If the removable storage does not have a Volume Name already, then in File Manager right click it and select rename If it is set up as it is supposed to be it will be fail safe, I have synced many storage devices and other devices and PCs for many years and never had a problem.

But one then clicks on the arrow to the right of the path and selects the Volume Name MYCARD (which FFS will have recovered from the card) and the synchronize side path will change to :\MyFolder. So, for example, if the Volume Name of the SD card is MYCARD and the drive letter happens to be F: and the first folder on it to be used is MyFolder then the path on the synchronize side in FFS will be when one browses to it in FFS show as F:\MyFolder. Using them will lead to problems.įor removable storage one uses the storage's Volume Name. If above is useless because you are not in a windows environment, please specify what you are usingįor removable storage one does not use drive letters at all in the synchronize side path and copying the path from File Explorer will not fix any drive letter changing problem. ( forget about using some previously saved spec, windows has probably mounted the SD card to a different drive letter this time around as its a removable drive, it gets the 1st available letter if removed, then remounted) find the SD card using widnwos then find it using the same navigation with ffs fiolder browser find the sd card using windows file explorer, copy the exact path, paste it into FFSĢ. Its a windows app with a windows style file explorerġ.
