ownCloud – How to Resolve File Conflicts

Step 1: ⇄ Compare the Files

In the image below, you can see two versions of the functions.php file:

• One with a conflict.
• One without.

The two files usually have different dates and file sizes. You’ll need to decide which version to keep:

• Do you need the older version?
• Or do you prefer the newer version?

Step 2: 🗑️ Delete the Unwanted File

Remove the version you no longer need to prevent future syncing issues.

Step 3: ✏️ Rename the Conflict File (If Keeping It)

If you’re keeping the file with the conflict, rename it to remove the conflict tag. For example:

Change:

functions_conflict-20171124-112832.php

To:

functions.php

This will ensure ownCloud treats it as the original file.

Step 4: ✅ Verify the Conflict is Resolved

After renaming or deleting, the conflict should be resolved.

If you’re still seeing conflict messages:

• Check the folder that ownCloud is syncing with.
• Look for other conflicting files and repeat the steps above.

💡 Tips for Preventing Conflicts in the Future

• Avoid editing the same files on multiple devices at once.
• Ensure ownCloud has fully synced before making changes.
