Joplin version: 1.0.175 (prod, Linux)  
Linux: Arch (Linux aurora 5.4.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue, 14 Jan 2020 21:44:31 +0000 x86\_64 GNU/Linux)

Having issues syncing with OneDrive on Linux. Similar behavior on my Windows instance. Has been working flawlessly. Seemed to start after attaching pdfs to a note. To troubleshoot, I Created an empty Joplin instance and used the sync target “OneDrive Dev” because it conveniently creates a new folder name under OneDrive App directory.

To recreate on Linux

New Joplin user instance  
flags.txt with debug entries copied to ~/.config/joplin-desktop  
Open Joplin  
Remove default notebook  
Authenticate to OneDrive successfully  
Create new notebook and note  
Attach pdf to the note.  
syncs successfully.  
Turn on encryption  
Start sync  
Error occurs
