Syncovery (64-bit)

What's new in this version:

Syncovery 9.06 (64-bit)
- 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


Syncovery 9.05 (64-bit)
- 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
- Fixes a problem that could occur if the folder for deleted files was on the top level of a cloud strage (such as /Deleted)
- Fixes progress reporting for larger file uploads to MEGA
- Fixes setting timestamps via TGPuttyLib reporting errors despite being successful
- Additional fixes


Syncovery 9.04 (64-bit)
- 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


Syncovery 9.03 (64-bit)
- Change log not available for this version


Syncovery 9.02 (64-bit)
- 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
- Fixes dialog element sizes when using the “Enlarge user interface” feature
- Fixes accessing Google Drive Shared Drives with Chinese and other International characters in the drive name
- Adds support for default user rights when using the integrated User Management feature (via an INI file entry like NewUserRights=,5,6,8,)
- Fixes the obsolete SCP and the experimental “Pure SSH” protocols
- 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


Syncovery 9.01 (64-bit)
- 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”
- Background jobs run by the scheduler will now also show the copying rate
- Various additional improvements


Syncovery 9.00 (64-bit)
- 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.
