Solved: HBS 3 filters out files although no filters have seen setup

I wonder if anyone else is having similar issues

I synced my files using HBS 3 to Google Cloud Storage. Sync executed successfully without any errors or warning but I noticed that the summary page informed me that the job has filtered over 1.8k files out although no filters have been setup.

Has anyone else seen similar behavior ?

Are they global filters that get applied to all sync jobs ?

I did submitted a support ticket but hoping there is a simple solution to see.

No. Plenty of Skipped files are normal and expected but not filtered files.

I'm not using any cloud services though, only other servers.

Ok I found my issue. I had selected not to sync hidden files and folders. Those files and folders are counted towards the filter number. Once I deselected that options my filter number went down to zero.

Technically it is okay to count filtered files, although, it would be less confusing if the job overview would have a row telling, filtered hidden files and folders and this would then end the confusion. I also was trying to find out what does this mean and I also have now enabled to backup the hidden files and folders.

It is the complexity of the things that makes things so overcomplex.
