Live Sync adds its own files?

    Live Sync adds its own files?

    We upgraded the foldershare on three computers to Live Sync.
    Now we're seeing many additional files added to the libraries.

    Here's an example:

    Let's say we use account name@xxxxxx

    The computers are called comp1 comp2 and comp3

    The library has the file 'data.xls' in it.

    After Live Sync runs, we find these additional files:

    data-name@xxxxxx,comp1.xls
    data-name@xxxxxx,comp2.xls
    data-name@xxxxxx,comp3.xls

    What is going on?

    Thanks.

    I figured it out.

    This has to do with how the files in an existing library are handled during
    the period
    between one computer being upgraded and the next. These extra files can be
    safely deleted
    on any computer and their deletion will propagate leaving only the "real"
    version for
    future synchronizations.

    Enjoy!

    But the fact they are staying is a bug in my opinion.
