I discovered only two relevant discussions: the FreeFileSync forum and the RaspberryPi community. Neither provided a solution, as the FFS version is designed for Linux Debian but not compatible with the ARM processor of the Raspberry Pi. The issue lies in adapting the source code for that specific architecture.

Get the file, pull it out, go to FreeFileSync/Source and execute "make -j5"

^ Probably not, but it might help to verify if your chosen Pi distribution includes all necessary headers. Try a real Linux distro or WSL with an ARM cross-compiler, build binaries locally, then review required dependencies before compiling.

You're starting from scratch with Debian and a Raspberry Pi 4B. Your goal is to sync files between Google Drive and your local WD Share using Freefilesync, and you're also looking into running it on Qnap. It's a solid plan—just make sure to test each step carefully!
