Hello,
I'd like to ask if it is possible when using versioning to keep the new file in the current folder. Right now I have to specify directory where are the version files stored but maybe there is some option how to keep it in the same folder ? Something with %% ?
Thank you
Martin

You can specify a directory in the main folder if you want. Make sure to exclude it from the sync by using the filter settings. If you are wanting to have the file versions themselves stay in the main folder, you can I guess... I wouldn't recommend that, but you would want to use the 'update' sync method so the versioned files aren't deleted or copied back to source. You would just specify the versioning directory as the actual folder you are syncing to

actually I'm doing sync in one direction only so no exclusion should be needed.
However I'm not sure how should I configure this -> if I won't specify full path but only dir name - it will be created in current directory where the duplicate has been found ?

Syncing 'in one direction' doesn't mean anything, that could be mirror method or update method. Mirror method is 100% not going to work if you put versioned files in the destination. If you create a folder in the destination to contain versions, you need to exclude it in the settings.
What? Yes you have to specify the full path to the location you want versions to be, just make it be the destination folder itselfHowever I'm not sure how should I configure this -> if I won't specify full path but only dir name - it will be created in current directory where the duplicate has been found ?
