Conflicts - "both sides have changed".... what does this mean?

[roadstar]

I just did a sync which (besides the actual new and updated files) reported this -
851 conflicts - "both sides have changed" etc.... what does this mean?
I haven't touched these particular directories or files on either my main or backup hard drive.
I have had this happen before also, but I always deselect them when doing the actual sync.

Thanks.

It means both copies of the files have changed since the last sync. FFS doesn't know which copy you want to keep until you tell it what to do

Thanks. Yes this is logical, but the point is, I have not changed or touched those files in any way whatsoever, so how could they possibly have changed?

That is a good question that, unfortunately, you will have to investigate to figure out. Something changed them. What path are the files located? All in the same place? Common parent directory? What antivirus are you running?
