Desktop: scary wording on big changes

Created on 14 Mar 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/desktop

The desktop client has some logic to detect potential sync issues. If, for example, a backup is restored on the server, it will seem that all files are changed - but, of course, the version on the client is probably newer. The client then explains the problem to the user and presents them with two options:

Keep Files or Remove all files

Now we know users don't read and just looking at the options, there seems only one sane option: OF COURSE you want to keep your files! However, if the warning was simply triggered because you uploaded/modified a lot of files on another system, this option will undo all those changes, resulting in data loss.

I suggest we rename these options:

Keep Local Files or Download New Files
