RUNBOOK · tresorit/conflict-files4 FIXES

// quick answer

When two people or devices change the same file before syncing, Tresorit keeps both versions and names the second one with "user@email.com's conflict". Compare the two, keep the right one and delete the conflict copy.

Most likely fix: Compare and merge

  1. FIX 1Compare and merge

    1. 01Open both the original and the conflict file
    2. 02Copy any changes you need into one version

  2. FIX 2Delete the extra copy

    1. 01Delete the version you don't need
    2. 02Rename the kept file back to the original name if needed
    Did this fix it?
  3. FIX 3Use version history if you picked wrong

    2. 02Restore an earlier version
