  • The automatic replacement of disallowed characters in folder and file names on Windows now works for additional protocols, including FTP, SSH/SFTP, and WebDAV.
  • Improvements, fixes and optimizations for the WebDAV protocol.
  • When creating spanned zip files (with a maximum file size per zip part), Syncovery will now intelligently decide whether to put the temporary files in the TEMP folder or in the destination folder (if “Compress directly to destination” is used).

New in Syncovery 10.13.0 Build 190 (Mar 11, 2024)

  • Includes a new, vastly improved Sharepoint library selection dialog with a hierarchical tree view showing groups, sites, users, and libraries, which also features a Search button to take you to the site you need quickly.

  • Fixes connection problems with the personal OneDrive (not for business).
  • Fixes buttons on the subfolder selection dialog missing on some screens.

New in Syncovery 10.12.0 Build 180 (Feb 23, 2024)

  • Syncovery is now aware of Azure BLOB Snapshots. It can copy/move Aure BLOBs with snapshots from one location to another, as long as they are in the same storage account. It can also delete BLOBs along with any snapshots they may have.
  • Syncovery now automatically ignores small file changes that occur when a file is uploaded to Sharepoint online and the server adds some metadata.
  • Fixes a problem re-authorizing a OneDrive for Business connection because the Sharepoint servers no longer accept URLs containing “-my” as a valid tenant.
  • Improves reliability of re-starting the service scheduler and the Syncovery GUI when an update is installed. On Windows only, an update log file is created under C:ProgramDataSyncoveryUpdates.log.
  • Increases default job splitting threshold to 5 million files on Windows and macOS (2 million on Linux).

New in Syncovery 10.11.16 Build 176 (Feb 19, 2024)

  • Fixes rare Access Violation errors when using the Sz format for compression with a compression level higher than Ultrafast.

New in Syncovery 10.11.14 Build 174 (Feb 13, 2024)

  • Implements a workaround for PCloud listing error 5000: if a recursive listing cannot be retrieved, Syncovery automatically falls back to a non-recursive listing and tries recursive listings for subfolders. It also maintains a list of folders that cannot be listed recursively (due to their size, presumably).

New in Syncovery 10.11.13 Build 173 (Feb 13, 2024)

  • Adds support for Google Cloud Storage authorization without a Private Key, if the GCS SDK is installed and authorized, by using the command “gcloud auth print-access-token”.
  • Fixes a crash when the PuTTY Pageant program is running on Windows and Syncovery makes an SFTP connection using TGPuttyLib.
  • Fixes a bug in the code that deletes has files created by the Syncovery Remote Service.

New in Syncovery 10.11.8 Build 168 (Feb 5, 2024)

  • Adds the new $RUNMODE variable for profile base paths – which will resolve to either Manual or Scheduled.
  • PascalScript enhancements, especially adding the new OnProfileStart hook and the new SendMail and SetNTFSReadOnly functions, as well as the global variables LineEnding, RunningUnattended, ExportFileListFilename and ExportFileListWithSHA256.

New in Syncovery 10.11.7 Build 167 (Feb 3, 2024)

  • Fixes a bug where a specified Proxy server would be ignored for some types of HTTP based connections.

New in Syncovery 10.11.6 Build 166 (Feb 1, 2024)

  • Fixes a bug causing a 404 error when moving files from one Azure BLOB container to another. As a result, the files would be copied instead of moved.
  • Fixes possible bogus “duplicate folder” errors with Azure BLOB storage.
  • The OnGetNextRunTime PascalScript hook is now more reliably called, so that the script can choose the next run time when the scheduler is started (rather than only after a profile run).

New in Syncovery 10.11.5 Build 165 (Feb 1, 2024)

  • PascalScript enhancements.
  • The Syncovery.ini file location can be locked by adding SettingsLocationLocked=1 to the [Main] section of Syncovery.ini.

New in Syncovery 10.11.4 Build 164 (Jan 31, 2024)

  • Adds support for Office365 in the Microsoft US Government Cloud.
  • Includes a fix that could cause two versions for each file to be created upon Sharepoint upload. The version clean-up had been implemented long ago, but it turned itself off after the first empty file upload because empty files do not get two versions upon upload.
  • Minor fixes.

New in Syncovery 10.11.3 Build 163 (Jan 26, 2024)

  • Improved speed and stability of Sz compression levels “Medium” and up, which use LZMA.
  • Contains updated LZMA and 7zip libraries.
  • Fixes moved side detection when one side is DropBox.
  • Additional minor fixes and improvements.

New in Syncovery 10.11.2 Build 162 (Jan 24, 2024)

  • Adds free space checking before downloading to temporary files.

New in Syncovery 10.11.1 Build 161 (Jan 22, 2024)

  • Adds checkmarks to the Compression/Encryption tab sheets to make it optional whether to keep copied, then unzipped archives and decrypted PGP files at the destination. The option “Keep unpacked archive files at destination” does not apply to the most frequently used restore of individually compressed files. These are never kept at the destination upon restore. The new checkmark only applies to “other” kinds of archives, which are not directly recognized by Syncovery, and which are copied, then unzipped.

New in Syncovery 10.11.0 Build 160 (Jan 21, 2024)

  • Syncovery now uses Google Cloud Service Accounts to connect with Google Cloud Storage. See Synchronizing Files with Google Cloud Storage using Syncovery for details.

  • Fixes an Integer Overflow error that could occur during the first few minutes after booting a Windows PC or server.

New in Syncovery 10.10.2 Build 157 (Jan 19, 2024)

  • Automatically switches to SecureBlackBox SSL/TLS for all protocols if the new OpenSSL version doesn’t work (which apparently happens on some systems).

New in Syncovery 10.10.0 Build 155 (Jan 16, 2024)

  • Can now encrypt using PGP encryption.
  • Can now decrypt PGP files without the user having to install any GPG software.

New in Syncovery 10.9.7 Build 152 (Jan 10, 2024)

  • Fixes a visual issue with the file list building progress dialog.

New in Syncovery 10.9.6 Build 151 (Jan 9, 2024)

  • Fixes a bug that was introduced by the new smarter moved files detection in version 10.9.0: it could somtimes lead to files being moved on the wrong side in one-way syncs, even when using Exact Mirror.
  • Also contains an additional smaller moved files side detection improvement for two-way syncs.

New in Syncovery 10.9.5 Build 150 (Jan 7, 2024)

  • Small bugfix regarding the speed improvements.

New in Syncovery 10.9.4 Build 149 (Jan 7, 2024)

  • Significant, sometimes dramatic speed improvements with several cloud services (especially S3).
  • Further improvements in handling errors setting timestamps via FTP.
  • Additional minor improvements and fixes.

New in Syncovery 10.9.2 Build 147 (Jan 4, 2024)

  • Includes TGPuttyLib updated to build 25 based on the latest PuTTY v0.80.
  • Improved timezone detection on Linux.
  • On Windows, the WebDAV protocol automatically switches to SecureBlackBox SSL on systems where the new OpenSSL version 3.2 doesn’t work.
  • Syncovery will now log details if setting file timestamps via FTP fails.

New in Syncovery 10.9.1 Build 146 (Dec 26, 2023)

  • Fixes a bug in v10.9.0 where Syncovery could not decrypt settings files encrypted with a user defined password.

New in Syncovery 10.9.0 Build 145 (Dec 25, 2023)

  • Improved detection of moved files. Last access and parent folder timestamps are now taken into account to determine on which side the move was originally made, so it will be mirrored on the other side. Automatic left/right detection for moved files can now be used in Standard Copying mode too, not just in SmartTracking like before.
  • Includes OpenSSL v3.2, which is used by all Internet Protocols except Mega and SSH/SFTP.
  • You can now use volume serial numbers like volume labels in paths, such as 7A7B-CF6B:FolderName
  • Various optimizations and security improvements
  • Performance improvement: avoids comparing security settings when only the folder timestamp needs to be updated.

New in Syncovery 10.8.11 Build 144 (Dec 8, 2023)

  • Fixes possible crashes when uploading only 1 file in parallel to FTP, caused by the new keep-alive feature from version 10.8.9.

New in Syncovery 10.8.10 Build 143 (Dec 6, 2023)

  • Can now use temporary filenames while uploading files using Sz compression. This will be done when the option “Automatically resume (copy with temporary filenames)” is used. Previously, the setting was ignored for uploading with Sz compression because the final compressed size is not known when the transfer starts. Interrupted Sz transfers can only use immediate resumes while the job is running; broken uploads have to start over from 0 when the job is started again. But the temporary filename is useful in many cases, especially to avoid confusing a partial file with a complete one.

New in Syncovery 10.8.9 Build 142 (Dec 3, 2023)

  • Adds *.pdf;*.png to file masks not to copy on a block level basis.
  • No longer restores file security while doing an integrity test.
  • Deletes temp files when doing test integrity on Synthetic files.

New in Syncovery 10.8.8 Build 141 (Nov 30, 2023)

  • Adds buttons to the Monitoring Tool to stop all jobs in the network, stop all schedulers, and start all schedulers.
  • Automatically replaces trailing space characters in folder and file names when uploading to DropBox, becaue these are forbidden.
  • No longer checks base folder existence on S3 servers, especially when they are the source side, to avoid unnecessary error messages.

New in Syncovery 10.8.7 Build 140 (Nov 24, 2023)

  • Makes it possible to combine two rarely used features, which would previously not work together: using an “Intermediate Copying Location” and continuous sync, aka “Use a single never-ending profile run”.
  • Fixes a bug where download errors would not be completely handled, which could leave empty or incomplete files at the destination. Such files are now correctly managed again.

New in Syncovery 10.8.6 Build 139 (Nov 24, 2023)

  • Fixes a rare Access Violation error that could occur when verifying a file over SSH/SFTP using both the Sz file format and TGPuttyLib (only on Windows).
  • Improved and uniform compiler optimization settings have been applied to all executables and languages.

New in Syncovery 10.8.5 Build 138 (Nov 23, 2023)

  • Ensures that the new prompt from 10.8.4 appears only for background jobs if the user has activated it via the checkmark on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet Misc (“Background jobs may prompt to turn on and connect missing drives”).
  • Fixes binary file verification for various situations envolving the Sz file format and Synthetic Backup and/or using permissions embedded in the compressed file.
  • No longer retries reading a folder due to duplicate folders on Google Drive.
  • Syncovery can now migrate a mix of Microsoft and Google Documents from one Google Drive to another Google Drive and keep the original format. Except for drawings, which remain in the image format that was used for the download (such as PNG or JPG).
  • To achieve this, both sides must have Document Conversion enabled, and you need to take close look at the Google Docs tab sheet, which determines the types used for downloading. These types must also be checked for conversion upon upload.
  • The new feature needs to be enabled by pasting the following PascalScript into the profile, via the Job tab sheet and the PascalScript… checkmark:
  • function OnGetProfilePathBeforeListing(const isRightSide:Boolean;
  • var Path,UserName,Password:UnicodeString;
  • var AuthKey,AuthKeyPassword:AnsiString;
  • var Port:Integer):Boolean;
  • begin
  • ConvertOnlyConvertedGoogleDocs:=true;
  • Result:=true;
  • end;

New in Syncovery 10.8.4 Build 137 (Nov 19, 2023)

  • Minor fixes.

New in Syncovery 10.8.2 Build 135 (Nov 6, 2023)

  • Implements decompressing files when comparing two files via external diff tool from the Sync Preview.
  • Prevents unnecessarily reducing block sizes after SFTP transfer interruptions with TGPuttyLib, which could cause slow transfers.
  • Adds the new versioning option to the web GUI.
  • Fixes exporting all profiles via XML from the Windows web GUI.

New in Syncovery 10.7.8 Build 129 (Oct 17, 2023)

  • Avoids scanning the destination side for “Move Files to Destination” profiles when the source side is empty.
  • Fixes some HTTP profiles not working in v10.7.7 when trying to download a specific file from a web site.

New in Syncovery 10.7.7 Build 128 (Oct 15, 2023)

  • Fixes a bug where real-time synchronization could unexpectedly remove empty folders.
  • Jobs not run due to low memory will now show a warning status on the Profile Overview rather than only on the Scheduler tab sheet.
  • When comparing folder attributes, Syncovery can now ignore the Archive attribute when you add IgnoreArchiveAttrForFolders=1 to the [Main] section of Syncovery.ini.
  • Syncovery.exe can now be run with /MONITOR to launch the monitoring tool directly.
  • Fixes the Syncovery Guardian Service not being restarted after installing an update.

New in Syncovery 10.7.5 Build 125 (Oct 9, 2023)

  • Adds a checkmark to the Monitoring Tool, tab sheet “Configuration via Central Status Storage” to “use this machine as a broker than uploads other machine’s status information (obtained via direct connection – CIFS)”.
  • Adds the OnNeedToReRun PascalScript hook that allows to determine if a job should be re-run after the re-run delay specified in the profile.

New in Syncovery 10.7.4 Build 124 (Oct 3, 2023)

  • Fixes compatibility with some unusual S3 compatible servers that do not understand “Expect: 100-continue”.
  • Uploading zip packages can now refrain from using a temporary file name if you add AvoidTempNameForPackageUploads=1 to Syncovery.ini.

New in Syncovery 10.7.3 Build 123 (Oct 2, 2023)

  • Added an option to spawn separate subjobs simultaneously or not (previously the subjobs were always simultaneous).
  • When using subjobs, the main job will no longer request recursive listings from cloud services such as S3 or PCloud. This will enable the sub-job feature to be used for large directly structures where a single recursive listing for the whole hierarchy cannot be provided by the servers.

New in Syncovery 10.7.2 Build 122 (Sep 21, 2023)

  • Adds an option to follow .lnk links on the tab sheet General Filters.

  • Fixes a problem with zip files split into parts. When uploading a newer version, Syncovery would delete the older .zip and .z01 files but leave the other parts on the target storage.
  • Similarly, if versioning is used and the backup files are split, the split files were not handled correctly (for example not renamed along with the main .zip part).

New in Syncovery 10.3.12 Build 72 (Mar 15, 2023)

  • Fixes a problem with zip files split into parts. When uploading a newer version, Syncovery would delete the older .zip and .z01 files but leave the other parts on the target storage.
  • Similarly, if versioning is used and the backup files are split, the split files were not handled correctly (for example not renamed along with the main .zip part).

  • Updated the web GUI with the “Additional Destinations” feature and a few more checkboxes on the Program Settings dialog.
  • Removed the 100 open sockets limit from the Windows version. The limit was recently introduced but it caused problems in some cases, which need to be investigated in more detail.

New in Syncovery 10.3.6 Build 66 (Feb 19, 2023)

  • Updated the web GUI with some of the new Syncovery 10 features.
  • The “Move Files To Destination” mode option to “delete files from the source side which are excluded by masks” now works with hidden and read-only files too.

New in Syncovery 10.3.5 Build 65 (Feb 16, 2023)

  • Automatically decodes double-encoded characters when downloading from E-Builder via WebDAV.
  • Adds the new S3 storage class “Glacier Instant Retrieval” and the new “bulk” restore option.

  • Fixes possible hangs in FTP library 1 and crashes in FTP library 2. Neither of these are frequently used, the default library is 3.
  • Improves the ability to access folders and files with special Unicode characters which are not encoded in the default character set encoding. An example would be ANSI characters on an FTP storage that normally uses UTF-8. Such folders and files can be accessed via SFTP as well as FTP library 4.

New in Syncovery 10.3.2 Build 62 (Feb 10, 2023)

  • Fixes a bug causing inability to start jobs with additional destinations in the background.

