Well, today the time at my country changed again and a new set of duplicates was copied to my PC.
Already posted my time settings at both: PC & Mobile but never got a reply or any other reference.

Another year and another batch of thousands of files syncing that have not been modified. Now the problem is worse because I have a tablet that's now in the sync loop.

First sync after daylight time change about 5 GB of unchanged files from Android phone get Edited to PC. PC sends these edits to the tablet. Since the PC dates have now changed they all get copied to my backup server and to my Mozy cloud backup. Huge waste of time!

More importantly, the dates on the files lose their original modification date. When I scan the files on my PC they all show being modified today or yesterday. This makes it impossible to search for old files, or any files, by date.

I love MPE but I don't understand why there have never been any instructions provided on how to avoid this, or to fix the bug that's causing it. Just a clear step-by-step instruction on what I should do, if I'm able to solve this without a program fix.

DST arrived in Italy too and my sync was smooth and perfect.

Are you sure to have the SAME time zone on both the phone and pc?

Yes, I'm certain: GMT -7 on all devices.

If you don't have this problem, using Windows 10 and Android, then there's hope that this can be resolved without a fix in MPE. I'd love to know what it is.

Hi all, I started this thread and I'm still suffering from this issue.
My 5.1.1 Android Galaxy S4 is on GMT +3, using network provided time.
My Win 7 PC is on UTC +2, set by work administrator.
Of course on the daylight change date I "won" a new copy of my SD Card with the suffix of (4) by now, to the whole 29 Gb of my SD.
Never got a solution to this.
Will somebody please give me a working solution?

Well, that's completely out of my hands, one is my organization administrator and the other is my cellular provider...
Any idea how to match the dates?

One of them is wrong, IMHO... Cool
Try with the phone, you should be able to disable the sync...

Back to Standard Time and another 40 GB of data needlessly transferred between Windows 10 (UTC -8) and Android phone (GMT -8) and again on tablet (GMT -8).

After more than five years asking how to fix this I still have to go through this twice a year. Is there no simple instruction for what I need to do? If not, it is a bug and should have been corrected years ago.

I'm not the only one with the problem. MPE does not handle the semi-annual time shift for some users and does for others. There is a pattern yet to be determined. However, after this many years of no progress, and my move away from a custom ROM to a stock Samsung Galaxy S9+, I see the problem follow me. It's not my phone.

I suspect it's a difference between the way UTC and GMT time is handled. On a recent trip to Europe via Iceland I set calendar events for gate boarding times in UTC 0 zone, not realizing that this zone doesn't shift for Daylight Savings. I should have used GMT +1. My calendar events were an hour early when I arrived in Iceland and my phone updated its time to local.

My phone/tablet and PC use different zones - UTC versus GMT. I'll be copying 40 GB again in March. Sad

I'm pretty sure that's your problem: you should have the same zone.
I do have the same zone: CET

Your PC and phone are using the same time zone offset? CET is the name of a zone, like mine is PDT. Are your devices both using UTC +? or GMT +?.

If this is something I can fix I need FJ to tell me what to do and I've heard nothing to help in five years now.

Yes, that's what I'm writing to you since long ago... Very Happy
All my devices are into the same time zone, computers and phones.
For me is "CET", sometime called also "GMT+1" or "UTC+1"

BTW: GMT and UTC are two different ways to say the same thing!

Here you are my Seven config...
