Hazel + Sync: Why Are My Files Being Renamed After Syncing?

Hey Mr Noodle,

I use Hazel with a synced folder, and sometimes files come back with names like Report (1) or Report (2) after syncing.

I’m not sure if Hazel or the sync service is causing it.

Is there a good way to prevent Hazel from creating or processing files with duplicate names?

Thank you.

Can you give more deatils? What sync service are you using? Does it happen if you stop all rules?
