I am facing this same problem on our iMacs, we are 3 Designers working on 3 different computers Synchronising the files via Sharepoint and this problem is making me crazy... still there is no solution?
I believe that this issue may be slightly different. If the applications doesn't understand OneDrive synchronization requirements, then its going to happen.
The Office apps, understand that multiple people can be editing a file at the same time. They know how to merge the data together into a single document.
Other applications, like Notepad don't know how to do this. Open in three computers, make different changes and you get three files or less with questionable results.
Hi Ed
We deal with adobe illustrator and photoshop documents only, and everything was going fine for years, but suddenly with no apparent reason, this problem start occurring. Even if we are 3 designers, we NEVER EVER do modifications to a same file at the same time, so that is why this issue is weird for us us.
- Do you confirm that each file has been synced when closing and dates confirmed before opening on another system?
