Conflicts in Open Bee™ Sync appear when a file is modified on the server and the corresponding file is modified locally between synchronizations.
To explain the notion of conflict, we will consider the following tree structure for synchronized folders :
– Company 1
– Company 2
– Society 3
Conflict Cases

- Recreated file (deleted and dropped another one with the same name) locally ; Modified matching file on the server
- Recreated file (deleted and dropped another one with the same name) locally ; Matching file deleted from the server
- Recreated file (deleted and dropped another one with the same name) locally ; Matching file is deleted, another file is renamed to the corresponding folder on the server with the same name as the local file
