What issue do you have?
Hi, Is there a way to have Joplin sync on a change instead of once every 5 minutes? Or more often than every 5 minutes?
Please be aware that Joplin does sync your local changes automatically after a few seconds regardless of the sync interval. In other words, the interval's main function is to pull remote changes. You can define a custom value for the interval (set in seconds) if you edit the settings file manually (see https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/joplin-database-and-profile-location/3264 for how to find the file location).

What are the settings changes? I can't see any existing sync delay settings in the settings.json.
It's called sync.interval. I may be wrong, but you may need to set the interval in the GUI to something non-default first for this to actually appear in the settings file.
You're correct. I changed it and it created the sync.interval entry. Thanks.
FYI, I did find that settings below 5 min cause the value to display as Disabled under Settings -> Synchronisation but they do work.
Yeah, I've been using 60 seconds for quite a long time myself. I wouldn't recommend going down to very low values though, as that will likely have some performance penalty (as the application will keep running the sync routine basically all the time).
