Hi @nemetht. The sync is a one way sync, so it unfortunately overwrites everything in the remote directory. This includes any existing notebooks with data. We try to be extremely careful about not overwriting critical files by only allowing syncing to repos with .ide extension. We will be moving away from repos to avoid this confusion entirely.
