SYMPTOMS

When you try to drag a file from Briefcase on a floppy disk to a folder on a hard disk, you may receive the following error message:

Add to Briefcase
<Filename> cannot be added because it already has a sync copy in this Briefcase.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the Briefcase tool is not a folder, it is a program designed to synchronize files in different locations. If you drag a file from Briefcase on a floppy disk to a folder on a hard disk, your file may not be properly synchronized.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, do not drag a file from Briefcase on a floppy disk to a folder on a hard disk.
