I have several clients that have found their files (protected by iFolder) in their conflict bin. On the surface it would only be there if created on that computer but deleted from another. They are telling me that the files are not being deleted on the other computer. Is it possible that the server is sending a delete command? Has anyone seen this happen before. I haven't seen any posts on the forums.
A:
We're not sure, but we think it depends on how the file is written by an application, We can imagine a situation where the application deletes the file and then writes a new file. This might cause the deleted file to get placed in the conflict bin because of the delete, then the new file is downloaded.