New in Syncovery 10.3.1 Build 61 (Feb 9, 2023)

  • Profiles with priority level 0 are now exempted from any priority limitations. The new priority mechanism will only affect profiles with a priority level of 1 and higher.
  • Added a detailed error message where it would previously only say “Not started – please try again in a short while”

New in Syncovery 10.3.0 Build 60 (Feb 8, 2023)

  • Profiles can now be given a priority. The scheduler can avoid starting lower priority jobs when higher priority jobs are running, or they can be paused if a higher priority job starts later. Alternatively, lower priority jobs can be limited to a single copying thread while a higher priority job is running. The new feature needs to be enabled on the “More” tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog. After that, each profile has a new field in Advanced Mode. You will find the priority field in the top right of the profile editor. We recommend using priority numbers between 1 and 100, but you can go as high as 1000000 or even higher. A higher number means a higher priority.

New in Syncovery 10.2.7 Build 57 (Feb 7, 2023)

  • B2 upload improvements (especially for large files with multi-threaded uploads), including a more efficient socket usage and an automatic limit of max. 100 open sockets. The maximum number will automatically be shared between the threads, so that each thread gets a chance (although a thread sometimes has to wait until a socket slot becomes free).
  • E-mail notifications now include the headers Message-Id and MIME-Version to avoid being detected as spam.
  • macOS only: avoids unnecessary updating of the login item for the Background Scheduler, to avoid repeated info pop-ups in macOS 13 (Ventura).
  • macOS only: fixes umlauts in the German GUI and log files.
  • macOS only: Fixes a few bugs related to multiple destinations in a single profile.

New in Syncovery 10.2.6 Build 56 (Jan 30, 2023)

  • This update completes the new feature to download from DropBox public links. They now work with subfolders and show file details, including size and modification date/time. You can just paste the whole link in the left or right base paths and do not need to change any other settings.
  • The command line tool SyncoveryCL now handles Ctrl-C better and finishes jobs rather than just exiting.
  • Some bugs have been fixed related to changing a base path in the Sync Preview to achieve a different copying destination from the folder used during scanning.

New in Syncovery 9.45m Build 343 (Feb 3, 2022)

  • Continuous/never-ending profile runs only: if deletions are disabled due to an exception or other error or listing discrepancy, they will now be reinstated on the next continuous run rather than remaining disabled until the profile is completely stopped and restarted.
  • Wasabi France region added to list of S3 providers.
  • Can download from DropBox public links if you remove the ?dl=0 at the end of the URL and choose the HTTP protocol.

New in Syncovery 9.45l Build 342 (Feb 1, 2022)

  • Fixes a bug that was introduced in 9.45i causing recursive listings to fail and use excessive memory if the FTP server included . and .. entries in the listing.
  • Improved handling of the next full run time for real-time profiles that also have scheduled full runs.
  • Web GUI improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.45k Build 341 (Jan 30, 2022)

  • Implements the speed limit for uploading compressed packages.
  • Uses a bit less memory when processing large recursive FTP listings.
  • Can now upload empty files to Azure BLOB storage.
  • The Archive Flag filter is no longer applied to Internet Protocols, as these don’t have an archive flag.

New in Syncovery 9.45j Build 340 (Jan 29, 2022)

  • Fixes Combo Edition registration codes not being recognized in 9.45i.

New in Syncovery 9.45i Build 339 (Jan 29, 2022)

  • Fixes a few issues with recursive FTP listings, especially from Synology NAS devices.
  • Fixes a problem with the destination file list cache when used with FTP servers, where older files don’t get a reported time of day in the listing. The cache database didn’t remember this status and reported the time as midnight UTC, which could cause files to be re-copied every time the job runs.
  • Block level copying (esp. uploading to SFTP) can now tolerate if the source file becomes larger during the copy.

New in Syncovery 9.45f Build 336 (Jan 24, 2022)

  • These updates fix a problem where in some cases, zip files with only metadata rather than the actual content were created. It happened if Syncovery had downloaded the source file via a protocol rather than accessing it locally, and was also configured to save metadata or alternate data streams in the archive. In another case, it could happen if filename encryption was chosen and metadata or alternate data streams were also added.
  • A similar bug could occur with Sz files. These could be empty if the source file was downloaded via FTP library 4 on Windows or 1 on Linux.

New in Syncovery 9.45e Build 335 (Jan 24, 2022)

  • Fixes a passive mode connection issue with FTP library #2 when connecting to an FTP server behind a NAT router.
  • Automatically chooses FTP library #2 if there are connection problems due to FileZilla FTP Server’s “TLS session of data connection has not resumed” error.

New in Syncovery 9.45d Build 334 (Jan 19, 2022)

  • When checking an individual file’s size and/or timestamp via FTP, Syncovery will no longer fall back to a regular (slow) FTP listing if an error occurs when trying SIZE/MLST/MDTM. Instead, the faster FTP commands are retried with reconnection attempts as necessary.
  • Syncovery will no longer try to adjust folder timestamps via FTP when connected to FileZilla Server (which doesn’t support it).
  • Fixes large uploads to Sharepoint/OneDrive failing if the authorization token has expired. Syncovery will refresh tokens as necessary, as with all other operations.

New in Syncovery 9.45c Build 333 (Jan 18, 2022)

  • Adds more detailed logging when copying a compressed package to the destination.

New in Syncovery 9.45b Build 332 (Jan 18, 2022)

  • First macOS release of Syncovery 9.4x with the new settings encryption features and updated TGPuttyLib and OpenSSL versions.
  • Fixes a bug where the copying rate calculation would stop and show the same rate for a longer time during the copying phase.
  • The “Check for update” feature will show detailed error message in the future, if the connection to the update server fails.

New in Syncovery 9.45a Build 331 (Jan 15, 2022)

  • Copying many small files between fast disks (such as local SDDs) is now around three times faster.
  • Uploading large files to OneDrive or Sharepoint now handles server errors better and will now always succeed and resume correctly.
  • Profiles using the “never-ending profile run” option no longer log out and back in to (S)FTP servers for the main thread. Since v9.39, Syncovery hadn’t keep the connection open, but now it does again.
  • Fixes possible delays after saving a profile.
  • The question whether to create the destination folder (if it doesn’t exist yet) can now be skipped.
  • SyncoveryCL.exe and SyncoveryService.exe will now correctly recognize if Syncovery.ini is in the same folder, i.e. in a portable folder on a flash drive, and read the license and profiles from that Syncovery.ini file.

New in Syncovery 9.44d Build 326 (Jan 10, 2022)

  • Fixes some dialog / button layout issues.
  • Fixes “ChkNm3” hangs, which could occur when Syncovery was analyzing an NTFS Reparse Point. The new version no longer tries to open unknown reparse point types.
  • Syncovery may have asked for an archive password when restoring, even though the password was saved in the profile. This has been fixed.
  • The error message “Cannot rename” is now more detailed (if it happens at all). It can occur when an INI file can’t be saved because other Syncovery processes are locking it.
  • Additional minor improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.44c Build 325 (Jan 7, 2022)

  • Adds a new checkmark on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet Cloud: Buffer Complete Parts When Uploading To S3. This may help increasing upload speeds, but uses more memory.
  • Optimized to work with FileZilla FTP Server – at least FTP libraries 2 and 3 should work.
  • FTP Library 2 now supports TLS 1.3 and TLS session resuming.
  • S3 protocol: fixes occasional bogus file verification errors (when using Binary Comparison of Existing Files) due to MD5 checksums that don’t match. The reason is that S3 doesn’t report MD5 checksums on large files that have been uploaded in multiple parts. Syncovery can only verify these files be downloading them.
  • The 32-bit Setup programs have been signed with our new code signing certificate, and Windows might not trust it yet – please override any warnings. If you want to help us get this new certificate be recognized by Microsoft’s SmartScreen, please download the 32-bit edition and override any warnings (you can cancel the installer once it shows up).

New in Syncovery 9.44b Build 324 (Jan 5, 2022)

  • Improves upload speed of large files to Amazon S3 by allowing each thread to open the source file independently, rather than having just one file handle whose usage is limited due to thread concurrency.
  • Continuous profiles (“never-ending profile run”) will no longer close and re-open the database on every run (if a database is used).
  • Free disk space checks can now be disabled entirely on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet “Memory”.
  • The Auto-Resume mode with temporary filenames can now be used when uploading to PCloud, because PCloud may put incomplete, interrupted uploads in your cloud storage. The temporary filenames will help prevent confusing incomplete files with real ones, and cause Syncovery to re-upload such files on the next profile run.
  • Binary comparison while building the file list now works with storages like PCloud, where the files’ modification timestamps are lost upon upload. Despite having a newer timestamp, Syncovery will do the Binary comparison if the profile’s copying direction is only “upload” and not two-way.
  • The TLS version selection on the Internet Protocol Settings dialog has been updated to allow only TLS v1.1+, 1.2+, and 1.3+. The GUI is slightly ahead of the actual implementation of most protocols here, because TLS 1.3 is not supported by most protocols yet. This will be added one by one in the near future.

New in Syncovery 9.44 Build 320 (Jan 2, 2022)

  • Now includes the SzArchiver tool to open Sz files.
  • The scheduler was optimized to handle many profiles and can now launch up to 8 profiles per second.
  • Fixes a problem with the “Flat Right Side” option where in unattended or scheduled runs, some files might be re-copied every time.
  • Fixes a leak where Sz files would sometimes contain the original file name in clear text even if filename encryption was used.
  • Additional optimizations and bug fixes.
  • Contains an updated FTP library #2 and also minor changes in FTP library #3.

New in Syncovery 9.43b Build 319 (Dec 27, 2021)

  • Fixes incorrect (S)FTP upload progress reporting when a transfer of a large file is interrupted and resumed more than once during a profile run.
  • Fixes various resuming bugs with uploads and downloads of FTP transfers.

New in Syncovery 9.43a Build 318 (Dec 24, 2021)

  • Adds a new PascalScriptHook called OnNormalizeFilename which can be used to normalize filenames before Syncovery compares them.
  • Fixes a problem where sometimes invalid timestamps were shown in the “Last Run” column.

New in Syncovery 9.43 Build 317 (Dec 20, 2021)

  • Completely rewritten Timezone Detection for FTP servers, without uploading any test files and taking almost no time. Optimized use of FTP commands such as MLST and MDTM. Only with FTP servers that do not support any of these commands, Syncovery will still use the old Timezone Detection (which is rare).
  • Syncovery no longer does any Timezone Detection for SFTP servers, because the SFTP protocol is supposed to be timezone independent and always use UTC times.
  • Fixes non-English characters such as Umlauts being lost in the registration name and Email sender, in versions 9.40-9.42.
  • Email sending with TLS and Backblaze B2 connection now work on Windows XP again.
  • Fixes some small temporary files like TGTEMP.$$$ not being cleaned up, when working with a Remote Listing via Internet Protocol.
  • Includes a compatibility fix with FileZilla FTP Server. When using FTP library 3 in Syncovery, an empty folder seletion box could be shown. An empty listing may also have been generated when running a profile, depending on the FTP Listing Command.
  • The OnIncludeItem PascalScript hook is now also called for real-time folders with changes.
  • Fixes Syncovery occasionally thinking the settings are read-only.
  • Improved tray icon for low resolution monitors.
  • Additional improvements and bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.42a Build 316 (Dec 20, 2021)

  • Fixes an IntOverflow error that occurred on one customer’s server when the scheduler tried to determine the next run time for a profile.

New in Syncovery 9.42 Build 315 (Dec 16, 2021)

  • Right-clicking on a profile group now shows group-specific menu items again (they were missing in v9.40/9.41).
  • Adds a checkmark and feature “Via Internet Protocols Too” under Files->More (scroll down), related to the feature “Check Destination File (Again) During Copying Phase”. This is especially useful when “And Compare File Details (Again)” is also checked. It avoids incorrect copying directions due to file changes between the folder scanning phase and the copying phase. Previously, this feature was implemented only for copying locally or via LAN (UNC Paths).
  • When using “a single, never-ending profile run”, previous copying results will now be replaced by “Nothing to do”, so that error messages don’t stay in the progress report for too long.
  • Adds the PascalScript function “FileExistsMatching” which allows you to check for a path with wildcards in the file name.
  • “Verify destination file size after transfer” will no longer throw an error if the uploaded file is already gone when the check is made. It will only check for incorrect sizes, and ignore if the file size cannot be detected. The reason is that many customers use Syncovery to move files to a server that immediately removes incoming files and sends them to further processing.
  • Fixes the settings encryption reappearing every time you open Syncovery if you choose to stick with legacy encryption.
  • Fixes garbled configuration entries when using the “Email” protocol as one side of the sync. These were caused by the new encryption method in v9.40.
  • Various additional improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.41b Build 313 (Dec 13, 2021)

  • Fixes an issue since v9.40 where the background scheduler would not automatically start with Windows on some systems – if an “Idle time after startup” was configured, and the scheduler was not installed as a service.

New in Syncovery 9.41a Build 312 (Dec 13, 2021)

  • Cloud tokens are now saved in Vault.ini.
  • Automatically fixes permission problems with ini files.
  • The new credentials encryption settings can now be accessed even if Syncovery was started with the /INI= command line parameter.
  • Additional improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.41 Build 311 (Dec 11, 2021)

  • To protect the integrity of Syncovery.ini, all transient data is now written to separate ini files. Syncovery.ini is now almost exclusively written to when the user changes settings.

New in Syncovery 9.40 Build 310 (Dec 10, 2021)

  • Syncovery 9.40 now supports a safer way to store your passwords. Credentials can now be encrypted in a way that is tied to your machine, or your user account only (on this machine), or you can protect them with a password. If your settings file is copied to another machine, passwords cannot be decrypted there, so that a potential thief does not get access to your credentials and cloud accounts.

New in Syncovery 9.39v Build 281 (Dec 2, 2021)

  • Adds additional Wasabi endpoint regions.
  • Allows to specify a default S3 region via a line in Syncovery.ini, such as: AWSDefaultRegion=eu-west-1
  • When downloading via Internet Protocol, Syncovery used to un-hide hidden folders. This has been fixed.

New in Syncovery 9.39u Build 280 (Nov 30, 2021)

  • Fixes a GUI bug in 9.39t where collapsed profile groups wouldn’t stay collapsed.

New in Syncovery 9.39t Build 279 (Nov 28, 2021)

  • It is now possible to make new connections with Google Cloud Storage again, after the previous Syncovery version had reached a user limit.
  • Possible Google Cloud Storage upload/download bug fix.

New in Syncovery 9.39q Build 276 (Nov 21, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where Exact Mirror profiles using Folder Masks would try to delete folders from the destination that don’t match the folder masks, if they don’t exist on the source side. These deletions would have normally failed, because the folders were not empty, but it’s cleaner to not try to delete them.
  • •Adds additional capablities to Execute before/after; you can now specify the timeout in seconds and specify whether to continue anyway, if the command times out.

New in Syncovery 9.40 Build 301 Beta (Nov 18, 2021)

  • Syncovery 9.40 now supports a safer way to store your passwords. Credentials can now be encrypted in a way that is tied to your machine, or your user account only (on this machine), or you can protect them with a password. If your settings file is copied to another machine, passwords cannot be decrypted there, so that a potential thief does not get access to your credentials and cloud accounts.

New in Syncovery 9.39p Build 275 (Nov 14, 2021)

  • Default requirements for free memory (RAM) have been halved once more, so that only 1 GB of free RAM is expected when running a profile on a machine that has 16GB of RAM. On 8 GB, only 512MB are expected.
  • Stops trying to delete old timezone check files if the deletion fails. Timezone deletion file clean-up can be disabled with NoTimezoneCheckCheckFileDeletions=1 in Syncovery.ini.
  • A bug has been fixed when importig profiles or creating profiles via command line, where the order of the parameters sometimes made a difference (but should not).
  • Additional internal improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.39o Build 274 (Nov 9, 2021)

  • Contains an updated TGPuttyLib with a final upload progress and buffering fix.

New in Syncovery 9.39m Build 272 (Nov 4, 2021)

  • Fixes a bug in the TGPuttyLib SFTP Implementation that could cause incorrect transfer rates and timeout errors on large files due to excessive buffering.
  • The free system memory requirements introduced in v9.39j can now be configured on the “Memory” tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog, and the default values have been halved.
  • No longer uses a default maximum memory usage of 8 GB per process, and the AbsMaxMemoryMB setting in Syncovery.ini is now ignored.
  • When using the checkmark “Skip Files Whose Size Is Changing”, Syncovery can now silently skip the files without an error in the profile results. To use this feature, choose “Ignore These Errors:” – “Access Denied Reading Files” on the File Access tab sheet in the profile.
  • Fixes a problem where sometimes one version of files too many is preserved when using the Sz compression format.
  • Avoids saving excessive logs in case of some types of failures or hangs.

New in Syncovery 9.39k Build 271 (Nov 2, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where longer running jobs that download from DropBox failed to refresh the authorization tokens.

New in Syncovery 9.39j Build 269 (Oct 28, 2021)

  • Adds several precautionary measures to prevent jobs from running when system memory is scarce, or there is hardly any disk space for the profile’s database.
  • Prevents filling the log folder or C drive with “Syncovery Run Reports”.

New in Syncovery 9.39i Build 268 (Oct 24, 2021)

  • Adds checkmark “Skip Files Whose Size Is Changing” under Files->More (scroll down to the end of the tab sheet).
  • Adds CRC32 functions to PascalScript and a sample script to shorten long file names.

New in Syncovery 9.39h Build 267 (Oct 20, 2021)

  • Improves detection of completed profiles in order to avoid the message “Not starting job because …”.

New in Syncovery 9.39g Build 266 (Oct 19, 2021)

  • Fixes CPU usage and too short delays when using jobs with “never-ending profile runs”.
  • Will now split jobs based on memory usage in addition to the number of entries, rather than stopping a job if the max. memory usage is exceeded.
  • It is now possible to compare filenames with different extensions and only mirror moves and deletions

New in Syncovery 9.39f Build 263 (Oct 8, 2021)

  • Adds a new checkmark on the Move Settings dialog (for the Move Files to Destination mode): Delete Files from the Source Side Which Are Excluded By Masks (if they prevent removal of folders from the source side).
  • Now allows 0 seconds minimum pause between continuous profile runs.
  • Fixes an error message in the web GUI preventing editing of profiles.

New in Syncovery 8.69f Build 399 (Oct 8, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where new cloud connections could not be made due to an SSL certificate expiration. Also fixed checking for updates due to the same issue.

New in Syncovery 9.39e Build 261 (Oct 6, 2021)

  • When “Cache Destination File List” is used, and a file that should be moved no longer exists, Syncovery now updates the cache database – so that is won’t attempted to move the file again the next time the job runs.
  • Progress reporting fixes for compressed package copying.
  • Avoids useless retries when copying an Sz package to cloud servers fails because source files have changed during the process.

New in Syncovery 9.39d Build 260 (Oct 5, 2021)

  • Adds the PascalScript function SaveProfileSettings.
  • Allows random subfolder remapping, i.e. the subfolder structure on the two sides can be completely different. The mapping must be provided in form of a mapping file (csv). Details are available on request.
  • Stops trying to copy Alternate Data Streams if the destination system doesn’t support them (such as exFAT).

New in Syncovery 9.39c Build 259 (Oct 3, 2021)

  • Adds an option to specify the maximum number of files to delete under Safety->Unattended in each profile. This number will default to 1,000 for new profiles and to 10,000 for existing profiles. If there are more files to delete, the deletions will be disabled.
  • Adds a new setting to the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet Misc: “Protect incompletely copied files – even if resuming fails, never restart from 0 or delete the incomplete file”. This option will also cause all profiles to use “Automatically resume (copy with temporay filenames, keep incomplete files when stopped).
  • Adds new settings to the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet Advanced: “Lifespan of a profil execution process” and “Flush file buffers during copy”.
  • Contains a new ETA algorithm.
  • Resuming improvements, will now less readily delete incomplete files if resuming fails.
  • Fixes the S3 option “make files publicly available” becoming unchecked when going back into the dialog.
  • Fixes the AWS V4 Signature problem in 9.39b
  • Fixes progress reporting sometimes missing (and the job appearing to hang) when uploading a compressed package (with multiple files per archive).
  • Fixes a possible freeze when right clicking on a profile that uses volume labels in paths.
  • Additional fixes and improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.39b Build 258 (Sep 26, 2021)

  • The OpenSSL libraries have been updated to v1.1.1l.
  • The default FTP library #3 now finally uses OpenSSL v1.1.1 too.
  • When threads are terminated due to apparent hangs or timeouts, the incident is now logged to TerminatedThreads.log in the same folder as Syncovery.ini.
  • The scheduler now maintains a list of profiles that it runs in the main process, rather than additional profile runner processes. The list is saved to the file JobsRunInMainProcess.txt in the same folder as Syncovery.ini.
  • When getting a drive’s volume label has caused a hang in the past, it won’t be retried for two days, and a cached result from the last successful volume label check is used instead.
  • Fixes two quite insignificant memory leaks.

New in Syncovery 9.39a Build 257 (Sep 23, 2021)

  • Fixes a rare hang when working with cloud protocols.
  • Additional smaller fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.39 Build 253 (Sep 15, 2021)

  • Syncovery can now remember when a file was deleted. You can restore to a specific time and date in the past and get only the files which were not deleted at that time. Version 9.39 adds a checkmark “Remember deletion time and date” to the tab sheet Files->Deletions in each profile. This option should be used with “Move Deleted Files Into A Specific Folder…” but it can also remember the deletion date if deleted files are preserved in the “Older” folder specified on the Versioning tab sheet.
  • The checkmark “Restore deleted items” from the General Filters tab sheet will now retrieve deleted files from both “Older” folders as well as “folders for deleted files”.
  • The checkmark “Restore deleted items” has also been added to the Restore Wizard, but it will only be shown if the Restore is based on an existing profile that uses versioning or a folder for deleted files.
  • An inconsistent mix of 8-bit encodings (such as UTF-8 and Ansi) on (S)FTP servers and others can now be handled better, as well as an incorrect characters set choice on the Internet Protocol Settings dialog, tab sheet “Advanced”. However, support for deviating encodings is not 100% complete and only basic operations like listing, uploading, downloading, and deleting will work.
  • Additional smaller improvements, such as a corrected tab order of controls on the FTP dialog.

New in Syncovery 9.39 Build 251 RC 1 (Sep 7, 2021)

  • Syncovery can now remember when a file was deleted. You can restore to a specific time and date in the past and get only the files which were not deleted at that time. Version 9.39 adds a checkmark “Remember deletion time and date” to the tab sheet Files->Deletions in each profile. This option should be used with “Move Deleted Files Into A Specific Folder…” but it can also remember the deletion date if deleted files are preserved in the “Older” folder specified on the Versioning tab sheet.
  • The checkmark “Restore deleted items” from the General Filters tab sheet will now retrieve deleted files from both “Older” folders as well as “folders for deleted files”.
  • The checkmark “Restore deleted items” has also been added to the Restore Wizard, but it will only be shown if the Restore is based on an existing profile that uses versioning or a folder for deleted files.
  • An inconsistent mix of 8-bit encodings (such as UTF-8 and Ansi) on (S)FTP servers and others can now be handled better, as well as an incorrect characters set choice on the Internet Protocol Settings dialog, tab sheet “Advanced”. However, support for deviating encodings is not 100% complete and only basic operations like listing, uploading, downloading, and deleting will work.
  • Additional smaller improvements, such as a corrected tab order of controls on the FTP dialog.

New in Syncovery 9.38k Build 245 (Aug 30, 2021)

  • Binary Comparison now counts empty files as successful rather than skipped.
  • Fixes UI glitches
  • Minor logging improvements
  • No longer shows the combined final result of multiple passes as INCOMPLETE if a re-run was able to copy all files.
  • Fixes a Forbidden error uploading to WORM S3 buckets.
  • Fix a possible hang compressing json files.
  • Additional miscellaneous improvements and fixes.

New in Syncovery 8.69e Build 397 (Aug 27, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where only 500 changes were downloaded from Box every time the profile runs. This could cause new files and folders not to be detected unless the profile runs frequently enough.

New in Syncovery 9.38j Build 243 (Aug 27, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where only 500 changes were downloaded from Box every time the profile runs. This could cause new files and folders not to be detected unless the profile runs frequently enough.

New in Syncovery 9.38i Build 242 (Aug 24, 2021)

  • Updated TGPuttyLib based on PuTTY v0.76
  • Updated Mega SDK
  • Slightly less restrictive “never deletes all files” policy
  • Allows up to one day of difference again when comparing old FTP timestamps that do not have a time of day, and when the file size is identical (can occur due to time zone and FTP listing format)
  • Allows S3 to be used with credentials none / none for public buckets

New in Syncovery 8.69d Build 396 (Aug 24, 2021)

  • Fixes the scheduler not starting in v8.69c.

New in Syncovery 9.38h Build 240 (Aug 23, 2021)

  • The Graph protocol can now be used with sharepoint.de sites that have been migrated away from the old German Microsoft cloud.

New in Syncovery 8.69c Build 395 (Aug 19, 2021)

  • Adds support for DropBox short-lived tokens and refresh tokens.
  • Minor fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.38g Build 239 (Aug 17, 2021)

  • Improved and more detailed recommendation dialog for filename encoding with S3 storages.
  • Adds a help button and a detailed choice dialog to help the user choose between Background Scheduler and Service Scheduler.
  • Can now correctly tell the difference between 00:00 and a missing time of day in FTP listings.
  • Adds a Secure Transfer checkmark on the first tab sheet of the FTP dialog, which is now checked by default. It basically duplicates the security setting from the Security tab sheet.
  • Adds support for DropBox refresh tokens.
  • Fixes an issue with subfolder selections.
  • Web GUI: fixes the folder selection button on the Internet dialog for Backblaze B2.
  • No longer warns for overdue jobs that are disabled.
  • Printing improvements for the Sync Preview (Windows only).
  • Mirroring folder timestamps is now on by default.
  • Adds Storj to the list of compatible S3 providers.
  • Additional minor improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.38f Build 237 (Aug 1, 2021)

  • When using DropBox without the “Changes Based Listing”, you can now enable “Cache Destination File List” on the Special tab sheet instead of the usual changes based cloud cache.
  • Fixes an extremely rare hang during file list building.

New in Syncovery 9.38e Build 235 (Jul 26, 2021)

  • Fixes downloading from Box cloud, which was broken due to a change on the Box servers.
  • Fixes a situation where interrupted SFTP uploads with TGPuttyLib caused complete re-uploading rather than resuming.

New in Syncovery 9.38d Build 234 (Jul 12, 2021)

  • The Windows version no longer complains about unrecognized fields when importing a profile from a csv file from the Linux version.
  • Additional cloud listing improvements relevant only in some very specific cases.

New in Syncovery 9.38c Build 233 (Jul 11, 2021)

  • Fixes a cloud listing problem, which affected only profiles that sync against the root folder of a cloud drive, when using the changes-based listing method. Some folders and files may have appeared as bogus duplicates in the root, in addition to their actual location further down the hierarchy. The update automatically cleans these incorrect items from the cloud cache database.

New in Syncovery 9.38a Build 231 (Jul 6, 2021)

  • Extends the new checkmark “Upload Only – Don’t Get Updated Listing From Cloud Server (Beta)” to Sharepoint, OneDrive, and Graph.
  • When the integrated User Management is used with groups, a user will now inherit individual profile rights from groups in addition to the general permissions.

New in Syncovery 9.38 Build 230 (Jul 4, 2021)

  • Adds a way to avoid lengthy “Getting History” for Google Drive for upload-only profiles. Please see the new checkmark on the Advanced tab sheet of the Internet dialog: “Upload Only – Don’t Get Updated Listing From Cloud Server (Beta)”. This checkmark requires the Changes Based Listing checkmark to be chosen also.
  • Fixes a few cases where “Remember Results” of Binary Comparison did not work.
  • Adds an option to include unscheduled jobs in the Daily Summary emails.
  • Fixes a problem where a network connection configured on the Job tab sheet was not re-tried after an intial failure, even though the job is set to re-run after a number of seconds.
  • Adds ability to replace/update Azure BLOBs which are archived.
  • Adds checkmark to rehydrate archived Azure BLOBs where necessary (i.e. before download). The profile will finish with “rehydration pending” errors and needs to be re-run again after 24 hours to actually download the rehydrated files.

New in Syncovery 9.37b Build 228 (Jun 29, 2021)

  • The new feature in 9.37 enabling Syncovery to remove empty folders via Internet Protocols even if they still contained metadata files and other useless files like Thumbs.db had a bug where other (potentially useful) files could be deleted too, if Syncovery thought the folder is empty. This has been fixed and only files known to be metadata or temporary files are now deleted.
  • Now uses the Glossy theme instead of Glow by default in Dark Mode in Windows 10.

New in Syncovery 9.37a Build 227 (Jun 27, 2021)

  • Prevents files uploaded to Sharepoint from having two versions and using twice the size in cloud space. Sharepoint will still create two versions, but Syncovery then deletes the older one. Uploaded files will therefore have the initial version labeled “2.0”.
  • Adds the utility functions ConnDeleteFiles and ConnDeleteFilesOlderThan to PascalScript.

New in Syncovery 9.37 Build 225 (Jun 24, 2021)

  • Should fix a problem where Ransomware protection kicked in when real-time had to copy only a few files (Too many replacements error).
  • If chosen under “Security and Shares”->”Advanced” and/or “Alternate Data Streams”, Syncovery will upload .metadata-syncovery files to Amazon S3 for folders in cases where this previously wasn’t done (because empty folders aren’t supported for S3). Using the metadata files, empty folders can now be simulated.
  • Fixes Google Drive to Google Drive copying problems with native Google Documents (an Office filename extension was added even though the document type was kept as native Google Docs). To keep native docs native, use the same Google account on both sides. That way, the copying will be done within the Google servers and the files won’t be downloaded and reuploaded.
  • The PascalScript ConcatPath functions now also resolve and clean up double dots in paths, as in C:TestsSubOne..SubTwo.

New in Syncovery 9.36d Build 221 (Jun 19, 2021)

  • Adds a checkmark on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet “Logs”, at the bottom: “Transfer Details” (especially for large files and resuming).
  • Many improvements in resuming broken transfers, and related logging, ensuring that incomplete copies are not deleted unless absolutely necessary.
  • You can add NeverLoseResumes=1 to the [Main] section of Syncovery.ini, which causes Syncovery to really never delete any partial file, and never restart a transfer from the beginning. However, this can cause some legitimate situations to result in errors, for example if an incomplete copy needs to be deleted because there’s a new file version to replace it (a resume is not possible because it’s a new file).
  • Now supports flushing file buffers when copying locally or in the LAN/VPN. You can activate this feature by adding FlushFileBuffersAfterMBs=100 or FlushFileBuffersAfterSeconds=5 to Syncovery.ini.
  • Fixes real-time sync not working in combination with “Use a single never-ending profile run”.

