Sync Conflicts repeatedly even though there have been no changes to the file
Over the span of the last two weeks, I’ve started having an issue with one file -- out of about 17 --that seems to have perpetual sync issues, even though there are no issues. opening the file results in the first screenshot, and then I get the second, asking me to sync it again, within 2min of having the file open. if I accept the sync, within 2min, it will pop back up again, and just keep repeating until you hit cancel.
On each open, when it gives me the conflicts detected notice, it will create a folder for the conflicts, but doesn't actually put anything in it. the 3:12am conflict also created an empty (!) Conflicts folder, even though it put the empty, dated folder in the original.
At this point, I’m about ready to just create a whole new file and copy everything over to it, but I'm afraid if it continues to do it I still won't have an actual fix for the problem.
I have already followed the advice to check if dropbox is trying to sync via iCloud, its off, and I shut off the sync for overdrive, since that's where I keep my backups, but the issue is still happening.
One other thing that might need noted is that whenever it syncs on open, it reloads as if I had made changes on another device, showing me all of the chapters that were last opened on my phone.
This is also only an issue on my MacBook Air M4; opening on either my iPhone 17 or my win11 PC doesn't result in any kind of error at all. If I open the file on the PC the move to the Mac, I don’t have an issue; this only happens when the file is opened on the phone and then I move to the MacBook; it only became a problem after updating both apple products to 26.6. I’ve also checked both for scrivener updates and both are up to date.
