    After much successful syncing with SyncTime, which is a lovely app, it’s suddenly decided that none of the folders on my machine can be opened (every attempt to open a new “base” produces the message “The file could not be opened”). SyncTime has full disk access permissions.

    I’m running the latest version 4.12.3 (164) on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 (MacBook Pro 14, M1 Pro). I’ve successfully run operations with this version of the app up until the end of last week.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled it (twice, in fact!) using a full-fat uninstaller.

      It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue with macOS 15 that randomly prevents apps from accessing your files. This should have been fixed by Apple in macOS 15.1, so I would suggest that you update macOS and try if you still have any issues. You can read the technical discussion about the issue here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764435?answerId=806097022#806097022

    Is it possible to keep two external drives synced? They are not always connected, but when they are, they can be connected at a similar time. This is to edit media on one drive, and have it backed up on the other.

      Yes, it doesn’t matter if the drives are internal or external. If you’re unsure, you can always download SyncTime Lite for free from the App Store, which allows you to test all the features of SyncTime.

    Hi, I recently purchased SyncTime for a simple application. I use it to back up a very large folder (736GB) containing many other folders and files. Previously, this was a lengthy process that took about 6 hours, so I only did it weekly. Now with SyncTime I can backup daily, overnight. I think I have set it up correctly, but I occasionally get an error which alarmed me. It says, “Some source files will overwrite more recent destination files”. In my mind, that should not be possible. Could that be related to something I have done wrong?

    The other small issue is that I get a report most mornings that says what has happened in the previous night’s backup. It appears I have to OK that report each morning before it finishes the backup operation. Is there a way to make this automatic so that I don’t have to do the review, rather like Time Machine? Thanks, Garry

      Since the overwrite policy is set to „Overwrite if modification date or size is different“, it can happen that a source file is older than a destination file. You would have to change the overwrite policy or check what files are highlighted in yellow in the confirmation dialog to make sure if the older modification date on the source makes sense.

      Regarding the confirmation dialog, you can skip it automatically, as seen here: Sync confirmation dialog.
