view: Currently FreeFileSync's main grid offers a hierarchical display of two directory structures.
"Finding duplicates" is a mode that is not compatible to such a view in many aspects. I don't see how this could be smoothly integrated without degrading overall user-experience for...

> Is there any way to set up a three-way sync that deletes files properly?
This usecase is explicitly supported (since v3.1) and should already work like you expect it to!
>but then the sync between B and C will restore the file to C
Are you sure, you also use mode to sync b and c? It should delete the file from b.

I love FreeFileSync. I've been looking for something like this ever since Microsoft introduced the briefcase, but failed to deliver on it. Thanks!
Here is my question: I have two workstations, A and B, which I need to keep in sync. I can't synchronize them directly because typically only one is networked at a time. Therefore, I'm synchronizing each of them with the file server C. That works...
