![]() ![]() If I put signs on the side of the freeway for a fueling station, then when I arrive find out it only supports diesels, with instructions to then drive down the street for gasoline, I'd be pretty frustrated. ![]() See here:Īlthough that does go on to say the message seems to only show up in Windows, but that is what you are using ![]() It does have that dialog box as far as I know. If your car only supports diesel fuel and you try to put standard gas in it, it's not the gas station's fault when it doesn't work. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. Instead of googling the solution, which is to write task scheduler scripts, just go ahead and write task scheduler scripts." You may as well have a big old Dialog Box pop up that says, "Hey you're trying to do this exact thing everyone else is doing, but we don't support it. This works fine when Im not VPNd to my work network. My main use case is a two-way sync of Google Drive and my local drive. I think you're going to find a lot of people running into this issue. I just started experimenting with FreeFileSync, and have been really impressed with the feature set and overall 'polish' of the application. But it seems completely counter intuitive. Instead, I have to resort to task scheduler. FFS supports synchronization on Google Drive, but RTS, a program designed to run in real time, won't do it. RTS is not a replacement for Task Scheduler Google Drive doesn't support monitoring, which is what RTS is designed to do. Instead, the FFS manual describes how to use the OS built-in tool for that purpose. As essentially all OS's have built-in tools for doing that (like the Windows Task Scheduler), there was/is no need to provide a dedicated (RTS-like) tool for that. The FFS author made RTS available, as there are few other tools that can do what RTS does.Īnd yes, the fact that Google Drive does not support directory monitoring means you can not use RTS to monitor your Google Drive for changes (you can still use RTS to monitor your "local" drives for changes, if those changes would originate "locally").īut if changes originate on your Google Drive, you need to revert to frequently running FFS. ![]() If you read the RTS manual page, you can read what RTS does (get notified by the OS if changes in the monitored directories occur) and why ( only run FFS when changes did occur). Chris has covered setting up OneDrive as your default save location on Windows 8.1 if you're having trouble.If your message is intended as criticism, you should not criticize FreeFileSync (FFS) and/or RealTimeSync (RTS), but rather Google Drive. Now, whenever you save a picture to the Documents library, it will automatically be synced to cloud storage without you having to manually place it in there. Finally, right-click your newly created folder and choose to set it as the default save location. After this, you'll need to perform the step above to view the Documents Library locations from the screen pictured, add the folder you just created to the library. Libraries are useful by themselves, but paired with cloud storage, they can also be a great backup option. To supercharge a library, first create a folder in your preferred cloud storage with the same name (Documents, for example). For more details and tips, check out how to make libraries work for you, as well as specific tips for Windows 8 libraries. Traditional Windows users might think libraries are useless, and some people might not even have known they existed, but they're a feature worth taking advantage of. ![]()
