Techniques for limiting synchronization conflicts during file synchronization in a computing system are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a change to a local copy a computer file on a client device. The local copy is associated with a local token. The method also includes obtaining a server token associated with a server copy of the same computer file on a file server and determining whether the local token matches the server token. If the local and server tokens match each other, the method includes uploading the local copy to the file server to overwrite the server copy even though the server copy contains a change to the computer file that is different than a change to the local copy of the same computer file.
