Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

It's such an edge case that I don't even feel comfortable asking for it. Thanks a bunch for giving your time getting to the root of the problem. For now, I'll try to keep files ASCII-only.

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

Ah. Makes sense. And there is nothing I can do about that, I guess?

By the way, thanks a bunch for the support.

Edit: Well, except using only ASCII characters perhaps?

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

Here you go. Picked one folder with few files.

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

I did this and found no difference. Then I started trying all kinds of different files and folders and found a pattern. It seems to only happen on Box.com folders (that are synced to the cloud) and not on local folders and only with folders and files that have non-standard ASCII characters, such as ...

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

Sorry, forgot to let you know that I already upgraded to FFS 8.2 (I was able to borrow another Windows computer to put 8.2 on a flash drive and copy to this computer).

I don't think it's a minor difference as it's on all my folders and files in all projects that I'm mirroring from Sharepoint to Box ...

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

Thanks. Since this happens with all the files in all directories it's surely something in how Sharepoint and Box.com handle the files? I'm guessing this is something out of your (or my) control?

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

The configuration file is pasted below. (GlobalSettings.xml) — note that I removed information about my folders and files. Attached is a screenshot with irrelevant blurred out. You can see an example of three files in the same folder with the same size that haven't been touched and show the same ...

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

What exactly do you need?

- GlobalSettings.xml?
- The front screen with the comparison results?
- Synchronization Settings?

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

They are categorised as "Item exists on left side only" and "Item exists on right side only". Very strange. An example right in front of me is:

Mirroring from left to right side:
- Left side: "Relative path": "Documents\Technical documents\Costs.xlsx"
- Right side side: "Relative path": "Documents ...

Re: Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

As an update I've tested the same scenario with FFS 8.2 and the problem remains. And to clarify, syncing from Sharepoint to my local computer works fine but syncing from either Sharepoint or local computer to the Box.com folder is still causing FFS to want to replace most files. There is something ...

Possible problems using FreeFileSync with Sharepoint and Box.com

I understand that this may be an edge case but I just wanted too see if anyone knew what my problems are.

The scenario: I'm trying to mirror a folder on Sharepoint to a folder on my local computer that is synced to the cloud using Box.com. This folder is then synced using Box.com to a Mac. I'm ...
