3 devices connected with Syncthing → 2 windows computers and 1 instance running in Docker Linux.
I am the only user of these devices. I have fast internet speed. The files are around 25 MB in size.
When I edit a file on one computer in a short time I get a copy of that file with “.sync-conflict-20250206-072027-VXKHMQ6” attached to the original name.
Sometimes when I delete some files from one computer in a short time, they come back.
How to debug this? How to find which Syncthing instance is causing the problems.
Thank you for the help.

Because there are different operating systems in the mix, don’t try to sync permissions and/or extended attributes between the Windows and Linux devices – e.g. enable the “Ignore Permissions” setting for the shared folders.

The last segment of the filename, `VXKHMQ6`, is the short identifier of the device with the conflicting file.
More details are available on the [Understanding Synchronization](https://docs.syncthing.net/users/syncing.html) documentation page.
