Operating system Android Joplin version 3.6.19 Sync target File system Editor Markdown Editor What issue do you have? Android has stopped syncing via Filesystem and Syncthing. I noticed it today when I created a new note and waited for sync to happen. All my other clients are still syncing fine…

Thanks I found this version works fine: [image] Release android-v3.5.8 · laurent22/joplin-android Android releases for Joplin. Contribute to laurent22/joplin-android development by creating an account on GitHub.

Adding: I'm having issues getting images to sync between the desktops now as well. Both were just upgraded and didn't exhibit this issue before. Discovered this doing a step by step guide to how I reinstalled and re-synced.

I can confirm that file system sync is completely broken on Android in the latest version. I've created issue Mobile: The delta step of file system sync is completely broken on Android (3.6 regression) · Issue #15496 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub

Updating: Before downgrading on Android, the desktops were displaying: [image] These are an image on a laptop remote on v3.6.14 linux, and three demo images on the affected Android. Downgrading Android to v3.5.8 made the three demo images available to the linux machines. After that the images b…

Yeah it's likely the bug in 3.6.19 also affected resource uploads, so as it was a bug introduced in the file system handler. The next release should fix the cause of that as well.

From my perspective, it appears the index of resources was updated with the 3 "demo" resources from Android. What's odd about that, but possibly by design, is that those notes were deleted before the file sync was established. That explains WHY the resources were missing. As for the image from the l…

I wouldn't look too deep into this as it's complicated stuff. I'm 99% sure the issue was caused by a knock on effect of the bug which is being fixed. If the list of attachments which cannot be downloaded has cleared itself then great. If not, or they come back, I can point you to a guide to delete …

I encountered the same problem today: synchronization is no longer working. In the process, I noticed the following additional symptoms: Menu > Configuration > Tools > LOG > Share. Result: The app crashes after a few seconds. Menu > Configuration > Import and Export > EXPORT DEBUG REPORT. The b…

@thimu I think the crashes when exporting the log is also a knock on effect of the bug introduced (various file access in the Android app may be broken). If you have a lot of data, I'd recommend waiting until 3.6.20 is released, as you could spend a long time resyncing everything. But if you really…

Joplin 3.6.20 is now available here: Release android-v3.6.20 · laurent22/joplin-android · GitHub You can sideload the apk, or wait for a bit for it to be updated on the play store

@mrjo118 The synchronization is working again for me on Joplin Mobile 3.6.20 (prod, Android). Thank you very much! Unfortunately, however, the symptoms described above are still persisting. I will therefore open a new topic regarding this.
