### What issue do you have?

Every once in a while, sync hangs on my desktop and just keep trying to sync. Clicking cancel does not help. Only solution is to kill Joplin and start again.

The main issue is that sometimes I don't notice, so I end up not syncing notes for days and can have conflicts.

Anyone has an idea how to solve it? Also is there a more reliable sync target?

For now, disabling sync locks may help (settings \> synchronization \> advanced \> un-check "enable sync locks").
