- rocky1138 11y agoI haven't had too many. About the same as Dropbox, I think. From memory, I believe it appends -conflicted-BLABLA's-copy or some such to the filename. Conveniently, it has a built-in backup system you can enable that keeps the last 'n' copies of files. I've got mine set to 5 so even if something goes horribly wrong, I can fetch from the backup.
- rahimnathwani 11y agoI would still worry without offline backups. Malware or a malicious actor could delete the built-in backups from _all_ sync'ed devices by modifying each file 6 times.
