Question asked on Oct 1, 2013
For some reason my SkyDrive stopped syncing with my desktop app. I share many folders with two other people, who have been adding and editing files in my folders.
I know that I can unlink and then do a First Run Experience, but I have a concern. Will the files I have updated or created in my desktop app be synced when I relink SkyDrive? What will happen to files that both I and another user have edited. Let's say the sync stopped working on 9/1.  I have a file "ABC" that I edited on 9/2 and my colleague edited on 9/3.  When I unlink and then re-link Skydrive, what will happen to the file "ABC"? Also, my colleagues have created some new folders and moved files to those folders-- will we only get duplicates or will any files/folders get deleted?
Thanks!
