onedrive 17.3.6743.1212 duplicate file issues
Hi,
I have multiple pc's with onedrive 17.3.6743.1212 installed.
On those pc's, I have some issues reported with files that get duplicated and extended with the pc name.
I see this only with word, excel and outlook items at this moment, and only on document libraries of team sites (next to onedrive this is the only functionality we are using at the moment).
How do I troubleshoot this?
example:
filename.docx
filename_pc_xx.docx
filename_pc_xx_pc_xx.docx
filename_pc_xx_pc_xx_pc_xx.docx
....
and this goes on until onedrive throws an error that the filepath is too long and crashes.
Kind Regards
Stijn

That should happen when there is a conflict, i.e. several users trying to save a different copy of the same file.
Such behavior is determined by the attached setting (in Italian).
Ciao Salvatore. I saw the attach in Italian :-) I am Italian too.
That picture refer to the Windows version. Uhm... in the Mac version there isn't the tab Office.
Microsoft told that the two version will be equal, but not in this case.
Someone know about this function for Mac?
Thanks
Ciao Vincenzo. Io non ho il Mac, quindi non ti posso aiutare. Mi dispiace...
- I found these settings already, before sync started I disabled the top option.
Duplicate files keep showing though (multiple users).Disabling the top option (i.e. "Use Office 2016...") disables coauthoring, hence increasing chances of conflicts in case of concurrent access by multiple users, which is what is apparently happening...
Out of curiosity, why did you disable the top option?
