Re: What is the best way to set multiple directories to combine into one large directory?

I should add that this renaming should not apply to subfolders if possible, since almost every job would have a "Mezz Package" folder, or an "Art" folder, or an "iTunes" folder. These subfolders would not need to be renamed because they are differentiated by their top level folder, which has a ...

Re: What is the best way to set multiple directories to combine into one large directory?

Hi Tobias, thank you for replying. I think the best naming structure would simply be to append a _1 or _2 or _3 to iterations that have the similar name.

So if there were Four folders called "Ambition" they would look like this:

Ambition
Ambition_1
Ambition_2
Ambition_3

This would allow them to ...

Re: Default settings combined subfolders with similar names - how to change?

Thank you for the answer. I will fix it manually. It was a one way sync from 2 different servers onto a new server which will contain the combined elements of both of the old servers.

I will try disabling "Detect Moved Files and Renamed Folders"

What is the best way to set multiple directories to combine into one large directory?

Hello, I have 6 directories that I need to combine into one super directory. Basically, we have 6 old storage servers and we are combining all of the assets from all of them into one new storage server.

Default settings combined subfolders with similar names - how to change?

Hi All, syncovery is a fantastic program. I'm not sure how to change this setting though, it has never come up for me before.

I did a big sync of a directory, and the destination already had tons of media files in it. Syncovery found subfolders with matching names and combined them.

For example ...
