Sync behavior when users move files and folders

If a user decides to move files and folder around on their computer, how does Syncplicity handle this?

Will this type of action require the other connected computers to download the files again to the new location and remove the files in the old location, or will it simply move the files?

Nick, see this article in the section that covers managing folders:

To prevent all other users of a shared folder needing to download the data again, it is important that the person renaming or moving a folder first exclude that folder from synchronization. If the person who changes the folder name or location has editor rights to the folder or is the owner, then that folder will need to be downloaded again to any other user who is sharing it.
