Cloud storage question

[pcslookout]

If I have a folder with 50 items in it on my cloud storage then the same folder goes to upload automatically to the cloud storage with 150 items instead will it overwrite those 50 original items please?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

If I have a synced folder with files: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
And I edit/change file 1.
And then I delete files 4 & 5
And then add 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10

Most cloud storage software will upload the new version of file 1, delete files 4 & 5 from the Cloud folder, and upload 6-10. Files 2 & 3 are unchanged, so there's no reason to waste time re-uploading them.

Expand the process out for 150 files.

Cloud storage providers that offer snapshots, or which are geared towards backup and not just actively synced storage, will keep the older version of File 1, as well as Files 4 & 5. But you have to know how to go through the file history.
