Conflicts, storage & limits

What happens when two devices edit the same file, and how much you can store.

Conflicts keep both copies

If the same file changes on two devices before they sync, TinyCloud never silently overwrites one with the other. It keeps both and renames one copy:

Budget 2026 (conflicted copy MacBook-Pro · TinyOffice 2026-10-18).xlsx

The name includes the device and the date. Open both, keep what you need, and delete the copy you don't.

Storage by plan

  • The largest single file you can sync is 5 GB.
  • Deleted files are kept for 30 days before they're removed for good.

When storage is full

You'll see Storage quota reached. Uploads are blocked; downloads can continue. Files from your other devices still arrive, but new or changed files on this computer wait until you free up space or upgrade your plan.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing is syncing — make sure you're signed in and sync isn't paused, then choose Sync now.
  • A file stays "Waiting to sync" — check your connection and your storage; files over 5 GB don't sync.
  • Sync controls are missing — they only appear when you're signed in.
