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

 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.



MORE INFORMATION
For information about how to use Briefcase, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type briefcase, and then double-click the "Briefcase" topic.
