Pay attention to which option you select.
“Synchronize”: Updates files both ways…keeping changes like renames, deletions and edits to either folder contents the same between the two.
“Echo”: New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right.
“Contribute”: New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames on the left are repeated on the right. No deletions.
