Collision Handling - Syncing with Existing Files on AWS S3

Post by priver »

I am attempting to setup a Sync between a local directory and an AWS S3 bucket. The files exist and match identically in both locations, however the S3 objects were uploaded at a later date and therefore have a more recent last modified date.

When setting up a Sync, I correctly received a warning of the collision. If I select the Use details from Left option, SyncBackPro attempts to upload the entire file to S3. I suspect this is because AWS S3 does not support modifying the objects last modified date.

The only thought I have is that AWS S3 supports user defined tags, where the original last modified date could be stored and SyncBackPro could use to compare. What's the best solution in this case, avoiding re-uploading all of the files?