New in Syncovery 9.36c Build 220 (Jun 16, 2021)

  • Includes subfolder selection fixes if the base folder is just a computername without a network share name (such as \MYSERVER).
  • Fixes the ActionsCSVLogFile feature which has been broken in a few previous releases.
  • Minor improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.36b Build 219 (Jun 12, 2021)

  • Putty and SecureBlackBox fingerprints are now stored in the same way so the same fingerprint is accepted after switching the SFTP Implementation.
  • Adds new PascalScript utility functions: GetProfileProperty, SetProfileProperty, CreateS3Connector, UploadFile, CloseConnector, AtomicAppendTextFileLine.

New in Syncovery 9.36a Build 218 (Jun 10, 2021)

  • Adds more Wasabi storage datacenter regions.
  • Implements the “Allow IPV6” checkbox for TGPuttyLib (previously, IPV6 was always allowed).
  • Fixes a rare hang copying alternate data streams.
  • SSH fingerprint verification and prompts are now implemented for TGPuttyLib. To avoid problems, unknown SSH keys will be automatically accepted and remembered for ten days after installing the Syncovery update.
  • Small logging improvements with File Security Details.
  • Uses a lighter color for files being copied right to left in Dark Mode.

New in Syncovery 9.36 Build 215 (Jun 3, 2021)

  • Allows up to 12 files being uploaded in parallel to Sharepoint and OneDrive.
  • Adds a new checkbox to the Performance tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog: “Remove default threading limits and other program limits”.
  • On Backblaze B2, fixes renaming or moving multiple files simultaneously if each is over 5GB.
  • Fixes an MD5 mismatch error for Amazon S3 uploads with server side encryption.
  • Monitoring tool stability improvements and dark mode UI fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.35e Build 210 (May 31, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where SmartTracking would re-created deleted folders, if trying to delete them on the other side has failed.
  • When resuming uploads via Internet Protocols, Syncovery will now drop back in the file a little to prevent possible corruption of blocks at the position around the end of the previously interrupted upload.
  • Fixes an error parsing PCloud listings when RAW photos are on PCloud.
  • Fixes two rare crashes.
  • Getting volume information is now done with a timeout to avoid rare hangs with network drivs.
  • If the destination path contains a variable, Syncovery will now update its modification timestamp when the job is run.
  • Resuming via FTP protocol no longer uses the APPEnd command.

New in Syncovery 9.35d Build 209 (May 26, 2021)

  • Fixes a possible cause for Syncovery not seeing files and folders with unusual attributes (mostly on exFAT drives).
  • Now warns if a removeable drive is chosen via the Device button and the volume label is not unique. Syncovery needs the volume label to identify the drive.
  • Rather than just “FAILED PATHS”, Syncovery now reports the number of “inaccessible subfolders”.

New in Syncovery 9.35c Build 207 (May 17, 2021)

  • Additional bug fixes concerning the clean-up of older .partxxxx files
  • Fixes inability to recognize incomplete part chains when uploading to OneDrive or Sharepoint
  • Move Files Mode no longer uses the recycle bin by default
  • Adds “Forget Cloud Access Tokens” and “Reset Known SSH/SSL Servers” to the web GUI

New in Syncovery 9.35b Build 206 (May 8, 2021)

  • Implements a missing functionality where older .partxxxx files were not deleted from the destination when a newer version of a file was uploaded with these settings: Compress Individually, and part plitting on the Internet dialog.
  • Fixes a rare error when renaming / moving files over 5GB on Backblaze B2.
  • Fixes inability to make authorize new connections with the old German Microsoft cloud (which is being phased out this year).
  • Adds these PascalScript functions: Utf8Encode, Utf8Decode, UnicodeStringMD5Hex, EightBitStringMD5Hex, UnicodeStringMD5Base64, EightBitStringMD5Base64.

New in Syncovery 9.35a Build 204 (May 3, 2021)

  • macOS only: adds a button “Import Config Lines” to the Prefs tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog. It can be used to import the central monitoring configuration and other global settings for which no GUI elements exist.
  • Fixes downloading from a cloud protocol directly to an SSH or FTP server.

New in Syncovery 9.35 Build 203 (Apr 26, 2021)

  • Adds a new Proxy setting for most cloud storages: “Use Windows Settings”. This will use the WinINet API rather than OpenSSL.
  • Fixes a bug when using compression when copying locked files, and the setting “Volume Shadowing: use for locked files”. The locked files would actually not be retried after the volume shadow was created.
  • Fixes possible errors when using the Sz format with higher encryption levels.

New in Syncovery 9.33d Build 189 (Apr 1, 2021)

  • Fixes a potential threading issue that may have caused a rare instability or lock-up, on Windows only, when multiple profiles with UNC paths ran simultaneously, and in the same process.

New in Syncovery 9.33a Build 185 (Mar 30, 2021)

  • Includes improvements from today’s macOS and Linux updates.

New in Syncovery 9.33 Build 184 (Mar 28, 2021)

  • Adds a list of S3-compatible storage providers to choose from, on the Internet Protocol Settings dialog. Includes compatibility fixes for Linode Object Storage.
  • Fixes the scheduler sometimes starting profiles immediately, when it is started, rather than using the scheduled interval.
  • Fixes a few somewhat rare issues with history-based cloud listings.

New in Syncovery 9.32d Build 182 (Mar 26, 2021)

  • Adds support for many new Amazon S3 regions, including South Africa, Middle East, and others.
  • Adds a new “Syncovery Short” filename encoding method, which you can choose under Versioning->More.
  • Reverts SSL Package Size increase tested in 9.32c for Azure and WebDAV.

New in Syncovery 9.32c Build 180 (Mar 26, 2021)

New in Syncovery 9.32b Build 176 (Mar 23, 2021)

  • Fixes errors restoring Synthetic Backup files which could occur if newer versions of the file were smaller than older ones.
  • Includes TGPuttyLib build 13, which fixes occasional/rare crashes.

New in Syncovery 9.32a Build 176 (Mar 19, 2021)

  • Fixes minimizing bugs when using color themes with separate dialogs (rather than “Run Profiles in Main Window”)
  • Fixes no text being visible in the status bar when colored themes are used
  • Updates FTP library 2 with possible bug fixes
  • Fixes error handling when files could not be downloaded from DropBox because of “restricted_content”
  • Adds an additional SSL certificate from Microsoft, used with Microsoft Azure BLOB storage. If the Azure certificate cannot be verified, the user can now accept the certificate manually
  • OnMoveFileToDeletedFolder returning false will no longer be considered an error and not cause any retries
  • Additional fixes

New in Syncovery 9.32 Build 174 (Mar 14, 2021)

  • Now completely compatible with storadera.com, an Amazon S3-compatible storage service

  • Fixes more uploading issues and folder deletion with Mediafire
  • Fixes a bogus “CreateFile” error when Syncovery tried to copy to a folder before actually creating it
  • Additional fixes

New in Syncovery 9.31b Build 173 (Mar 6, 2021)

  • Fixes various issues with Mediafire.
  • Always uses Signature V4 with storadera.com.
  • AWSAlwaysUseSignatureV4=1 now works with non-AWS sites.
  • Additional fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.31a Build 171 (Feb 25, 2021)

  • Fixes an occasional error message with Google Drive (“Workdata empty”).
  • Additional fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.31 Build 170 (Feb 19, 2021)

  • Can now import .dat files containing profiles from another backup tool.
  • The Multi Edit Tool can now set scheduling based on intervals.
  • “Run Profiles in Main Window” is now the default for new installations.

New in Syncovery 9.30c Build 166 (Feb 17, 2021)

  • Fixes extremely rare hangs on the Windows version.
  • Fixes extremely rare Arithmetic Overflow errors on the Mac version.

New in Syncovery 9.30b Build 164 (Feb 14, 2021)

  • Fixes a bogus “incomplete” error uploading to DropBox, caused by incorrect counting of batch committed files.
  • Can now delete empty folders that still contain a .metadata-syncovery file.
  • Connection to Azure BLOB Storage now works with an HTTP Proxy.
  • Copying rate display fluctuates less.

New in Syncovery 9.30a Build 161 (Feb 11, 2021)

  • Fixes one more B2 multithreaded upload progress reporting bug.

New in Syncovery 9.30 Build 157 RC 2 (Feb 11, 2021)

  • Syncovery 9.30 contains a new speed limit algorithm that should more accurately produce the desired rate, and fixes some bugs. The speed limit is now compatible with multi-threaded large file uploads to Backblaze B2 and Amazon S3 (previously, large files were uploaded in a single thread when a speed limit was used).
  • Includes an updated OpenSSL version, which fixes occasional connection and transfer failures.

New in Syncovery 9.30 Build 156 RC1 (Feb 8, 2021)

  • Syncovery 9.30 contains a new speed limit algorithm that should more accurately produce the desired rate, and fixes some bugs.
  • Adds the ability to turn Recycle Bin usage on or off in many profiles at once, using the Multi Edit Tool.
  • Detect renamed files now works in profiles that are not configured to detect deletions, i.e. in Standard Copying too.
  • Standard copying can now recurse into destination folders even if they don’t exist on the source side – see the new checkmark on the “Folders” tab sheet, which you will find only if you scroll it down – it’s checked by default on new profiles, but not checked on existing ones.
  • The Backblaze B2 b2_hide_file function now works with profiles that use the Destination File List Cache.
  • Fixes a problem where individual folders would not be read from Backblaze B2 correctly, when using the Destination File List Cache with the option to double-check individual folders.
  • Reduces minimum file size for block level copying from 64 kB to 2 kB (you can now change this on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet “Types, Limits”.

New in Syncovery 9.29f Build 152 (Feb 1, 2021)

  • Small DropBox relates fix where the log file could sometimes mention an error creating a folder although there was no error
  • Synthetic Backup with Sz format now works when copying from an Internet Protocol
  • Fixes error handling when trying to restore alternate data streams to file systems that do not support them (such as exFAT)
  • Some corrections in the statistics verification feature

New in Syncovery 9.29e Build 151 (Jan 29, 2021)

  • Additional DropBox upload improvements, especially concerning the handling of internal server errors. It includes smart retrying and falling back to individual file commits rather than batch commits in case of server errors, avoiding the need to re-upload any files that could not be committed on the first attempt.

New in Syncovery 9.29d Build 149 (Jan 28, 2021)

  • Fixes an Invalid Pointer Operation error at the end of profile runs that copy Zip Packages when run in attended or unattended mode.
  • Increases the number of Dropbox upload retries after a batch commit fails.

New in Syncovery 9.29c Build 148 (Jan 27, 2021)

  • Fixes a bug in 9.29b where Syncovery would loop trying to delete split zip parts from Amazon S3 although these files don’t exist.

New in Syncovery 9.29b Build 147 (Jan 27, 2021)

  • DropBox batch related fixes esp. with filename encryption, zip parts, split parts, and uploading new files to a folder that has been renamed in the same run.
  • Improved handling of split zip files in some cases.
  • Now tries to do a simple, direct API copying of a file if getting its status (reading its attributes) fails.
  • The installer should now run on older Windows versions again (maybe even on Server 2003).

New in Syncovery 9.29a Build 146 (Jan 25, 2021)

  • Progress reporting improvements with DropBox batch uploads.
  • Fixes an error message in v9.29 that prevented the user from using the Browse button to choose a folder in a download-only profile when using an Internet protocol.

New in Syncovery 9.29 Build 145 (Jan 23, 2021)

  • Improved speed for the “Find Renamed Files” step.
  • Reinstates functionality of the “Different Delay for Older Versions” on the Exact Mirror Settings dialog box. This feature didn’t actually have any effect in recent Syncovery versions.
  • Implements re-uploading of files to DropBox if committing the batch fails.

New in Syncovery 9.28e Build 144 (Jan 22, 2021)

  • Improved speed for the “Find Renamed Files” step.
  • Implements renaming or moving of files on B2 which are larger than 5GB.
  • Now uses the b2_hide_file function to delete files, rather than actually deleting them, if “Use Recycle Bin” is checked in the profile.

New in Syncovery 9.28d Build 143 (Jan 21, 2021)

  • Additional DropBox improvements and fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.28c Build 142 (Jan 20, 2021)

  • Fixes MIME types on Backblaze B2 uploads.

New in Syncovery 9.28b Build 141 (Jan 20, 2021)

  • Numerous DropBox improvements, including batch folder creations and deletions. Folder renames and moves are now done with a single HTTP request. File renames and moves are still relatively slow, but done in a single thread only so they won’t delay uploads in additional threads.
  • The number of files copied in parallel can now be set up to 20 for DropBox and Rackspace.
  • Backblaze B2 renames and moves can now be done without re-uploading files.
  • The Sz format now stores (and restores) Windows file attributes (the simple file attribute DWORD).
  • Additional optimizations, bug fixes, and improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.28a Build 140 (Jan 14, 2021)

  • Fixes a problem where Syncovery would sometimes reset various global program settings to 0 or 1, causing slow copying and no logging. This happened mostly on new installations but some customers saw it on upgraded installations too. The affected Syncovery versions were v9.25a thru v9.28.

New in Syncovery 9.28 Build 139 (Jan 12, 2021)

  • Implemented batch uploads to DropBox, greatly increasing upload speed when uploading many smaller files, and reducing HTTP errors and the necessity for retries.
  • Bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.27a Build 137 (Jan 6, 2021)

  • Fixes a status dialog window (“Cleaning up log files”) sometimes staying open even though everything is done.
  • Fixes a SmartTracking problem where deleted files were sometimes not detected when syncing with Sharepoint sites. The cause was that Sharepoint servers sometimes add metadata to uploaded Office documents, and these size changes could cause Syncovery to tag the online file as modified, which takes precedence over the deletion on the other side.

New in Syncovery 9.27 Build 136 (Jan 5, 2021)

  • Now supports uploading to Amazon S3 buckets with automatic object locking.
  • Reinstates font colors in the Sync Preview, which had been just black or white since Dark Mode was added.
  • Updated cacert.pem certificates list.

New in Syncovery 9.26e Build 133 (Dec 30, 2020)

  • Fixes a problem caused by recent optimizations that could cause Syncovery to not create a destination folder before trying to zip a file individually and directly to destination into that folder, causing a zipping error.

New in Syncovery 9.26d Build 132 (Dec 30, 2020)

  • Fixes a problem where inefficient progress reporting could sometimes cause low copying speed.
  • Now tolerates cloud JSON listings with incorrect UTF-8 encodings (which is extremely rare).
  • Improves speed of checking for duplicate files, which is done when listing most cloud service folders.

New in Syncovery 9.26b Build 128 (Dec 23, 2020)

  • Improved transfer speed and reliability for DropBox and Mega.
  • Fixed background progress reporting from multiple jobs running in parallel, especially if they were all started in background with preview.
  • Fixed display on older Windows versions with theming disabled.

New in Syncovery 9.26a Build 127 (Dec 22, 2020)

  • It is now possible to make new connections with Google Cloud Storage again, after the previous Syncovery version had reached a user limit.
  • Fixes a compatibility issue of real-time polling of cloud folders and the setting “Minimum pause between actions”.

New in Syncovery 9.26 Build 126 (Dec 22, 2020)

  • Adds complete support for Dark Mode. Colors and various new dark and light themes can be chosen by clicking on the Gears toolbar button and choosing “Themes and Colors…”

New in Syncovery 9.25d Build 124 (Dec 18, 2020)

  • Fixes the “Run Attended” button on the Overdue Profiles dialog, which actually ran all profiles unattended rather than selected ones attended.
  • Fixes real-time uploads to DropBox sometimes ignoring the profile’s base folder and using the DropBox root as base folder instead.
  • Fixes unzipping of multi-part zip files, which could error out if there were additional, older (orphaned) zip parts from older versions of the file.
  • Optimized the handling of a “folder for deleted files” with cloud storage by not double-checking and re-reading the folder from the cloud server for each file that is to be moved into it.

