what does "upload: conflict with another client's data occurred" actually mean? (syncing Linux & Android devices)
-
I have Vivaldi (latest 6.8) on my Linux laptop , and Vivaldi (latest available 6.7) on my Android 'phone
On my desktop Vivaldi sync settings show "Upload: conflict with another client's data occurred"
There's no error showing on the Android device.
Why does this keep happening (it's far from the first time)
Is there really no way to resolve this apart from a data reset, and having to go through the rigmarole of setting passwords & rescue passwords & so on?

Hi, this was a bug but solved in 6.8, log out/in should solve this on your system.
Reset remote data delete nothing on your system, only on the server. I have done this many times, reset remote data on the most up to date device, connect again and Vivaldi upload the actual data to the server.
All other devices gets logged out, after login again they get the new data.Cheers, mib

OP: "Hey, I got this problem, is there an easier, less annoying way to deal with this?"
Internet Buffoon: "Yes, there is! This problem was actually solved a while back, and therefore I'm now going to describe how you have to go through the exact same hassle that you said you were trying to avoid. Because not many people know this, but problems are actually defined as Solved even when they're Not Solved At All. And also, I'm not going to let your question stand in the way of the answer I want to give, even though I'm just telling you to do the thing you said you want to not be doing. Hang on while I apply my make-up and big red nose."

My apologies for the abrasiveness. It stems from the fact that I have the same problem as OP, and decided to...
- Google search problem.
- Click on most recent thread.
- Read OP's post to confirm I have the same issue.
- Scroll down.
- Oh joy! Someone posted an answer that's longer than a few words. This could be it!
- Nope. The sinking realization that someone took the time to post the only thing the OP specifically said he was trying to avoid the hassle of going through. Do you realize how difficult it is to manage that? I could literally post a recipe for chicken stew, and it would still not be the thing OP said he was trying to avoid.
In fact, in order to avoid making this thread a complete waste of time for future visitors seeking a solution to sync issues, here's a link to a delicious recipe for Italian Chicken Cacciatore stew.

Means: the Vivaldi Sync server got a hickup while synchronisation of data.
Restart of browser (client Desktop, Android)
Waiting 1 up to 2 hours
Logout of Sync and re-login
Alls this can help to solve the issue.Vivaldi Sync is not 100% bullet proof system. Sad, but sometimes true.

@SamFK And what had you tried to solve your issue?
Would be useful for others.
