Does Foldershare recognize duplicate files across synced folders? If not,
what does it do with files of the same name, size, date, etc?

thanks

I've never found any "catch up" scheme. Existing identical files are not
"recognized" as being the same file and will renamed to include the name of
the device (computer) in order to make them different from the one already
in the library and known to the FS servers. If that device has contributor
rights then the renamed file will then be added into the library and then
propagated to all the other file sharers of that library. So best to start
off joining any existing library with a totally empty directory/folder.
