Old versions of Documents replacing new versions
I have two laptops, Windows 8.1 (my main device) and Windows 10 which I rarely use. 8.1 had to go into a repair shop so i set about setting up dropbox on W10 with dropbox. It had some old files on it from the last synch several months back. When i checked on the synch - and luckily for me it was very slow - i found that W10 was uploading the old files to my dropbox account (instead of download everything from dropbox as I had expected it to do) which was then downloading the old files to my main 8.1 machine. I unlinked W10 pc very quickly from dropbox otherwise all my new files on the 8.1 would have been replaced with the old version from w10 and months of work lost. I never expected this to happen. It's very strange. Surely there must be a flaw with dropbox. Surely there should be some mechanism to check file properties and the synch should only upload/download documents that are not already on the server account. I now need to use both laptops, one in the office and one on the move so files need to be all synched properly on both laptops but how can i be sure old won't replace new?Solved6.5KViews0likes12Comments
