I just set up Joplin for the first time on Android.  
I set up sync for OneDrive. It connected without issue.  
However, instead of the expected behaviour, Joplin created a folder called 'Apps 1/Joplin'  
('Apps 1', not 'Apps' as expected)  
(I had a root folder called 'Apps' already so I guess it saw it as a conflict?)

Did Joplin not have the ability to create the subfolder within the 'Apps' directory?  
(Other apps use the same apps/subfolder naming scheme so Joplin shouldn't assume the directory doesn't exist....)  
Is there a way to manually create and re-connect to the proper folder? (I suspect it may have a permissions issue as well)

Joplin 1.5.1  
DB v34  
Android
