What issue do you have?
Hi,
I’m Rene, I have installed Joplin on my Windows 11 laptop (ver. 3.4.12) and on my Android phone (ver. 3.4.7), wanted to use Dropbox to sync my notes between the two devices.
When I start configuring the sync on the desktop app, I’ll go thru authorization and do a first sync. All seems to work fine. But when I open my Dropbox online I can’t see any Joplin connection or Joplin under settings/Apps or any folder and files under the Apps folder. What I do see is a Apps folder with an Joplin folder inside in my local Dropbox folder structure on the Windows machine. When clicking on the sync button I see no change of in the cloud just changes in the local Dropbox folder.
When doing the same under Android, I’ll go thru the authorization and do a first sync, also here is everything fine. This time a Joplin connection was created in the cloud and also a Joplin folder was created under the Apps folder. When doing a sync I can see timestamp changes in the cloud folder.
The issue is that both instances of Joplin do not sync with each other, they use two different synchronization targets.
