Resolving File Conflicts

Top

SmartSync Pro provides several options for resolving file conflicts. A conflict happens when the same file has been modified on both the Source Folder and the Destination Folder. There is an option in SmartSync Pro to handle file conflicts automatically or to prompt you for an action every time there is a conflict.

The Resolving File Conflicts dialog has the following controls:
