Job wants to keep the OLDEST version of a file

Hi there,

I'll write down all the steps I did before noticing the behavior, just for clarity. I honestly don't know if the behavior was there before or not.

1. Connect to a Google account
2. Update the sync job to use Google Drive as one of the paths
3. Compare the folders for the first time

The outcome of the comparison is that FFS wants to replace the NEWER files with the OLDER. See image below:

As you can see the interface correctly says that the file on the left is newer, and yet it suggests to update it. Note that the left side is the local path while the right side is on Google Drive.
Am I missing something or is there something wrong?

Can you attach a picture of your sync settings(F8)?

You are indeed correct, sir. I changed the mode to "Mirror" and now the behavior makes more sense.

Thanks ;)
