Hi Nancy:  I don't use the camera upload feature at all so I'm not sure how it happened other than it must have occurred as a result of reinstalling the app on the Macbook Air M1.

 

However I noticed that the the two folders - non conflicted and conflicted - were also present on the iPad.  However on the iPad it is possible to delete the one labelled 'conflicted'.  Since there were no images in either folder I simply deleted the  'conflicted' one.  That appears to have propagated through to the other devices.  All that appears in the sync prefs is a de-selected camera uploads folder.  

 

So far all appears well.

    Hi Tacitus24, thanks for the update!

     

    If the folder had no content in it, you did well for deleting it. In any case, keep an eye out, and let us know of any updates.
