Alias in Finder, Full File in Windows


hello,

ran issue @ work , has me stumped.

have shared network drive, accessed through smb only, art team connects indesign documents (indd). when accessed through finder, 1 of files shows alias. when @ same file through windows explorer, complete file. why discrepancy? i'm guessing there bit or attribute got switched in file makes alias in os x. besides, file 12mb in size, , doubt alias huge. there way revert "alias" original state? thanks.
 

fix - not solution

ran today - solution copy "alias file" pc, file still showed alias when viewed on mac - if made copy of file on pc - new copy of file identified actual file on mac - not alias.

don't know why happens - in same situation (the folder networked folder resides on windows server - of mac customer files located there.

hope helps - , hope hadn't been waiting since march solution!
