Whenever you are syncing/backing up or using Uploads for certain files, which are utilized by a system frequently, conflicted copies might occur. A conflicted copy is a second version of a file that's being modified too frequently during the transfer. You will be able to recognize a conflicted copy of your file, as it will have the same name as the original version with the attachment ".conflicted". We do NOT advise using the following file types in Sync, Backup or Uploads:

.pst, .ost, .git directories, hidden files, browser data, email client data

If your Sync/Backup or files added in Uploads contain such files, you will need to exclude them.

• Right-click on the pCloud Drive icon in the system tray and choose Preferences
  Note: For pCloud Drive on macOS you should choose Settings
  
• Go to the Settings tab and select Exclusions

You have to add these files to the exclusion list before you set up your sync or backup or add files in Uploads. Otherwise, they won't be excluded. These exclusions apply to your backups, your syncs and all transfers initiated via Uploads.

If you have already started syncing/backing up or added files in Uploads:

• Stop the sync or backup from your Sync or Backup settings or cancel the upload process in Uploads.
• Delete these files from pCloud Drive.
• Go to the Exclusions tab and add the files/folders to the list of exclusions.
• Re-add the required files or folders in Sync/Backup/Uploads tabs.
