Hi,

I use mainly FFS (Mac OS) with two-way sync between my laptop and a remote server. When folders/files are deleted on the server manually (or through a sync by another user, with FFS Windows or SyncBack) and I run a two-way sync, FFS wants to upload those files again from my laptop to the server, instead of deleting them locally and leave the server unchanged. Is there any setting I could enforce to change this behaviour? Thanks!

I suspect that the sync.ffs_db file on the server is modified by some other application (probably SyncBack) and this explains why FFS behaves like it is synchronizing the pair for the first time. Excluding sync.ffs_db from your synchronization with SyncBack will fix the issue.
