IMHO there is no easy solution to that, other than not using 2 clients 
with the same credentials at the same time.

Maybe increasing the "sync" time to one minute in Toltec Connector 
settings would help, but not always.


This is similar to the situation when you use the same credentials on 
many workstations with Samba, and use roaming profiles: in the end, you 
will never know which workstation will upload a profile, delete old 
files, etc.

The situation with Toltec Connector is similar here.