New in Syncovery 9.25c Build 123 (Dec 17, 2020)

  • Fixes email notifications not being sent if there were re-runs due to errors (such as a base path not available).

New in Syncovery 9.25a Build 121 (Dec 16, 2020)

  • Fixes a v9.25 bug that could prevent the scheduler from starting when installed as a service.

New in Syncovery 9.25 Build 120 (Dec 16, 2020)

  • Some work in preparation for Dark Mode has been made; separate color sets for light and dark mode can be chosen.
  • MEGA SDK updated and made more stable.
  • Fixed a rare DB update error.
  • Now processes file listings from cloud services even if incorrect UTF-8 byte sequences are found.
  • Fixed filenames from WebDAV sometimes not being decoded (and containing %20 instead of spaces).
  • Fixed clean-up of unneeded synthetic backup files sometimes not working.
  • Contains a bug fix restoring split zip files.
  • Additional improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.23 Build 117 (Dec 4, 2020)

  • The SmartTracking and cache databases can now hold paths up to 30,000 UTF-8 bytes long.
  • Fixes polling of cloud servers (for two-way real-time syncs), which did not seem to detect changes in subfolders and did not work on Mac.
  • Additional smaller fixes, including those from the Linux version 9.23.

New in Syncovery 9.22 Build 115 (Nov 26, 2020)

  • Implements retries for failed E-mail notification sending.
  • Automatically tries different SMTP ports and TLS settings if a notification can’t be sent.
  • Fixes a database error being shown a job’s final result summary caused by a path that is too long for the database. This error will still be logged, but not as the final result summary.
  • Additional smaller fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.21 Build 114 (Nov 22, 2020)

  • Adds support for Azure Shared Access Signatures (SAS URIs).
  • Adds the /CSVLOG=xxx command line parameter, which will log all copying, deleting and other actions to a CSV file. This can also be chosen by a Syncovery.ini line such as ActionsCSVLogFile=C:TestsActions-$PROFILENAME.csv.

New in Syncovery 9.20b Build 113 (Nov 20, 2020)

  • Improved speed limit (bandwidth limit) precision.

New in Syncovery 9.20a Build 112 (Nov 19, 2020)

  • When the user clicks “Skip” while a cloud changes history is downloaded, the profile can now also be canceled.
  • Fixes problems with changes based cloud listings (esp. Google Drive) that could occur if a folder had been renamed and a file added to it during the same job run.

New in Syncovery 9.20 Build 111 (Nov 15, 2020)

  • Now supports synchronizing folder timestamps in two-way profiles.
  • Also now supports synchronizing NTFS permissions in two-way profiles. To enable this, please see at the bottom of the Advanced tab sheet of the Security and Shares dialog.
  • The Security and Share dialog has been redesigned, with new two-way sync related settings on the Advanced tab sheet.
  • A new checkmark for permissions: “Compare permissions of existing items only if recently accessed”. This should speed up the scanning/comparison phase without missing any changes in NTFS security setting.
  • The Syncovery Remote Service has been updated to also support this new checkmark and include only the NTFS security info for recent items in the listing.
  • The new feature “Copy Pinned Files Only” can now be chosen separately for the left and right sides.
  • Better handling of HTTP error 416 when uploading to Box (which can sometimes occur if a chunk is re-uploaded after a timeout or server error).
  • Improved TGPuttyLib and compatibility with the Sz format in conjunction with “Verify copied files”.
  • When copying from an Internet Protocol to another Internet Protocol and using the Sz format for compression and/or encryption, previous versions would actually do the Sz processing twice (once during download and then again during upload), resulting in a redundantly double-Sz’ed file. This has been fixed.
  • The new version can now correctly unpack/restore such redundant double-Sz’ed files.

New in Syncovery 9.19 Build 107 (Nov 4, 2020)

  • Adds two new settings to the “General Filters” tab sheet, which are mostly relevant when copying the local OneDrive folder: “Skip Offline Files” and “Copy Pinned Files Only”. Pinned files are those with the checkmark “Always keep on this device” in Windows Explorer.
  • Adds the FileCopy function to the PascalScript language.

New in Syncovery 9.18f Build 105 (Nov 3, 2020)

  • Improves Sharepoint/Graph library selection dialog, which is more complete now, and works with some Sharepoint accounts that don’t list the sites as sub-sites of the root site.

New in Syncovery 9.18e Build 103 (Oct 27, 2020)

  • Fixes subfolder selections being reset by the selection dialog for older profiles with UNC base paths.

New in Syncovery 9.18d Build 102 (Oct 24, 2020)

  • Improved handling of a path that consists of merely a \COMPUTERNAME and related bug fixes, especially concerning the subfolder selection
  • Can enumerate network shared with a lesser user account level
  • Adds RemoveEmptyFoldersOnlyOneLevelWhereAFileHasBeenRemoved PascalScript variable
  • Fixes cloud related errors such as “Uploading to a folder that has not been read” and “Duplicate Folder Detected” (esp. with Box)
  • various additional improvements and bug fixes

New in Syncovery 9.18b Build 100 (Oct 21, 2020)

  • Fixes Synthetic Backup not working in v9.18a in some cases.
  • Fixed an error “MultiSz Compression Error: Size Deviation”.

New in Syncovery 9.18a Build 99 (Oct 18, 2020)

  • Fixed a zipping error “Multi-spanned archive is not allowed for modification”.

New in Syncovery 9.18 Build 97 (Oct 17, 2020)

  • Synthetic Restore doesn’t need to extract zip files to a temp folder any more, instead it extracts only the required blocks directly to the destination file.
  • Fixes a cloud upload error “Uploading to a folder that has not been read”.

New in Syncovery 9.17 Build 95 (Oct 12, 2020)

  • Can now generate new private/public key pairs for use with SSH/SFTP.
  • Fixes a bogus “duplicate folder” error with Microsoft Azure which could occur when folders had been created with other software, or the Azure management console.
  • Fixes uploading errors to Google Cloud Storage.
  • Cloud stability improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.16 Build 92 (Oct 5, 2020)

  • Compressed Archives/Package filenames are no longer encrypted. Only the contained files will be encrypted. The zip/sz archive itself will have a regular name with file extension, such as Backup 12884.12888.33554434.12888-2020-10-02 22.45.44.zip. This change also fixes an error 217 when the archive is copied to the destination.
  • Fixes hangs with the Mega API.
  • Adds a caching mechanism for IP addresses (resolved domain names) to reduce DNS queries and/or operating system function calls.
  • Stability and hang reporting improvements with multithreaded operations.
  • Google Cloud Storage authorizations are now requested with a higher level again to allow metadata manipulation of existing files, such as timestamp setting.
  • Various additional improvements and bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.15 Build 90 (Sep 28, 2020)

  • First Mac Release of Syncovery 9.
  • Cloud Cache Databases for Google Drive, DropBox, Box, and OneDrive/Sharepoint/Graph now store an addition flag to confirm that empty folders have been scanned and confirmed to be empty. This allows Syncovery to work correctly even if the subfolder selection for an existing profile is modified by the user, and some folders aren’t present in the cache yet. Syncovery 9.15 will have to re-confirm all empty folders once when you run a cloud based profile the first time after updating. This can result in a longer folder scanning process (only once per profile).
  • Should fix an issue where Syncovery would not see some folders on OneDrive.
  • Various additional minor improvements and bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.13b Build 87 (Sep 13, 2020)

  • Fixes permission problems that some users had with the new additional INI files.

New in Syncovery 9.13a Build 86 (Sep 11, 2020)

  • Fixes an occasional WorkerThread error.

New in Syncovery 9.13 Build 85 (Sep 11, 2020)

  • Optimizes running a great number of profiles by separating out some sections from Syncovery.ini to separate ini files.
  • Fixes saving a custom character replacement for the double quote character ".
  • Additional optimizations.

New in Syncovery 9.12 Build 84 (Sep 7, 2020)

  • The Sz format can now be used for Synthetic Backup.
  • Web GUI improvements.
  • Windows only: one-way jobs can now be set to ignore files that have a different size but identical timestamp.
  • Windows only: prevents windows from appearing offscreen.
  • Windows only: fixes a possible Range Check Error when using the experimental “Pure SSH” transfer method.

New in Syncovery 9.08 Build 71 (Aug 6, 2020)

  • For Google Drive and Sharepoint/OneDrive/Graph, adds a checkmark on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog that allows to use the changes-based listing “Except For First Scan (scan folders directly if cache database is empty)”. This choice is on by default for new profiles, to avoid lengthy history processing.
  • Fixes a possible lockup when the max. number of profiles per process is set to 1.
  • Fixes unnecessary logging to Syncovery_realtime_status_log.txt, which could cause it to become quite large.

New in Syncovery 9.07e Build 70 (Aug 4, 2020)

  • Fixes an Access Violation that could occur if two profiles simultaneously try to access the same cloud cache Sz archive file. This could cause the cloud cache database to be deleted, which could cause a lengthy re-scan or re-processing of the folders or changes history.
  • Further Web GUI improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.07d Build 69 (Aug 4, 2020)

  • Automatically reduces SFTP upload block sizes if larger sizes are incompatible with the SFTP server.
  • Avoids trying to download Google Drive internal links (which cannot be downloaded or exported).
  • Additional bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.06 Build 63 (Jul 14, 2020)

  • Reduces the upload buffer size for TGPuttyLib to fix compatibility problems with some SFTP servers.
  • File timestamps are now rounded to whole seconds when uploading via SFTP using the SecureBlackBox implementation.
  • Enables Syncovery to handle FTP or SFTP folders with mixed filename encodings (where UTF-8 and Windows ANSI are inconsistently mixed).
  • Fixes email notifications sometimes not being sent, or not containing the log file as attachment.
  • Additional bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 9.06 Beta 1 (Jul 9, 2020)

  • Reduces the upload buffer size for TGPuttyLib to fix compatibility problems with some SFTP servers. File timestamps are now rounded to whole seconds when uploading via SFTP using the SecureBlackBox implementation. It also enables Syncovery to handle FTP or SFTP folders with mixed filename encodings (where UTF-8 and Windows ANSI are inconsistently mixed).

New in Syncovery 9.05 Build 56 (Jul 4, 2020)

  • Uses a new, advanced ETA algorithm that takes different copying speeds of smaller and larger files into account, as well as different speeds for uploading and downloading, and also measures the speeds of additional actions such as deletions and renames, and takes them into account.
  • A new checkmark “Empty Folders” on the Sync Preview allows you to hide and show empty folders, and also prevent the creation of empty folders (if you forgot to remove the Empty Folders checkmark in the profile and you don’t want them).
  • No longer attempts to upload files over 100 MB to Google Drive for conversion into native Google Docs. Instead, the original file format will be preserved on upload. Also falls back to unconverted uploads if the converted upload fails (rather than retrying many times).
  • Uses a newer version of Windows’ Browse for Folder Dialog.
  • Adds UseBinaryCompToAvoidCopying variable for PascalScripts.
  • More quickly skips over folders that can’t be deleted.

New in Syncovery 9.04 Build 52 (Jun 25, 2020)

  • Contains updated libraries for Internet Connectivity, especially for FTP. All protocols can now verify SSL/TLS server certificates correctly, including hostname verification.
  • Fixes notification emails sometimes being sent although not selected for that case, and includes a more precise reason why the email was sent or not in the log file.

New in Syncovery 9.03c Build 48 (Jun 21, 2020)

  • Futher cloud related improvements. Specifically, copying directly from one cloud to another could cause error messages like “DIRECTORY NOT FOUND”, which caused some of the uploads to fail.

New in Syncovery 9.03b Build 48 (Jun 20, 2020)

  • Fixes bugs in the changes based listing method for some cloud services, which could cause various error messages in log files as well as delays.

New in Syncovery 9.03a Build 47 (Jun 19, 2020)

  • Optimizes progress reporting during folder scanning phase.
  • Fixes the INI file entry SkipProfileListAuthForIP=192.168.12.58.

New in Syncovery 9.02c Build 45 (Jun 13, 2020)

  • Fixes the program password prompt dialog when opening the Syncovery main program.

New in Syncovery 9.02b Build 44 (Jun 9, 2020)

  • Fixes the local timezone not being used during the first 10 minutes after rebooting. Syncovery now checks for timezone changes every 10 minutes, but before this update, it didn’t check unless the last boot was longer than 10 minutes ago.
  • Prevents ever using AWS Signature V4 for servers like Wasabi, which are S3 compatible. Wasabi actually does support Signature V4 but apparently not in the exact same way as the original S3, so Syncovery’s V4 signatures failed with Wasabi.

New in Syncovery 9.02a Build 42 (Jun 9, 2020)

  • Fixes lockups.

New in Syncovery 9.02 Build 41 (Jun 8, 2020)

  • Fixes rare hangs in https transfers.
  • Now also available in French.
  • Contains new Syncovery File System Monitoring Service v1.20, now also in 64-bit, with updated CBFS Filter driver v2017.0.22.108.

  • Allows up to 10 parallel uploads or downloads to and from DropBox (use carefully – can cause penalty delays).
  • Adds the first instalment of a REST API – when the browser based web interface is active, you can use profilelist.json to get a machine readable profile list with status and scheduled times etc. This read-only profilelist.json can be accessed without authentication if you use the INI file lines SkipProfileListAuth=1 or SkipProfileListAuthForIP=192.168.12.58.
  • Fixes some registry entries being made although the program is used in portable mode.
  • Additional smaller improvements.

  • Additional smaller improvements.

New in Syncovery 9.01 Build 38 (May 27, 2020)

  • Improved getting and setting of file attributes and timestamps, which should result in a slight speed advantage and improved reliability of timestamp setting after files have been copied, especially with non-Windows drives (such as network drives or driver letters provided by third party apps).
  • The Graph protocol can now access multiple users’ OneDrives, provided that the user is a Site Administrator for these OneDrives, or that Syncovery is given domain specific App Registration details and Admin Consent is granted via portal.azure.com (email us for detailed instructions).
  • Adds new PascalScript hooks OnCanRunProfile and OnGetNextRunTime, as well as a few helper functions.
  • Log-on, Log-off, and shutdown/reboot jobs can now be run via the service.
  • Some Retry? questions during file copying now have a better dialog box with timeout and the ability to choose “Always retry” or “Never retry”.

  • Adds a few PascalScript variables and a helper function.

New in Syncovery 9.00d Build 34 (May 13, 2020)

  • Fixes the container selection for some cloud services, which did not work unless a valid container name was already specified.

New in Syncovery 9.00c Build 33 (May 9, 2020)

  • Will now properly perform a new Mega login if the previous session was terminated by the user in the Mega security sessions.

  • Amazon S3 Signature V4 can now be enforced with AWSAlwaysUseSignatureV4=1 in the Main section of the Ini file.
  • Fixes a few UI glitches.

New in Syncovery 9.00 Build 30 (May 4, 2020)

  • Includes a new SFTP Implementation called TGPuttyLib, based on PuTTY by Simon Tatham. This will allow very fast transfer speeds.
  • The Sz file format can now be used with packages containing more than one file. The Remote Service has been updated to version 9 with the ability to extract Sz packages.
  • The multi-file Sz format is now used for archiving json history files from cloud servers that support the changes based listing. The advantage is that json files no longer need to be unzipped prior to processing them, because they can be read from the Sz file directly.
  • Three new checkboxes on the Gears toolbar button menu: “Minimize to Tray” and “Run Profiles in Main Window” and “Hide Sync Preview While Copying” (under Running Options). Please note: the GUI uses a square tray icon, while the Background Scheduler uses the traditional round icon. Both can coexist at the same time, which is by design.
  • A new way to run profiles is available in the Profile Overview context menu: “Run in Background With Preview”.
  • More detailed status reporting for background jobs in the profile overview, with copying rate and ETA.
  • Can now set Unix Permissions when using FTP or SFTP (see the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog in the profile).
  • A new option is available under Files->More in the profiles: Copy Only XXX MegaBytes per run.
  • In Real-Time mode, Syncovery can now regularly check Internet based folders for changes. This works best with cloud storages that use a changes-based listing method: Google Drive, Sharepoint, OneDrive, DropBox, and Box.
  • On other storages, Syncovery can check the base folder for changes regularly, and scan subfolders if they have new modification timestamps. However, most servers will not update folder modification timestamps correctly across the whole hierarchy, so that a regular full scan would still be necessary. To avoid this, Syncovery itself can ensure that parent folder timestamps are updated when it uploads to an Internet server. It will do so in real-time two-way profiles, or if the option “Touch parent folders” is chosen on the Folders tab sheet in the profile. This technique might not work with some types of servers (such as FTP, Amazon S3, Azure – but SFTP is fine).
  • The new behavior can be chosen on the Real-Time Settings dialog, on the new tab sheet “Internet Folders (Polling for Changes)”. The new features are also available as separate options, when you scroll down on the “Folders” and “File Age and Size” tab sheets.
  • Can upload NTFS security settings and Alternate Data Streams for folders to storages like FTP or Google Drive, by putting them in .metadata-syncovery-MD5 files. These settings can be applied back to local folders on restore/download.
  • Can include NTFS security settings and Alternate Data Streams for files in Zip and Sz files. Options for thes features have been added to the Security and Shares dialog as well as the Alternate Data Streams dialog.
  • Can upload symbolic links to storages that do not support them, by storing them in .$symlink files. New checkmarks for this feature have been added to the General Filters tab sheet.
  • Supports High-DPI monitors with hi-res graphics and fonts.
  • Supports “Shared with me” items on Google Drive. Use the topmost Browse button on the Internet Protocol Settings dialog to choose between your main Google Drive and Shared with me items (and possibly additional Shared Drives or Team Drives).
  • Allows minimizing while building file list.
  • Is generally more responsive. All network accesses are now performed in separate threads. Profiles can be canceled even while Syncovery is waiting for a response from the network or server.

New in Syncovery 8.67b Build 378 (May 2, 2020)

  • Mega connector: improved performance and hang fixes caused by unnecessary extra logins, which the servers did not like.
  • Additional very minor fixes.

New in Syncovery 8.67 Build 376 (Apr 28, 2020)

  • Uses the latest Mega SDK to work with newer Mega accounts.
  • Can set last modification timestamps when updating files to Mega

  • Less memory usage when uploading to Mega.
  • Can now rename and move files and folders on Mega.
  • Fixes problems with folder names with leading or trailing spaces.
  • Fixes Mega related crashes and other bugs (such as when canceling a download).

New in Syncovery 8.66 Build 375 (Apr 23, 2020)

  • Reduces excessive logging of some non-fatal exceptions, such as cloud server rate limiting and other errors that just need a retry.
  • Fixes some encrypted file names not being compatible with DropBox and Box.

New in Syncovery 8.65e Build 373 (Apr 23, 2020)

  • Fixes bogus “Duplicate Folder” errors that (rarely) occurred mostly with Box.
  • Now shows folder timestamps in the Sync Preview when using the PCloud storage.

New in Syncovery 8.65d Build 372 (Apr 17, 2020)

  • Fixes a problem where the scheduler could not start jobs on some machines (ERROR ERunThread.Execute).

New in Syncovery 9.00 Beta 23 (Apr 16, 2020)

  • Includes a new SFTP Implementation called TGPuttyLib, based on PuTTY by Simon Tatham. This will allow very fast transfer speeds.

  • More detailed status reporting for background jobs in the profile overview, with copying rate and ETA.
  • Can now set Unix Permissions when using FTP or SFTP (see the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog in the profile).
  • Real-time sync can now work with Internet folders on the source side using a new mode that regularly scans the base folder level only, and uses folder timestamps to check for modified folders. This requires folder timestamps to be updated across the whole hierarchy, which most servers don’t do – but Syncovery itself will do it in real-time two-way profiles. The new behavior can be chosen on the Real-Time Settings dialog, on the new tab sheet “Internet Folders (no file system events)”. The new features are also available as separate options, when you scroll down on the “Folders” and “File Age and Size” tab sheets.

  • Fixes a possible profile execution error “Can’t prepare”.
  • Fixes a rare error message “MD5 not found” when unpacking or verifying an Sz file.
  • Adds INI configuration strings to accept all SSL certificates or all self-signed SSL certificates:

New in Syncovery 7.50 Beta 1 (May 11, 2016)

  • The Monitoring Tool can now work without a direct connection to the monitored clients. You can monitor a Syncovery scheduler’s activity on any machine. Status information and commands are exchanged via a central storage (such as FTP). The feature is documented on the Monitoring Tool dialog (File->Monitoring Tool in Syncovery). All settings, passwords etc. are made there. The INI file section [CentralManagementSharedSettings] is then copied to clients’ INI files to enable them to be monitored. Commands sent to clients are signed with PGP in order to prevent misuse.
  • You can specify status upload delays and specify how frequently clients should check for commands. Because there is no direct connection, status information will be delayed by a few seconds, and commands will only take effect after a few minutes, depending on your settings.
  • It will be possible to monitor the next Macintosh and Linux versions also, but the Monitoring Tool itself is Windows only.

New in Syncovery 7.48b Build 342 (May 9, 2016)

  • fixes an issue in yesterday’s version 7.48a preventing the scheduler from starting.

New in Syncovery 7.48a Build 341 (Apr 27, 2016)

  • bug fix of File List Cache sub-option “Double-check the actual destination for those folders where new or updated files seem to exist” when used with B2 or Rackspace (which is not recommended because it causes complete re-reading of the file list with those APIs).

New in Syncovery 7.42d Build 301 (Feb 25, 2016)

  • fixes a bug where sometimes a number of files to move would be shown for the source side of the sync. This was only a counting error, no incorrect moves were done

New in Syncovery 7.42c Build 300 (Feb 23, 2016)

  • Win only: allows “Run as user” to work with the four cloud protocols that use an internal cache and get changes from the server only: Box, DropBox, Google Drive, and Amazon Cloud Drive.

  • fixes Google Drive errors concerning folder names starting with a space or containing a single quote character
  • fixes items missing from the Sync Preview when it starts in collapsed state
  • if the folder for deleted files on an FTP or other server already contains a file to delete,
  • and also contains it in encoded form with timestamp, then the file is just deleted if moving it into the folder for deleted files fails.
  • it now makes sense to combine binary comparison with move files mode and “delete identical or older from source”
  • fixes a bug where Syncovery would try “resuming from 0 Bytes”

New in Syncovery 7.37 Build 276 (Jan 13, 2016)

  • Implements recursive deletion of deselected folders from the destination in Exact Mirror Mode, when the option “Remove Deselected Subfolders and Files From Destination” is chosen. To use this feature you have to actively choose it again in version 7.37 even if it was chosen previously. Version 7.37 removes the checkmark from existing profiles because the implementation of the feature is now more complete and alters the behavior of the software.

New in Syncovery 7.30 Build 250 (Dec 13, 2015)

  • adds DropBoxV2 as protocol. The new algorithm and API for DropBox speeds up getting the file list, similar to Google Drive in v7.29. This algorithm caches the file list and downloads only the changes when a job starts. It is highly recommended not to use the feature “Cache Destination File List” any more because the new algorithm has its own cache.
  • various bug fixes

New in Syncovery 7.29 Build 222 (Dec 9, 2015)

  • new algorithm and API usage for Google Drive speeds up getting the file list. This algorithm caches the file list and downloads only the changes when a job start. It is highly recommended not to use the feature “Cache Destination File List” any more because the new algorithm has its own cache.

New in Syncovery 7.20b Build 203 (Nov 4, 2015)

  • Fixes conversion of pre-7.20 databases.

New in Syncovery 7.20a Build 202 (Oct 30, 2015)

  • Version 7.20 adds support for Amazon Cloud Drive and MediaFire, and features a new, lightning fast database format for the “Cache Destination File List” feature. In the past, the cache database could often be slower than the destination storage itself in terms of building the file list. Now the database should be at least as fast as locally attached SSD drives.
  • To use Amazon Cloud Drive, click the Internet button and choose Amazon Cloud Drive as protocol.

New in Syncovery 7.18e Build 129 (Aug 31, 2015)

  • Fixes leaving duplicate files on Google Drive when a newer version of a file is uploaded that already exists. All duplicates will be deleted if you upload a file with the new version. If you want to clean duplicates in your complete folder structure, use the new version 7.20 which has a checkmark for cleaning duplicates on the Google Drive tab sheet of the Internet dialog.

New in Syncovery 7.18d Build 127 (Aug 31, 2015)

  • Fixes a possible bug converting older Google Docs profiles when they are not edited but run directly by the new version.

New in Syncovery 7.17 Build 114 (May 30, 2015)

  • The Google Drive protocol now completely replaces the Google Docs protocol, which has been shut down by Google. Previous Google Docs jobs will automatically use document conversion where chosen. New jobs and previous Google Drive jobs need to have document conversion enabled if desired. The checkmark is on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog. Note that the available file types for conversion have been updated on the Google Docs tab sheet.
  • Fixes a few cloud related issues (especially around authentication and refreshing tokens).

New in Syncovery 7.16 Build 112 (May 22, 2015)

  • Any single Syncovery process will not allocate more than 8GB of RAM even in the 64 bit version. The limit can be changed by adding a line such as AbsMaxMemoryMB=2048 to the [Main] section of the INI file. If a job allocates more memory than this, it will stop and log diagnostics information.
  • Jobs split due to the number of files exceeding 2 million (or the number specified on the Program Settings dialog) will now request only one recursive listing for all the parts of the split job from servers like FTP, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure and other cloud services.

New in Syncovery 7.15e Build 111 (May 15, 2015)

New in Syncovery 7.20 Build 130 Beta 9 (May 9, 2015)

  • Adds support for Amazon Cloud Drive and features a new, lightning fast database format for the “Cache Destination File List” feature. In the past, the cache database could often be slower than the destination storage itself in terms of building the file list. Now the database should be at least as fast as locally attached SSD drives.

New in Syncovery 7.15a Build 106 (Apr 10, 2015)

  • Fixes a new bug in 7.15 that caused file security processing to fail in some cases. The Syncovery Remote Service has been updated, too.

New in Syncovery 7.15 Build 105 (Apr 6, 2015)

  • A new setting on the “Process Security and Shares” dialog allows to compare and update security settings for folders only rather than also comparing all files. The files will simply inherit from the updated folders.
  • The Syncovery Remote Service will now include NTFS Security Settings in its remote listing, if security settings are included in the job and set to be updated for existing items.
  • Adds support for Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption. You will find the checkmark on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog.
  • Avoids long retry loops when OneDrive refuses a file due to a total file path that is too long.

New in Syncovery 7.11 Build 103 RC 1 (Mar 10, 2015)

  • Adds support for Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption. You will find the checkmark on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog.
  • Avoids long retry loops when OneDrive refuses a file due to a total file path that is too long.

New in Syncovery 7.10b Build 102 (Mar 4, 2015)

  • The OneDrive protocol can now access folders shared with you. To access them, click the browse button next to the “Container” field on the Internet dialog. You may have to re-authorize Syncovery for the additional access, which is done be clicking “Forget cloud access tokens” on the Program Settings dialog.
  • Can now read very large OneDrive folders with over 5000 files.
  • Fixes unzipping which was broken in version 7.10.

New in Syncovery 7.10a Build 101 (Mar 3, 2015)

  • Fixes the email protocol as storage which was broken in version 7.10.
  • The uninstaller can now really remove all your profiles, settings, databases and logs if you confirm it.
  • Additional smaller fixes.

New in Syncovery 7.10 Build 100 (Feb 23, 2015)

  • The Syncovery Remote Service can now generate multi-threaded file listings extremely fast, and the new listings can be processed by Syncovery with multiple threads also. This means a huge speed increase for remote listings. The number of threads can be specified on the Remote Service Control Panel, and independently on the Program Settings dialog in Syncovery.
  • Fix for OneDrive file listings that take over 60 minutes.
  • Adds automatic retries for cloud connections in some cases where they were still missing.
  • Max only: fixes a new bug which made it impossible to sync with a base path of just /
  • Stability fix that could affect multi-threaded listings.

New in Syncovery 7.09i Build 93 (Feb 9, 2015)

  • Fixes a failure with SFTP if a server URL is accessed without folder specification and no subfolders.

New in Syncovery 7.09e Build 85 (Jan 26, 2015)

  • Fixes a bug in the Azure protocol which would cause Syncovery to not recognize the file size correctly if it was over 2GB, which could cause re-uploading of such files.

New in Syncovery 7.09d Build 83 (Jan 23, 2015)

  • Fixes creating folders on OneDrive which was broken in 7.09/7.09a on Mac only.
  • Important reliability fixes for the Google Drive protocol.
  • Additional fixes.

New in Syncovery 7.09c Build 81 (Jan 22, 2015)

  • Important reliability fixes for the Google Drive protocol

New in Syncovery 7.09 Build 78 (Jan 19, 2015)

  • Improved error handling when trying to delete files or folders. Specifically, network disconnections will appear as errors properly in the log file and in the profile results. They will no longer confuse SmartTracking, so that it will re-try the failed deletions the next time the job runs, rather than copying files and folders back. In addition, Syncovery will wait for a network reconnection for up to five minutes.
  • Fixes a bogus “folder not empty” error trying to delete folders across several hierarchies (by adding more retries after a short wait so Windows can realize that the folder is now empty).

New in Syncovery 7.08a Build 76 (Jan 13, 2015)

  • OneDrive: the folder creation logic will now honor the delay specified by request throttling errors from the server.
  • SSH/SFTP: IPV6 off switch was ignored in version 7 so far, this has been fixed.
  • WebDAV: fixes an error message when using library 3 (OpenSSL).

New in Syncovery 7.08 Build 75 (Jan 10, 2015)

  • In Exact Mirror Mode, Syncovery can now replace files with folders and vice versa. Previous versions would not handle such cases and report them as a conflict only.
  • Fixes uploading zip packages (with several files per zip archive) to OneDrive when Auto-Resume was off.

New in Syncovery 7.07b Build 74 (Jan 6, 2015)

  • Fixes a new OneDrive uploading bug.
  • Fixes a bug in folder-oriented real-time mode that could cause bogus errors in the log file and create empty folders on drive C: even if it was not part of the sync job.
  • Additional cloud stability fixes.

New in Syncovery 7.07a Build 73 (Jan 5, 2015)

  • Fixes the device selection browse button for MTP devices when creating a new profile (it was broken in 7.07).

New in Syncovery 7.07 Build 72 (Jan 3, 2015)

  • Mac only: Fixes browsing for a folder when running as root.
  • Additional bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 7.06 Build 70 (Dec 20, 2014)

  • Fixes uploading larger files to some WebDAV servers when Basic Authentication is not used or supported.
  • Adds a third WebDAV library using OpenSSL, similar to the Mac version.
  • Some MTP error handling improvements.

