Synchronization vs Deployment / Basic Settings?
New to phpStorm. Ran into an issue this morning where my (much older) local files were trying to synchronize (UPLOAD TO) our server. Which is a serious problem.
I work from two different office locations. Just want to configure so that whenever I open phpStorm, my local resources download any changes files from the server. Under the assumption that I may have been working from a different workstation, or one of our devs have uploaded changes that I am not readily aware of. When I save a file, it should push to the remote server. And when I click "Synchronize", I would like to upload/download all changed files to/from using the most recently modified versions on my local machine when I close out for the day.
How can I set this up?

Hi there,
You may use "Deployment | Synchronize..." at the start of the day to get your local code in such with remote.

You may also enable "Warn when uploading over newer file" and "Notify about remote changes" options (Deployment | Options)
P.S. Maybe just use some VCS and its' "merge" functionality .. and then on remote server you just do checkout (so remote will have latest version from VCS)
