What issue do you have?

I have been syncing from a desktop Windows PC to an Android tablet for months without issue but the sync function has now stopped working and I get the error message below. The latest notes added on my desktop have not been transferred to my tablet.

Completed: 29/10/2024 09:11 (3s)
Last error: Fail-safe: Sync was interrupted because 100% of the data (24816 items) is about to be deleted. To override this behaviour disable the fail-safe in the sync settings.

Obviously, I don't want to turn off the fail safe and delete everything, but I am at a loss to know how to resolve this. I have upgraded my desktop to the latest version to see if it helped, but it didn't. I have check my OneDrive account to be sure I still have space and I have plenty.

Can anyone advise what I might need to do to get the sync working again please?

Thanks in advance for any help.
