What issue do you have?

I am using Joplin with end-to-end encryption and syncing my notes to a Nextcloud server. Occasionally, I receive error messages that reference internal file names (e.g., long hexadecimal strings with a .md extension). However, these internal file names do not correspond to any note titles or content visible in the Joplin app, and searching for them within Joplin returns no results.

Is there a way to identify which note or resource these internal file names refer to, or to see their content, when using end-to-end encryption? This would help me troubleshoot synchronization errors more effectively.

You can search by the internal note id (the md filename without the .md) by searching in Joplin using the prefix id: followed by the note id

If the object with a sync problem is not a note though (could be a tag, the link between note and tag, notebook, revision etc), I don't think the search will find anything. Alternatively if you export a jex file of all your notes, all the contents within it will be decrypted, so you can then rename it to zip and unzip it, to check for the object with relevant id. If the id corresponds to a revision though, it will not he present in the jex file
