Hello, all,
I’ve had a problem for some time that I’d really like to solve once and for all: The folders hierarchy in one of my databases is not consistent across devices.
I do not mean the sort order. I know that is unique to each computer. I mean the folders themselves. As in, folders that I have placed in one spot on one computer, show up in an entirely different spot on another synced computer.
See screenshots below.
Other details:
- I am syncing through Dropbox. Items are being brought over successfully – they’re just being put in the wrong places.
- Yes, I’ve done all the fixit-type options (verify/repair, check integrity, optimize, etc.) on the database. No issues.
- I have deleted the database from the other computer and then brought it back in. The problem replicates.
Any thoughts, please? I’m starting to get concerned – this database represents more than 20 years of scholarship, so I’m a bit hyper-vigilant about reliability. (Yes, I’ve backed up.)
Computer A (this one is the ‘original’ and correct):
Computer B (those additional folders are elsewhere on Computer A):
