X11 User Library Conflict

[JMorelli]

Has anyone been having issues with saving their user library to the cloud? Specifically Google Drive?

 

I've noticed some items won't sync b/w devices & I've also had textures go missing. The Cloud folder has additional files being created by Chief titled 'User_Library[Conflict]'

 

Would love to know why this is occurring.

Make sure all your libraries on your various computers point to the same folders. I've been using DropBox for years with no glitches.

A restricted search will bring you a lot of regards to this,it has to do with file authoring and ownership...if one machine is trying to author a file while another is trying to download the same file it will often times result in conflicting copies.

@Adam_Gibson - Both machines are set up to use the same folder/directory so I don't think this is the issue.

@Renerabbitt - This sounds like it could be the cause. I might have opened up chief before the file had synced to my machine. Will have to do some more testing. Thanks

Hi Rene I checked out your youtube video downloading the sync link, however the link did not come up when right clicking the user library folder.

Is this a windows set up ?
