# NSFileManagerResumeSyncBehavior.dropLocalChanges

Resumes synchronizing by overwriting any local changes with the remote version of the file.

```
case dropLocalChanges
```

## Discussion

If a conflict occurs, the file manager stores the local changes as an alternate version.
Only use this behavior if you provide a separate means of resolving and merging conflicts.
