Dropbox is creating duplicate files as opposed to GoodSync
Hi. I have been using GoodSync for a few years. I have 3 licenses and use it to sync between 3 desktops and 1 laptop.
Lots of the data is not suitable for Dropbox (Essentials) storage and s...
Now our whole Practice Documents folder (1000s of docs) has a "conflicted copy". And dropbox has no conflict resolution???
How does it make the conflict determination? Is it timestamp or the mere presence of two files of the same name?
How could a whole folder end up conflicted? Folders aren't opened in themselves.
I'm not interested in dropping Goodsync in favor of DP Paper. Some change in your software has made a complete mess of our entire practice documents, that had been seamless for 20 years.
So now I see why the FileName(1) problem came about.
Dropbox lacks an overwrite warning. Usually users are copying indentically named files to overwrite. Instead of notifying the user (asking), DB takes the liberty of creating a second file while the user has no idea what just happened unless they browse the folder and see.
I've got workarounds for all of this now. The last thing I am really lost on is how to track the different folders that are created for a shared user. I shared a folder named CollectIt and now he's on CollectIt(3). I don't see those folders in Windows explorer or the Dropbox webpage.
Feels like I have no control over what's going on.
