There are certain situations in which the state of the files means that it’s unclear what action Synk should take, or in which simply copying the version with the most recent modification date could result in data loss:
- When a file has been modified in more than one location since the last sync
- When a file has been modified in one location and deleted from another (synchronization only)
- When a file is new, but there are (new) copies in more than one location which have different modification dates (synchronization only)
- When the copy of a file in the destination has a newer modification date than the copy in the source (backup only)
By default, when Synk detects one of these conflicts, it flags it in the file list so you can choose what action you want it to take.
To resolve a conflict:
- Select the item in the file tree to show information on the item in the details area below the file tree.
- Decide on an action, then choose it from the action pop-up menu for the item.
- Click the checkmark button to its right to confirm the choice and have Synk start executing the action.
