Thanks Rich​ that is helpful.  If I look in my cloud data though there are many files that are tagged with 'selective sync conflict' if I re-download my files won't I then have all those selective sync conflicts (hundreds to thousands) to manually merge still?

    Hi ThriceFive, sorry to hear about that! 

    When it comes to selective sync conflicts there's not an automated way to handle them.

    Here are some steps and future insights to prevent this from happening again.

    If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
