What Joplin version(s) you're using? Are there any discrepancies in versions on mobile and desktop (like 2.4.2 on desktop and 1.6.5 on mobile)?

Did you upgrade any version recently and got this error after the installation?

Any information on specifics of your cloud? Is it set up? is it local? is it on a network drive?
