versions duplicate folder potential issue

[alexm888]

Hi. I’ve noticed a potential versioning issue.
If we mirror the root folders of both files — Documents\doc.txt and Desktop\doc.txt — the system won’t be able to create distinct versions for both files saved on the same day, since they’ll end up with identical version names. I don’t understand why the versioning process doesn’t include the root folders, as that would avoid this problem.

There seem to be at least two ways to solve your problem.

1)
Run your two separate syncs sequentially, each to a separate Versioning location, e.g.
[PathToYourOriginalVersioningLocation]\Documents
respectively
[PathToYourOriginalVersioningLocation]\Desktop

2)
Apply local settings for the Versioning location via the right gear-icon mid between your two left-right pairs, and define your Versioning locations as
[PathToYourOriginalVersioningLocation]\Documents
respectively
[PathToYourOriginalVersioningLocation]\Desktop

3)
If the parent folder of the Documents and the Desktop folder is one and the same
(usually C:\Users\[UserName] )
you can mirror sync said parent folder to your (then single) destination, and modify your Include Filter from
* (=everything)
into
\Documents\
\Desktop\
and leave your Versioning location at [PathToYourOriginalVersioningLocation]
