SBF does not show anything in directories dropdown list

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

SBF does not show anything in directories dropdown list

Post by Manoel »

I am a new user, so this may be simple.
I selected for synchorizaton, then at the subsequent screen when you are supposed to select left and righ directories, the dropdown list shows nothing.
What am I missing?

Tks,

Manoel

HI are you referring to this New Profile window/dialog?

If so , this is a resource-type selector dialog. You don't enter the location/s of the resources at this stage, only the resource type/s (and what you select here determines if SB asks any more info, such as FTP server details). If you are not trying to use FTP on either side, simply click Done to exit the wizard and switch to the general ('Simple') profile settings screen, where you can click the folder icons next to the (in your case, as you are setting up a Sync) Left & Right input boxes (extreme top of Simple window) to navigate to the desired R & L paths. (Or, you can type the drive spec/path strings directly into the R & L boxes if you are an accurate typist).

If you press F1 (or click Help) with the resource selector dialog on-screen, the Help will open at a section that describes the process in detail including the various stages.

If this is not the window/dialog you mean, suggest provide a screenshot of the stage you are referring to.
