Recommendations for OSX Migration Assistant and the selective sync conflicts that might occur.

Thanks Megan. That article is helpful to an extent, perhaps in understanding the mechanics of what may be happening during the Migration Assistant. 

I did resolve all of my sync conflicts. In my case, there were few files in the conflicted folders, so it meant removing them from the Dropbox website and letting those changes populate to synced devices. If I had to guess, I had probably 20-40 folders at the top level of my account that were marked as sync conflicts. Of those, many had subfolders. Most that had subfolders did not contain any files. Some of the root folders contained actual files, so I checked for the original folder and found that these were duplicated files and felt confident deleted the conflict folder.

It isn't a challenging process, but it is one that requires a fair amount of care in attempting to locate then compare the original folders to the newly created "conflict folders", then requires taking the time to ensure that I'm comfortable with deleting the conflicted folder. I've been using Dropbox for many years, and have run into this issue on other machines and different operating systems, and it never is very straightforward. But I've found that if I neglect it when it happens, it can lead to a pretty disorganized root folder and a lot of duplicate folders.
