What is a conflicted file copy?

A conflict can occur when two people have uploaded the same file at the same time. Sync will log each one as a different version. It will save the original file as well as a second version which has the same name but is appended with “conflict”. By creating a conflicted file, Sync ensures that all changes are preserved and nobody will overwrite another person’s work.

How can conflicted copies be prevented?

A simple way to prevent a conflict is to move the file out of the Sync folder when working on it.  Doing this causes the file to appear as deleted and doesn’t allow other users to edit the file. Once done, simply move the file back into its original location in the Sync folder and the new version will appear on everyone’s account.
