Advanced Sync with DropBox using FolderSync

Please see DropBox sync with FolderSync to start using FolderSync. Once it is setup, there are 2 settings that you really need to make for it to work the way you expect:

  1. If conflicting modifications = Overwrite oldest
    Without this setting, it is possible to edit a file on both computers and get stuck in a never-never land where it reports “conflict errors” and won’t sync the file.
  2. Preserve files = Disabled
    The instructions say to “Set this if missing files are not to be deleted in sync. Disable at your own risk.” Without this setting, it is impossible to rename or delete a file, it just keeps getting downloaded again.
