GUIDE 31 OF 42 · CLOUD SYNC & BACKUP

Handle a sync conflict

Decide what happens when a file changed both on your device and in the cloud.

  1. Open Settings → Sync & Backup → Sync and find Conflict Resolution.
  2. Choose a rule: Ask User (the default), Use Local Version, Use Cloud Version or Keep Both Versions.
  3. With Ask User, a file in conflict is not synced until you decide. Pending Conflicts shows how many are waiting.
  4. Tap Sync Conflicts. For each file you see the Local and Cloud copies with their date and size.
  5. Tap Use local, Use cloud or Keep both.
  • With Keep Both Versions as the rule, your device’s copy is kept as name.local.tex and the cloud copy takes the original name.