New in Syncovery 7.05a Build 66 (Dec 9, 2014)

  • Allows spaces and Unicode characters in Rackspace container names.
  • Fixes the OK button being disabled in some dialog boxes.

New in Syncovery 7.05 Build 65 (Dec 8, 2014)

  • Fixes an issue where sometimes, a second run of a profile was needed to adjust all folder permissions on the destination.
  • Improved algorithm to adjust folder timestamps on the destination at the end of a profile run (if “Compare Folder Timestamps” is chosen under Comparison->More).
  • Allows up to 10 parallel uploads for Rackspace and BOX.
  • More than the allowed uploads can now be specified on the Files tab sheet, so that additional threads can prepare for uploading and wait in queue.

New in Syncovery 7.04 Build 64 (Dec 4, 2014)

  • Implements chunked uploads for DropBox so you can upload files over 150MB.
  • Allows up to 10 parallel uploads for Rackspace and BOX.
  • Allows up to 3 parallel uploads for OneDrive.
  • More than the allowed uploads can now be specified on the Files tab sheet, so that additional threads can prepare for uploading and wait in queue.
  • Added a “Fast Mode” for OneDrive that uses only the new chunked API. In Fast Mode, the files’ “Last Modified” timestamps cannot be preserved, but you will likely not get any “Request throttled” errors, so you can upload more data faster. You will find the Fast Mode checkbox on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog. In addition, for the normal uploading mode, fallback to the new API as well as handling of the request throttling by OneDrive has been improved.
  • Updates the Syncovery Remote Service with a possible stability fix.

New in Syncovery 7.03a Build 63 (Dec 2, 2014)

  • Fixes a rare “Division by zero” exception.

New in Syncovery 7.03 Build 62 (Dec 2, 2014)

  • Syncovery can now upload files over 100MB in size to OneDrive by supporting a new API that Microsoft has added.
  • Excessive memory usage when scanning folders on Microsoft Azure has been fixed.
  • On Windows, the NTFS Security Settings (permissions) copying has been much improved. You can now copy permissions directly from the top level of a UNC share to a folder, or to another UNC share. When choosing “Process base folder too”, inheritance is automatically disabled on the destination if this is necessary to make the permissions match. Several bugs have been fixed.

New in Syncovery 7.02 Build 59 (Nov 22, 2014)

  • Fixes hangs in the 64-bit edition when SFTP transfers are interrupted.
  • Reinstates multithreaded folder listing via WebDAV, which is now stable.
  • Large folder listings which take a long time are now possible to retrieve from BOX cloud storage.
  • Improvement when replacing read-only files such as files starting with a dot.

New in Syncovery 7.01c Build 57 (Nov 19, 2014)

  • Fixes a possible crash or lock-up with multi-threaded listing of WebDAV folders

New in Syncovery 7.01a Build 55 (Nov 12, 2014)

  • Now automatically takes registration codes from existing V6 registrations, if the upgrade is free.
  • Fixes downloading files with Unicode filenames not normalized according to the Windows standard from FTP, SSH, WebDAV servers etc.
  • Fixes SSH connectvity with some recent NAS firmware updates by adding the DH_GROUP_EXCHANGE256 key exchange cypher.

New in Syncovery 7.01 Build 54 (Nov 10, 2014)

  • The Check for Update function was fixed.
  • The SMTP settings for email notification can now be set to SSL versions older than TLS 1.
  • SSL/TLS version selection has been added to the WebDAV and HTTP protocols.
  • HTTP downloading from web sites could hang in v7.00, this has been fixed.
  • In real time mode, a bug was fixed where subfolders could sometimes be copied even if the Subfolder selection is “None”.

New in Syncovery 7.00 Build 53 (Nov 8, 2014)

  • Available as native 64-bit and 32-bit versions (for Windows only).
  • All Internet connections now use TLS and avoid the vulnerable SSL v2 and v3 (especially due to the POODLE vulnerability).
  • Editable colors and predefined color sets for the Profile Overview and Sync Preview
  • New Profile Overview setting: “Show Scheduled Profiles Only”
  • All libraries updated, i.e. new code for many features such as Zipping, FTP, SFTP, HTTP, as well as all other Internet Protocols
  • Includes latest OpenSSL libraries v1.0.1j on Windows, and SSL is now compatible with all known SMTP servers. On Mac, OpenSSL is part of MacOS, so Apple determines which version to include.
  • Simultaneous file deletions, renames, moves etc. (similar to files being copied in parallel, it will also be possible to have them be deleted in parallel to save time)
  • Multithreaded reading of folders in all cases except where a file list cache or a remote lister or one of the new cloud DLLs is used.
  • New Performance tab sheet on Program Settings dialog, as well as a threading option on the Files tab sheet in each profile.
  • Syncovery can now detect your Internet connection and run jobs only when a specific connection is active. See the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet “Startup”. The detection works based on the reverse DNS names which Syncovery gets by querying https://www.syncovery.com/whoami.php. You can click this link yourself to see which DNS name your Internet connection has.
  • File copying up to 100 files in parallel per job is allowed although not recommended. Folder scanning up to 500 threads, but performance may degrade substantially if using more than 50 threads.
  • Multithreaded multipart upload to Amazon S3 in order to maximize bandwidth usage. You can specify the number of threads on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet “Cloud”. This setting will also be used for uploads to Glacier and Azure.
  • Support for MTP devices. You can now sync with any smartphone or camera including Android devices and iPhones. See the new “Device…” buttons below the left and right-hand paths when editing a profile in Advanced Mode.
  • Support for Windows Event Log and SugarSync cloud storage. Windows Events can be configured on the Program Settings dialog. Containers (buckets/vaults) can be chosen via a Browse dialog for Amazon S3, Glacier, Microsoft Azure, and SugarSync.
  • Support for Email as Internet Protocol that can be used for syncing, i.e. you can send and receive files via email using a Syncovery profile. All of the new cloud services are now compiled into the main exe files, so that fewer DLLs are required, and the Setup program is now smaller than version 6.
  • A button “Alternate Data Streams” has been added to the Special tab sheet, which will show a dialog allowing to choose whether Alternate Data Streams should be copied along with the files or not (Windows only). Stripping them from the files may have the advantage that Windows forgets that a file was copied over the network and removes the security prompt when opening it. However, in other cases, Alternate Data Streams may contain valuable information. The default is to copy them along with the main data in the file.
  • Folders for deleted files can now be relative to the base folder, and you can also use a separate Deleted folder in each subfolder. Examples are shown on the “Folder for deleted files” dialog.
  • When synchronizing with a server or any network folder, a configuration file can now be imported at the beginning of the sync. That way, members of work groups can be forced to all use the same profile settings.

New in Syncovery 6.72b Build 267 (Oct 22, 2014)

  • A bug was fixed causing Partial File Updating to re-copy all blocks in some cases.

New in Syncovery 6.72a Build 266 (Oct 16, 2014)

  • A bug was fixed where the “Older versions” folder was read directly even though the destination cache is used, resulting in unnecessary delays and duplicate entries in the internal older versions list.
  • The database now remembers if the file details on an FTP server do not include the seconds, thus avoiding unnecessary re-uploading.
  • A UTC time of 00:00:30 was treated as a special case via Internet Protocols. The handling of this time has been improved.

New in Syncovery 6.72 Build 265 (Oct 13, 2014)

  • Timezone check improvements and automatic deletion of older left-over timezone check files (sffs.tz.check*.$$$).
  • Automatic deletion of older left-over TGTEMP*.$$$ files in the TEMP folder (they are used by real-time synchronization with “process complete folder” mode).
  • Fixes a memory leak in Amazon S3 listing (a new bug in a recent update).

New in Syncovery 6.71c Build 263 (Oct 7, 2014)

  • Fixes files being zipped and uploaded without zip extension if one of the new cloud services was the destination and the options “Zip Files Individually” and “Automatically resume” were both selected.

New in Syncovery 6.71b Build 262 (Oct 5, 2014)

  • Stability improvements in multi-threaded usage, especially if you have many jobs that use a database and run in parallel.
  • Fixes an error message “Cannot create a HWnd in a thread” which was a new bug in 6.71a.

New in Syncovery 6.71a Build 261 (Oct 5, 2014)

  • Enables Unicode (UTF-8) when using FTP with AVM Fritz!Boxes. It had been disabled for a few years because the boxes could hang with UTF-8, but this now works fine with recent firmware versions.
  • Fixes timezone detection with some FTP servers.
  • You can now use WebDAV without authentication by entering **none!!** as user name and anything as password.

New in Syncovery 6.70b Build 259 (Sep 21, 2014)

  • Fixes processing Amazon Glacier Inventories which contain filenames (descriptions) with commas.

New in Syncovery 6.70a Build 258 (Sep 21, 2014)

  • Fixes hard link detection which was broken in version 6.70 (profiles with the setting would cause an error message when trying to run).

New in Syncovery 6.70 Build 257 (Sep 18, 2014)

  • Cloud performance enhancements for uploading to Google Drive, DropBox, SkyDrive, and Box.NET.
  • Fixes restoring with a “Target Date” not copying any files of which versions newer than the target date exist.

New in Syncovery 6.69f Build 256 (Sep 12, 2014)

  • Updates the upload URL used for Box.com cloud storage. The previously used upload URL may stop working soon, so the update is recommended for all Box.com users.

New in Syncovery 6.69e Build 255 (Sep 10, 2014)

  • Fixes authentication with OneDrive by using newer URLs that Microsoft introduced a while back.

New in Syncovery 6.69d Build 254 (Sep 8, 2014)

  • Fixes a one more older version than specified being kept when using the Destination Cache feature (in some cases).
  • Fixes a Range Check Error when writing the profile settings to the end of the log, which may also rarely have affected general stability.

New in Syncovery 7.00 Build 19 Beta 19 (Sep 1, 2014)

  • support for Email as Internet Protocol that can be used for syncing, i.e. you can send and receive files via email using a Syncovery profile. All of the new cloud services are now compiled into the main exe files, so that fewer DLLs are required, and the Setup program is now smaller than version 6.

New in Syncovery 6.69b Build 252 (Aug 22, 2014)

  • Minor bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 6.69 Build 247 (Aug 16, 2014)

  • Adds more flexibility to the timestamp filters. You can now choose between apply to: Files, Folders, or Both. The new feature is applying the filter only to folders, which mean that all files in matching folders will be taken into account even if the files don’t match the timestamp filter.
  • The Multi-Edit Tool can now apply File Age filters to many profiles at once.

New in Syncovery 7.00 Build 18 Beta 18 (Aug 11, 2014)

  • support for Windows Event Log and SugarSync cloud storage. Windows Events can be configured on the Program Settings dialog. Containers (buckets/vaults) can be chosen via a Browse dialog for Amazon S3, Glacier, Microsoft Azure, and SugarSync.

New in Syncovery 6.68a Build 245 (Aug 9, 2014)

  • Adds support for writing various kinds of events to the Windows Event Log. The Program Settings dialog has a new tab sheet where you can choose the event types you need.

  • Fixes timestamp setting after upload to a Serv-U FTP Server.

New in Syncovery 6.66b Build 235 (Jul 11, 2014)

  • Fixes new bug in 6.66a causing some real-time profiles to fail with error Not started … AParentParent.
  • Windows only: the Program Setting “Scheduler may ask to turn on and connect missing drives” will now be applied to shutdown/login jobs too. In other words, you can now turn the message off that asked you to insert a volume labeled XYZ.

New in Syncovery 6.66a Build 234 (Jul 9, 2014)

  • Improves processing speed of listings generated by Syncovery Remote Service.
  • Fixes a bug with deletion of deselected folders in Exact Mirror Mode.

  • Stability improvements and bug fixes, feature complete except additional cloud services to come.
  • File copying up to 100 files in parallel per job although not recommended.
  • Folder scanning up to 500 threads, but performance may degrade substantially if using more than 50 threads.

New in Syncovery 6.66 Build 233 (Jun 23, 2014)

  • Fixes bogus errors when several threads or job try to create the same folder at the same time.
  • Fixes a bug causing file names to be erroneously stored in the database as “original names” for folders. When the destination cache was used, this could lead to erroneous copying to wrong folders on subsequent runs, as well as re-copying the same files every time. The new version fixes this. Existing databases can continue being used. Only one-way backup jobs using the Destination Cache could be affected.

New in Syncovery 6.65a Build 232 (Jun 18, 2014)

  • Prevents OneDrive from scaling large photos down after upload. Existing scaled down photos will now be shown on the Sync Preview with their scaled down size, and the timestamp will have one minute subtracted so that Syncovery will by default re-upload such photos to get them on OneDrive in their original form.

New in Syncovery 7.00 Build 4 Beta 4 (Jun 17, 2014)

  • Additional multithreading support, new Performance tab sheet on Program Settings dialog, as well as a threading option on the Files tab sheet in each profile.

New in Syncovery 7.00 Build 3 Beta 3 (Jun 17, 2014)

  • Multithreaded reading of folders in all cases except where a file list cache or a remote lister or one of the new cloud DLLs is used.

New in Syncovery 6.64a Build 229 (Jun 12, 2014)

  • Fixes a few issues with the new cloud services.

New in Syncovery 6.64 Build 228 (Jun 9, 2014)

  • Implements the option “Never Copy, Adjust Timestamp Only” for Google Drive, Box.net and OneDrive.
  • Fixes a problem with Delayed Deletions in Exact Mirror Mode. If the same filename would re-appear on the destination side, it would immediately be deleted rather than re-starting the delay.

New in Syncovery 6.63 Build 224 (May 20, 2014)

  • Fixes possible Access Violation errors in the log files when running several cloud sync jobs in parallel.

New in Syncovery 6.62c Build 221 (May 20, 2014)

New in Syncovery 6.60a Build 210 (Apr 23, 2014)

  • Fixes a bug in 6.60 where folder names were not added correctly to the file list cache when profiles were also using zipping or filename encoding. This could cause unnecessary re-uploads if the profile uses the option “Cache Destination File List”.

New in Syncovery 6.60 Build 208 (Apr 22, 2014)

  • Adds Continuous Sync mode on the tab sheet Schedule->Monitoring/Real-Time. Continuous sync will never disconnect from the server, which is useful especially for Internet Protocols like FTP and SFTP. It should be used with a Minimum Pause of one second or more.
  • Significant cloud improvements, including no more left over temp files or duplicate folder problems with Google Drive.
  • Can handle duplicate files on Windows drives which have differently encoded accented characters (there are two ways to encode an accented character in Unicode).

New in Syncovery 6.58d Build 206 (Apr 18, 2014)

  • Fixes refreshing Google Drive access tokens, avoiding to show an unnecessary authentication page.
  • Additional cloud bug fixes.

New in Syncovery 6.56 Build 198 (Apr 11, 2014)

  • Improved support for the five new cloud services added recently. In particular, they can now be used with the option “Cache Destination File List”, which boosts performance considerably for upload-only profiles. Google Drive authentication is now done in your default Browser, so in case of problems you can try switching the default browser.
  • Fixes Unicode (UTF-8) when used with the Gene6 FTP Server. Fixes automatic UTF-8 detection with FTP library #3.
  • Automatic throttling of sending files to the Recycle Bin if it is busy (avoids Thread Creation or Out of Memory errors).

  • Fixes an issue where the versioning mechanism would sometimes not delete the oldest file from the older versions but the previous newest one.
  • Fixes an issue in Exact Mirror where the Deletion Delay would also be applied to the options in the lower half of the dialog (Delete files not matching the criteria). The interface however suggests that the Deletion Delay would not be applied to these items, so this has been changed.

