Thx for letting this know. It works great on vanilla Android like in my Pixel, I presume there are lots of tweaked android versions where this could give some issues (had an Sony Xperia before, ands hands down that this app wouldn’t have worked as intended).
Finally, I gave up and decided do not use Joplin for Android. The last 2 days were spend on setting OneDrive as a sync repo. As it was with the local file system, it was very easy on Windows desktop and did not work for me on Android. The last message I got was:
“The last error: Fail-safe: Sync was interrupted to prevent data loss. “ Joplin on Android thinks that the target is empty while it is not.
@smelnich You were using Google Drive via file system sync before, so how did you transfer your data over to OneDrive? If you manually copied the data from Google Drive to the OneDrive Apps/Joplin folder, that might not work, because the OneDrive api may create another folder if there already is one at that path which it didn’t create. So the fail safe error indicates it actually prevented all your notes being wiped out on your phone because the server was in an unexpected state.
If you want to make sure the data is correctly setup on OneDrive, on your desktop client containing your existing data, go to tools, options, synchronization, show advanced settings. Then use the ‘Re-upload local data to sync target’ button
Thanks for your answer. I don't use this Kind of tool. I will give it a try
On a side note, if you need to leave the Joplin app open with the screen on for an extended period of time while it syncs, it is a good idea to turn the screen brightness down low.
If you have an OLED screen, you can get screen burn if you have the screen brightness high and some aspects of the UI on the screen are completely static while the screen is left on.
