FileSyncProvider is renaming files

See more:

synchronize

Hi Guys,

I have a document synchronization component which I built using Microsoft Sync Framework.

Background:
On the client I use Microsoft File Sync Provider
On the other side (server) I use custom sync provider
Sync is running on the client and it is talking to the server through a proxy to the server side provider.
I have custom metadata store that saves knowledge and metadata in a SQL Server database.

The Issue:
Often when syncing between client and the serve where the client has the same document names as the server but initial it doesn’t have metadata file (it creates it when initializing the FileSyncProvider). What happens is that the local documents on the file system get renamed by appending .1 to the name.

Why the renaming is happening and what should I do to fix it?

Thanks for the support.
