Hi Jay​ ,
Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I’m seeing selective sync conflicts on both devices (Windows 11 and macOS). The “sync in progress” error persists on folders deselected for syncing. No recent OS updates were made; both systems are up-to-date (Windows 11 24H2, macOS Ventura 13.6). Any suggestions for resolving this? 😊

Best,
