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.

Re: Live Sync adds its own files?

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.
