Hi :)
I'm getting this warning:
Some files will be synchronized as part of multiple folder pairs.
To avoid conflicts, set up exclude filters so that each updated file is included by only one folder pair.
Z:\ 💾 Fotos\2005
Z:\Fotos 👓 2005
Yes, with these icons... and it affects over 100k files...
I know what it is trying to say, overlapping folder structures I guess? But that's not the case for me. I have no overlapping stuff. And left and right have also the same structure.
So what is going on here?

If you show us your left and right base-location pair(s) and your In- and Exclude Filter settings, we may be able to point out where the problem rests.

Your 1st left-right pair is empty. I don't know if that can cause problems.
Nevertheless, I would delete any empty left-right pairs (via the red minus-icon in front of it).
Your 2nd pair is D:\001 <=> Z:\.
Your further pairs each have a different subfolder of Z:\ as their right-side location.
Because any subfolder of Z:\ is part of your 2nd pair's entire Z:\ , there is your overlap.
You have no In- or Exclude Filter rules to cover that.
The simplest way to solve this is to change your 2nd left-right pair
from D:\001 <=> Z:\ into D:\001 <=> Z:\001.
Then each pair syncs with a different location on Z:\ ; no more overlaps.
