A huge thanks to everyone who is contributing to make this possible!įreeFileSync is available without cost. Beginning with version 10, the project is fully relying on donations from users to finance its ongoing expenses in software development and support. The FreeFileSync installer is now ad-free! Before version 10, FreeFileSync had shown a single advertisement during installation to help fund the project. Binary-comparison also processes all files in parallel.
Folder comparison will issue multiple requests at a time even when traversing only a single base folder, by dynamically managing the workload while recursively reading the folder tree.
The new parallel file operations architecture is not limited to the synchronization step, but used throughout the application. The idle time after issuing each file I/O request while waiting for the network response is not the limiting factor anymore: The number of parallel operations can be set as high as needed until the bandwidth is saturated and the network card is operating at full speed. This new design offers huge performance improvements for all scenarios that are dominated by latency, like synchronization against network shares or cloud devices including SFTP and FTP(S). During synchronization FreeFileSync will then spawn several tasks accordingly instead of processing only one file after another. It is now possible to specify the number of parallel file operations for each device inside the settings. It is really sad to have to write off such a great program due to such a poor decision by the developers to support their work with malware.FreeFileSync version 10 has added support for copying multiple files in parallel. I immediately ran a scan with Malwarebytes and cleaned up the mess that the adware/malware had made. I forgot about this issue and, within the next day, pop-ups and notifications for various obviously fake issues started displaying on her computer. I intended to run a scan using Malwarebytes immediately after this but was in a hurry and had to leave to do something. I, honestly, was not given enough time to reject the install of this adware (yontoo). For the second time, I watched as the installer jumped to the next page after only displaying the option to opt-out the adware for a very brief few seconds. Just to be certain I uninstalled the program and ran the installer again. My hands were not touching her laptop so I know I didn't accidentally hit a key. While reading through this page, after only a few seconds, the installer jumped to the next page and started installing Freefilesync (and, as I would eventually find out, the adware program I was trying to read about). The last time I installed this program (on my fiancee's laptop) the installer got to the page asking to install some kind of adware.
I really loved this program but the malware introduced in the installer has caused me to abandon it.
