Profile Properties — Synchronization Conflicts
File Date/Time Conflict
This option enables AllSync to recognize the following conflicts with regard to files of the same name located in the same source and destination folder structure:
The following options are available for this situation:
- The modified date of the files has changed since the last sync operation
- Both files have been added since the last sync operation and possess a different modified date
- A file has been replaced by an older version (modified date) at the source or destination
The following options are available for this situation:
Don't copy either file
This option causes neither of the two files to be copied. You can additionally activate the suboption Ask which file is to be copied during a copy operation.Copy file from source folder
This option causes the file in the destination folder to be overwritten by the file in the source folder.Copy file from destination folder
This option causes the file in the source folder to be overwritten by the file in the destination folder.Create copy of the two files in the source and destination folder
This option causes a duplicate of the source and destination to be created with the file extension .COPY on the other side. The file extension of the copy can be freely selected by you. All other files with this file extension are automatically filtered and excluded from the copy operation. You can also specify that existing copies are to always be overwritten.
Structure Conflict
This option enables you to prevent files and folders from being recreated when they have been deleted, moved or renamed at the source or destination since the last sync operation.
This option causes any files or folders of the same name on the other side to be automatically deleted providing they have not changed since the last sync operation.
Otherwise they are recreated in the folder on the other side.
Structure conflict detection can be individually activated for files and folders and additionally limited to the contents of source or destination folders.
Source + Destination
When a file has been deleted in the source or destination folder, this same file is also deleted in the folder on the other side as well.Source
When a file has been deleted in the destination folder, this same file is also deleted in the source folder as well.
When a file has been deleted in the source folder, this same file is NOT deleted in the destination folder and is recopied to the source folder.
Destination
When a file has been deleted in the source folder, this same file is also deleted in the destination folder as well. When a file has been deleted in the destination folder, this same file is NOT deleted in the source folder and is recopied to the destination folder.
Note: File Date/Time Conflict & Structure Conflict
File date and structure conflicts can't be detected unless you have performed at least one copy operation using the profile.
After a copy operation AllSync stores a reference list of all the files and folders of the source and destination folders for the next sync operation in a file called "profilename.arl".
The Reset Reference List button enables the file containing the reference list to be deleted.
