FreeFileSync is distributed in various editions (as of 2024-02-06) namely:
- Standard edition
- Donation edition
- Business edition
More information can be found at: https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#editions
This package is based on the source code distributed by Zenju on the website
of the application at https://freefilesync.org/ which is very close to the
Standard edition. Actually, some sensitive information are not distributed in
that source code.
Some modifications are applied to the original source package. The changes
visible to the end user are:
- deactivate "Google Drive" feature. The credentials required to authenticate
with Google's servers are not distributed in the source package.
- disable automatic check for updates (as required by the Debian policy)
- add a suffix " for Debian" in the "About" window. This permits one to
differentiate it from the binary package shipped by upstream.
Concerning the Google Drive deactivation, if you need this feature you can:
- use the official binary version shipped on https://freefilesync.org/
(either Standard, Donation or Business)
- rebuild this package yourself by specifying the credentials required by
google's servers to start OAuth2 negotiation. These have to be set in the
source code of FreeFileSync at this location:
File: FreeFileSync/Source/afs/gdrive.cpp
Functions:
getGdriveClientId() { return ...}
getGdriveClientSecret() { return ...}
Please note that these are not the credentials of your Google account, but
credentials for the application. See also

Known bug on backports that use wxwidgets 3.0 + gtk 3
-----------------------------------------------------
Bug #1063469: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063469
If your screen resolution is 1024x768 (or any other width but a height of
768) and if you use the default Gtk theme named Adwaita you may encounter
a crash when opening the options window (Tools menu | Options). It is
likely this is in relation with wxwidgets-3.0 + gtk3 + some specific
theme installed. It seems related to computation of the sizes for display
on screen. Maybe this happens in other conditions or screen resolutions
depending on your theme and layout.
The workaround is to use another GTK Theme (another than Adwaita). It
works with Numix, Yuyo, Greybird... The command would be (provided you
have installed the package for it: numix-gtk-theme).
GTK_THEME=Numix FreeFileSync