New in Syncovery 6.49e Build 188 (Feb 20, 2014)

  • Bug fixes and improved logging with the new “Adjust Timestamps Only” feature.
  • The Syncovery Service will write system events when it has problems starting up.

  • Will now be able to delete “empty” folders if they only contain an empty subfolder for older versions of files.

New in Syncovery 6.47 Build 178 (Jan 16, 2014)

  • When renaming a file on Google Drive, the program now deletes any existing file with that name. A possible use case is where you upload ZIP Packages and want the new zip file to replace the old one.
  • The SkyDrive DLL can now create Internet Protocol Log Files.
  • The Folder Masks feature has been fixed.
  • When using the Recycle Bin, connected files and folders are now treated independently and separately. A possible case where this is important is when you use “Move Files to Destination”. The independent treatment ensures that all items can be copied before they are deleted from the source.

  • “Execute before/after” command lines can now use the variables $LEFTDRIVE and $RIGHTDRIVE.

New in Syncovery 6.34 Build 161 (Oct 5, 2013)

  • Stability Improvements.
  • A rare problem when combining a subfolder selection in combination with the intermediate copying destination feature was fixed.
  • Issues with reparse points were fixed.
  • Mount points are now treated as links to folders, so you can turn off following them, in which case they will be copied as mount points.
  • Keyboard shortcuts have been added to open files and folders from the Sync Preview and folders from the Profile Overview (see the context menus).
  • Global and Group Speed Limits have been removed because it is unclear if they affected stability.

New in Syncovery 6.33 Build 158 (Aug 6, 2013)

  • Tolerates network disconnections during the File List Building Phase.
  • Adds workarounds for bugs in some NAS systems.
  • Fixes compatibility issue with some SharePoint WebDAV servers (inability to connect).
  • Private key certificates can now be used for authentication on both sides of the sync profile (for SFTP etc.).

  • Windows only: accented characters are now automatically normalized to the Unicode C format, preventing various issues when syncing with Apple products using Internet Protocols such as WebDAV.
  • Database-safe mode, when uploading files via Internet Protocols, now allows other applications read access (like normal copying has done for a long time already).
  • Various additional improvements.

New in Syncovery 6.31 Build 151 (Apr 11, 2013)

  • Now shows SSH key fingerprints as MD5 rather than SHA1.
  • Fixes a problem that could cause newer files now being downloaded from Google Docs if they already exist in an older, zipped version on the destination.

  • Adds support for Amazon Glacier.
  • Fixes an issue with the volume shadowing option “Use For All, Create Shadow Before Building File List” that could cause deletions to be disabled due to discrepancies between the file list on the volume shadow and the live one. The new version will look at the shadow only when double-checking deleted files.
  • Fixes multipart file upload to Amazon S3 with extremely large files.

New in Syncovery 6.19 Build 134 (Dec 6, 2012)

  • Fixes an issue where resuming the upload of a ZIP Package in a separate run would not work.
  • Windows only: adds more settings to control the processing of NTFS reparse points.
  • You can now download individual files from HTTP sites even if the index cannot be downloaded because it issues a redirect. The filename(s) to download are specified in the File Masks field.

  • Windows only: the SNI information in HTTP SSL sessions has been fixed.
  • Selecting subfolders when downloading from HTTP sites has been fixed

New in Syncovery 6.18a Build 132 (Nov 24, 2012)

  • Fixes Rsync via SSH which was broken in 6.18.

New in Syncovery 6.18 Build 131 (Nov 24, 2012)

  • Fixes Enforce Hard Links on Windows sometimes not working.
  • Fixes a problem where uploads over 5GB to Amazon S3 would fail if settings were chosen that caused a temporary filename to be used. Uploads to S3 never use a temporary filename now because items over 5GB cannot be renamed on S3.
  • Fixes some Rsync issues.
  • Now copies third party reparse points.
  • Fixes parsing of some FTP listings with links.
  • Bypass File Buffering by Windows no longer enforces a temporary filename to be used for copying, but only in Exact Mirror mode.

New in Syncovery 6.17 Build 125 (Nov 12, 2012)

  • Adds the /CHOOSESUBFOLDERS command line parameter.
  • Fixes a rare I/O error 105.

New in Syncovery 6.16a Build 123 (Nov 7, 2012)

  • Fixes a problem introduced in v6.16 which would require a folder for deleted files to be specified for both sides (instead of one or none) when using the Move Files mode.

New in Syncovery 6.16 Build 121 (Nov 3, 2012)

  • Fixes some rsync issues.
  • Adds four new safety features to prevent unintended deletions due to network interruptions:

  • Cancels deletions if any subfolder cannot be read due to network issues.
  • Always double-checks the non-existence of folders.
  • Double-checks the non-existence of up to 100 files even if the double-check setting is off (on the tab sheet Files->Deletions).

New in Syncovery 6.15 Build 120 (Oct 27, 2012)

  • Windows only: fixes a bug when listing files or folders with Unicode characters on Amazon S3.
  • Windows only: fixes an occasional bug with Chinese FTP listings.
  • A few email subjects and log file names have been modified.

New in Syncovery 6.14 Build 119 (Oct 27, 2012)

  • Windows only: fixes a scheduling bug with realtime folder mode that could prevent it from launching profiles.

New in Syncovery 6.12a Build 117 (Oct 2, 2012)

  • Fixes a problem where real-time folder mode would not sync the base folder (only subfolders).
  • Fixes Unicode handling in log files.

New in Syncovery 6.12 Build 116 (Oct 1, 2012)

  • Fixes a bogus error copying files and causing a “RETRY” that could happen when File Security Details was chosen for logging.
  • Fixes an access violation error when the Restore Wizard was used with a database as well as a folder pre-selection.

New in Syncovery 6.11 Build 115 (Oct 1, 2012)

  • Fixes a rare problem when using the volume shadowing setting “Use For All, Create Shadow Before Building File List”. On older Windows machines (especially Windows XP), it could occur that the volume shadow “goes away” while the file list is being built. In some cases, this could cause folders to be detected as deleted folders even though they still existed. This issue has been fixed.

New in Syncovery 6.10 Build 114 (Oct 1, 2012)

  • In the Profile Overview, you can now enable/disable all selected profiles at once.
  • Fixes a bug in real-time folder mode causing a message such as “‘abc’ is not a valid floating point value”.

New in Syncovery 6.07 Build 110 (Sep 13, 2012)

  • Shutdown on Windows XP has been fixed.
  • Additional information logged to the realtime status log (if enabled).
  • Profile information in the log files not includes the configuration file path as well as the last modification date and time of the profile.

New in Syncovery 6.06 Build 108 (Sep 13, 2012)

  • Implements a new functionality for real-time synchronization in conjunction with a time window. The program can now monitor the folders for changes all day long but do the copying only within the specified time window. To take advantage of this functionality the following settings need to be combined:
  • Schedule: no schedule on the Schedule tab sheet
  • Real Time Sync selected on the Monitoring/Realtime tab sheet
  • Real Time Settings: the checkbox “Run profile entirely once” must be deselected / “Process Complete Folders” must be chosen (on Windows only)
  • Weekdays and Time Window:
  • Specify the time window when it should do the copying.

New in Syncovery 6.05 Build 107 (Sep 13, 2012)

  • Fixes a WebDAV incompatibility.

New in Syncovery 6.03 Build 105 (Jul 24, 2012)

  • Windows: Fixes printing of the Sync Preview which was broken.
  • Windows: Adds a checkmark under Comparison->More: “Folder Attribute Comparison”. Because it is off by default, this fixes the bogus “attr->” action shown for folders when the destination volume does not support some folder attributes (such as Samba network drives)
  • Fixes an incompatibility with the Rumpus FTP server

New in Syncovery 6.02 Build 104 (Jul 9, 2012)

  • Fixes errors related to restoring files from a synthetic backup set as well as uploading to Microsoft Azure.

  • Adds a new checkmark on the General Filters tab sheet: Follow Junction Points / Symbolic Links to Folders.
  • Fixes the Restore Wizard never using a database for the file list.
  • The /RUNX= command line parameter can now use a * at the end when invoking SyncoveryService.exe.
  • When using rsync, you can now use – as username and password to indicate that no username or password is used.
  • Symbolic links in Windows user home directories are now ignored if they can’t be accessed (like V5 did).

New in Syncovery 6.00 (Jul 9, 2012)

  • New option on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet Misc: Show Notification Dialog If SmartTracking Renames a Conflicting File
  • Adds checkmark to protect files from being overwritten by zero-byte-sized files from the other side even if the empty files have a newer timestamp.
  • Additional Versioning settings allow to choose between the old .$1$. versioning and timestamp naming. In addition, one older file can be kept un-renamed in the Older folder. The program has been made smarter so that it can usually copy encoded filenames just fine without the user having to make the correct choices in terms of “Do Not Decode” under Versioning->More. In case of deletions, older files named .$1$. are now moved into the folder for deleted files along with the main file.
  • The Zip Compression Level can now be chosen.
  • Log file names now include the result summary (they are renamed when the profile completes). There’s also an option to delete logs with “Nothing to be done”.
  • Can use a standalone Firebird Server as an alternative to the embedded one.
  • Contains additional SmartTracking options for renaming conflicting files.
  • Loopholes in SSL and SSH certificate verification have been fixed. Existing jobs may have to be run manually in order to confirm the server identify (certificate fingerprints).
  • The ExtremeSync Remote Service has been updated to take folder selections and exclusions into account when generating a file list.
  • A global speed limit and group speed limits were added. The global speed limit is on the Advanced tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog. Group speed limits can be changed by right-clicking a profile. Inter-process communication is used to manage the bandwidths correctly even if some jobs are running in different processes (for example, in the foreground and in the background). You can change these bandwidths in the GUI and they will be communicated to running jobs, which will change their copying speed on the fly. To test this, you can open the main program (GUI) several times.
  • Support for advanced NTFS features: hard links, symbolic links and directory junctions can now be copied. Alternate Data streams are now always copied, even with folders.
  • Log files are now Unicode (UTF-8) and contain a list of all profile settings that are not default.
  • All profile settings can be accessed via command line, for example:
  • SuperFlexibleSynchronizer.exe ADD /Name=TestJob /Left=D:\ /Right=E:\ /L2R /RecycleDel=No /EmptyFol=No
  • To see a complete command line for a profile, choose Information->Show Profile Details in the profile.
  • Available commands: ADD, CHANGE, RENAME, DELETE, RUN
  • Google Docs uploads now use the resumable upload method with up to 10 GB in file size.
  • Profile export and import can now use CSV and XML files with all options human readable and editable. They can be imported via the GUI or a command line such as:
  • SuperFlexibleSynchronizer.exe /IMPORT="C:\Data\filename.xml"
  • In the profile, Information->Show Profile Details now shows all settings.
  • Amazon uploads can now be larger than 5GB. The part size for multipart uploads can be specified on the Program Settings dialog.
  • Rsync was added to the available Internet Protocols. You can choose to use it over SSH or directly.
  • The copying itself can now be done by invoking an external tool such as rsync.exe. This feature is configured via Job->Use External Copying Tool.
  • A new radio button was added to the “Move Files To Destination” mode: “Delete identical or older files from source”.
  • Duplicate filenames in the same folder on Google Docs can now automatically be cleaned up.
  • The Macintosh version now includes support for Microsoft Azure as well as two different WebDAV libraries, like the Windows version.
  • SCP support was added (on Mac & Windows). Files can now be transfered with SSH using scp rather than the SFTP subsystem, which is not available on all servers. To use this, choose the SSH protocol and the SCP library. There’s also a (slow) Pure SSH library which transfers files with the help of the base64 command, which you can use if not even scp is available.
  • SOCKS support for SSH/SFTP/SCP was added.
  • Windows only: adds IPv6 support for all included Internet Protocols. Adds SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support for FTP Library 2.
  • Windows only: new “Bypass File Buffering by Windows” checkmark was added under “Files” in the profile. This can speed up copying large files and can dramatically reduce memory usage by the system cache.
  • Adds a new “Folder Mode” for real-time synchronization on Windows (Mac has always been using “Folder Mode” only). This mode compares complete folders for which real-time events have occurred, rather than processing each file event individually. This may result in better performance depending on the amount of events, folders, and files.
  • The Restore Wizard can now find older versions of files in “Older” folders. Previously, it could find older versions only if the backup was made with Filename Encoding and all versions were in the main folder rather than a separate versioning folder.
  • Support for SITE UTIME was added to the FTP functionality in order to be able to set the uploaded filetimes with some FTP servers.

New in Syncovery 5.72 Build 306 (May 29, 2012)

  • Recognizes the new V6/Syncovery registration codes.

New in Syncovery 5.63 Build 292 (Jan 17, 2012)

  • Real-time sync will now create the monitored folders if they don't exist yet but can be created, rather than displaying "Waiting for availability".
  • In the Profile Overview, group checkmarks will now automatically reflect whether profiles in the group are chosen with checkmarks or not.
  • If moving into the folder for deleted files does not work on an FTP server because the same filename has been deleted previously, the file will be encoded with its timestamp so that it can be moved.
  • Recursive SSH listings now work with non-ASCII characters in the base path.

New in Syncovery 5.63 Build 292 (Jan 14, 2012)

  • Real-time sync will now create the monitored folders if they don't exist yet but can be created, rather than displaying "Waiting for availability".
  • In the Profile Overview, group checkmarks will now automatically reflect whether profiles in the group are chosen with checkmarks or not.
  • If moving into the folder for deleted files does not work on an FTP server because the same filename has been deleted previously, the file will be encoded with its timestamp so that it can be moved.

New in Syncovery 5.00 Build 8 Preview (Dec 30, 2009)

  • Differential Versioning Backup:
  • You can now combine Partial File Updating with Versioning, Zipping and Encryption and use it with any backup storage location, including FTP and other Internet Protocols.
  • Checkboxes to choose:
  • tab sheet Special: "Partial File Updating" (without Remote Service)
  • tab sheet Zipping: "Zip Each File Individually"
  • The option "Filename Encoding" on the Versioning tab sheet is automatically active in this use case.
  • The Zip file sizes can now be limited too so that large files can be split (only in conjunction with Partial File Updating). The transfer can be stopped any time and zip parts already uploaded won't be lost.
  • Be sure to keep all zip files on the destination as they may all be needed to reassemble the file upon restore. Any older version can be restored by choosing the desired target date in the Restore Wizard, or by right-clicking the file in the Sync Preview and choosing the desired version. The option "Keep multiple files" is implied and does not need to be checked. It cannot be used to limit the number of older versions. All older versions must be kept on the backup.
  • A method to limit the number of older files that need to be kept on the backup storage is currently being developed and suggestions on the best strategy are welcome.
  • Block-level copying is applied to files which are at least 400,000 bytes in size. The granularity of the differential backup is determined dynamically for each file, based on its size. The smallest block size used will be 2048 bytes.
  • Each partial backup includes an MD5 checksum for each file, so that restored files can be verified to be 100% correct. You can see this in the file MD5.TXT that the partial zips contain.

  • The handling of locked files has been improved when copying via an Internet Protocol and not zipping or encrypting.
  • Partial File Updating will no longer discard the checksum data when a copying attempt fails due to a locked file, so that next time the file can be copied, it will be copied partially.

New in Syncovery 4.70 Build 261 (Sep 8, 2009)

  • Revamped Monitoring Tool (in File Menu) allows complete supervision and control of other schedulers on the LAN/VPN, including remote editing and starting/stopping of jobs.
