SharePoint files duplicating with Computer Name suffix
Hi there,
My users have synced a SharePoint folder so that they can upload and access files via their File Explorer. This issue is occurring when users are uploading their files via Filer Explorer
When files are getting uploaded there are instances where the computer name is added as a suffix, and then repeats until the file is saved multiple times in the folder with all previous versions corrupted. I haven't been able to re create this error myself and it's only happening intermittently so I thought it may have been an issue with the user or file type, but I've heard that it's happening occasionally to others. Has anyone seen this or overcome this? I've found this article but it has not resolved the issue.

- It turns out there was a Flow that was causing this issue. The trigger was 'when a file is created/modified' and then i had a 2 minute delay before performing the actions. This was not allowing enough time for syncing to occur so I have since increased to a 4 minute delay and have not seen this issue re appear
Kelly_Edinger Thanks for the response, I don't have the office tab visible in my onedrive settings which is annoying. It seems this issue is popping up a little bit based off some questions out there that i can't see why it's disappeared.
The Sync Centre in control panel as well doesn't have the option to choose to merge changes or keep both copies.- Did You find any solution for the same. I in my Officer(Workplace) facing the same issues in a Network Connected all 3 PC's.
