Just got a big fright... using the last version of FFS ( not the most recent, just updated now ).. on Catalina 10.15.7 ( latest version).. this version was recently updated..

Synced a folder of FCPX projects, one of which was new... the new project was deleted from the master drive and the backup!!! scary.. global searches showed it nowhere on any drive.. it was gone..
I made a new folder and did backup and the same happened both gone...
I somehow managed to find the deleted files on the backup drive in a strange subfolder ( trash/501)
there was no way to find this folder with the regular browser..
Needless to say I'm scared to use ffs again but it's part of my daily backup routine..
Any idea what went wrong?

What type of Sync were you using?

Did the logs give any indication as to what went on?

Is your trash bin working correctly?
As in if you delete a file, does it end up in your trash bin, & then can you successfully empty your trash bin?

I'm not familiar with Mac, but, mac catalina trash/501.

Thanks for getting back... I was using mirror... my trash seems to be working but I think you might be onto something with that link... I've since (nervously) run the most recent update and all went well.. I don't have time to dig too deep so fingers crossed.. very worrying!
Thanks again
