![]() I really feel that there are more elegant solutions than what is currently happening.įreeFileSync does handle upload correctly, though. I'd like to have my Minecraft sync just run in a script every time I close Minecraft, but I can't, because if all the updated world files aren't downloaded correctly on another system, then my world will be messed up, and now I will have conflicts. Instead, it just refuses, and this can cause problems. I could see an option being added to handle this, or at least FreeFileSync giving a prompt during (or right after) sync to ask which file to use. However, sometimes I will be forced to go into Drive myself and delete duplicates, because FreeFileSync just refuses to download either file, without either a) checking the file contents (in my case, the duplicates are almost always either the same as each other, or one of them is newer) or b) checking the date modified of each file and using the newest file. I use FreeFileSync to keep my Minecraft information synced between multiple computers. Normally, when uploading a file to Google Drive manually, it asks if you'd like to merge it with the existing file or save it as a new file (which appends a (1), like all filesystems should.) However, it's still possible to have multiple files with the same name simply by renaming files or, seemingly, also by using FreeFileSync. ![]() Either it forces a user to look at the file contents to determine which is which all the time, or it causes computer programs to get confused about which file to use, and this includes FreeFileSync. It is supposed to merge them into one file with different version, but as I have seen happen multiple times, this isn't always the case.įirst of all, why the hell does a file management platform even allow that in the first place?! It's just confusing no matter which angle you look at it. So, basically, if you don't already know, Google Drive allows multiple files to have the same filename. ![]() I would just like to express some concerns with Google Drive, and also hopefully kickstart something to have FFS work around Drive's stupid problems until such time as the Drive team realizes how stupid they are. ![]()
