Fix Cloud Sync Creating Duplicate Files — How to Resolve with RcloneView
Cloud sync that produces duplicate files signals a specific configuration mistake — RcloneView's job type settings and Folder Compare make it straightforward to diagnose, clean up, and prevent recurrence.
Cloud sync operations that produce duplicate files — copies with the same name but different modification timestamps, or files with suffixes like -copy or (1) — compound storage costs with every run and signal an underlying configuration problem. RcloneView uses rclone's deterministic sync engine, and when duplicates appear, the root cause is almost always job type mismatch, conflicting operations, or bidirectional sync conflicts.
