There is already a file with that name in the destination. Either remove one of the copies or rename one of them.

Appears ? the "prefixes" of the file names are different?

The "_GlaceEorzea #Clear Bright.png" part looks to be the same.
(Looks can be deceiving ;-).)
But the prefixed ISO 8601 date part is different - if that's what the issue is - based on the visible parts of the file names.

It completes the synchronization after I deleted somefiles.
and..I tried to put these files back to sync, the same problem again.

I think maybe It's because of these files' names
please help me check them is ok

The issue is there are multiple files with the same name on your Google Drive. FFS doesn't allow this, but Google Drive does. So you need to open Google Drive and delete the duplicate variants manually.

Sorry, I was confusing the error message with "The name %x is used by more than one item in the folder.".

It's okay. I think it's because of the file name. I'll try changing all the filenames later and try again a few times.

But since windows supports this naming scheme, FFS should support it too.
