Obelix27 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 If a file is updated on two offline PCs, and then the PCs go online and are sync'd, there is clearly a conflict. It appears that the most recent file gets copied across, and the old file gets put in .Sync\Archive with any deleted files. How then is it possible to look out for conflicts (and not deleted files)? I have never seen a ".Conflict" added to the filename as the Help suggests can occur in some circumstances. The only possible help that I can find is that subsequent conflicts seem to cause a .1 .2 .3 .4 etc. to be put before the file extension. But how is it possible to spot that first conflict - no ".0" is added!?? This seems to be a pretty fundamental problem. I hope there is some sort of solution, even if it involves looking log files or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Maybe this helps https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/204753629-Conflict-files-in-Sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix27 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thanks. I had seen this but unfortunately it doesn't help for the situation I describe where the same file on two offline systems are both updated, and then the systems go online to sync. It would be GREAT if a file with ".conflict" were created (as in your link, also Dropbox does this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Maybe check the setting per peer in the power user settings https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/207371636-Power-user-preferences if any conflict setting is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix27 Posted June 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I have looked through these options and I can't see anything that would help. Was there a specific option you had in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
