"Warning : failed to set time" means that the file system has not the feature of setting the last modified time.
BestSync can still synchronize with the file system correctly, but it is better if you use a file system that supports modifying the last modified time.

Hello,

thank you for your answer.
What file system should I use to be able to modify the "last modified time" ? (on Linux and Windows)

Thx,

Philippe

Could you please export the task setting to a file then send it to risefly@risefly.com, so that we can give you more advice.
Few FTP servers and a few cloud storages do not support "setting file time". FAT, NTFS, Network Drives support "setting file time".
