MegaSync re-uploads files from computer B after they have been deleted/moved/renamed on computer A #22

Open RiseT opened 8 years ago

OS: Windows 7, Windows 10, 64 bit MegaSync version: so far all (currently 2.9.6)

In the past, I've experienced this "vicious circle" numerous times in different situations.

  1. Computer A and computer B are fully synched
  2. I delete files or folders on computer A (issue mostly happens if this is a large amount of files/folders)
  3. Sync client of computer A updates the cloud storage
  4. Computer B notices that the files/folders exists locally but not in the cloud
  5. Computer B uploads the "missing" files/folders to the cloud
  6. Computer A notices that there are new files/folders in the cloud and downloads them
  7. I'm where I've started out again.

For one practical example, see https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/issues/304#issuecomment-231455692

I have the same issue with Windows + OS/X. I never had problem with multiple Windows installations syncing the same folder, but OS/X reuploaded old files repeatedly even after I removed them from Windows.

I also have this issue. I believe the problem might be related to having a dual boot system (MEGA storage is separate and not shared though) in which Windows has a different timestamp than Linux. Because I am frequently moving between OS and machines I don't always fix this issue promptly, and this may lead to some sync errors, since an updated file from Linux will have a later timestamp than an old file on Windows when I switch over.
