The best advice - if you're syncing files between multiple operating system types - is to ensure file names only contain characters which are valid for file names across all operating systems. For syncing to Windows operating systems from non-Windows OS's, that means ensuring none of the following characters are present in your non-Windows OS filenames: \ / : * ? " < > | Also, pay attention to the letter case of file names. Some OSs will allow "TEST.txt" and "test.txt" to co-exist in the same folder as two separate files. Windows, however, would see these two files as the same, and cause a conflict when syncing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
