The behavior of cloud servers when dealing with ransomware-infected files can vary depending on the specific cloud service provider, their security measures, and the configuration of your syncing setup. In some cases, if a synced computer is infected with ransomware, the changes made to files may be synced to the cloud server, potentially overwriting the original files with encrypted versions. It is crucial to have proper security measures in place, such as regular backups, strong password protection, and utilizing security features provided by the cloud service, to mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks.
