Can anyone tell me what causes a file name to duplicate and appear with the following "name"
Master DB_1_21_15@9b1e95f9bff5463d87789d6efbbe4852
I have a file that is called Master DB_1_21_15 (excel file)
It resides on my desktop computer in my Google Drive folder
The date is the last time I saved it with a new name. Helps me to keep track and to share latest version with another part of our organization that needs access to it.
I also sometime open this file to look at it from a laptop to look at it but I don't save it from my laptop.
Most of the time when I go in to open it up I will see the file
Master DB_1_21_15
I will also see
~Master DB_1_21_15
And I will see:
Master DB_1_21_15@9b1e95f9bff5463d87789d6efbbe4852
This morning it is actually the last one, Master DB_1_21_15@9b1e95f9bff5463d87789d6efbbe4852,
which appears to be the most updated with a saved date of yesterday afternoon 1/24/15 at 2:15 which is approximately the time it was last worked with.
I'm pretty sure it was the Master DB_21_15 file that was opened and saved at that time. But this file is not showing up as the most recently saved. It has a saved date of 1/22/15. This is the file that should be the main file that is always opened and always saved.
What is causing those other files with the ~ and with the @ symbol in them?
How do I avoid them or what do I do with them. I need that Master DB_1_21_15 to be the most accurate and up to date because it contains all of our membership records.
Anyone can help explain this to me?
Thanks
Bill
