Hi everybody!
I'm wondering why FFS sometimes creates duplicate files with (conflicted) appended to the name. So, I end with two identical files, such as foo.xls and foo (conflicted).xls!
I just can't understand what circumstances cause this, and it's pretty annoying...
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I haven't ever seen that behavior myself. Can you provide screenshots of you source/destination and settings?

Amendment: It may be caused by two sources containing a file with the same name and so it doesn't know which to use.

This is not coming from FreeFileSync.

Is this file contained in a folder synced by DropBox or Onedrive or another cloud variant?

Thank you to all of you! I did think the culprit was FFS, but as Gianni suggested, I'll look towards Pcloud which is also active on these directories.
Have a nice day.
