About synchronization conflicts
What is a synchronization conflict?
A synchronization conflict occurs when a file has been changed on different computers since the Fileserver was last synchronized. When the Fileserver is synchronized, Nomadesk checks a number of properties of each file. These properties include, for example, the file size and the date and time when the was last saved, but also many more. If Nomadesk detects any discrepancies in these properties, you will be notified of a synchronization conflict.
Example of a situation in which a synchronization conflict can occur
Suppose you are editing a file “offline”, i.e. when you are not connected to the Internet. One of your team members may be editing the same file while he/she is online. The next time you synchronize your Fileserver, you will get a synchronization conflict.
How can you see that there is a synchronization conflict?
In Windows, in the lower right corner of your screen
In the Mac OS, in the upper right corner of your screen
You can also check the status of your Fileserver in the Nomadesk Dashboard, where it will read In Conflict.
