Would you please explain why .... when synchronizing Joplin "contents" ... the Joplin.exe file is getting sync-ed ? Could it be that you are talking about something entirely different, not the sync feature which Joplin provides ?

This notice is the result of a sync with the Joplin feature,  
After syncing between Desktop and Smartphone with Android 11 or Desktop with Tabeltt with Android 8.this message is shown in sync log with different element numbers

This does not explain why the .exe file gets in the way ? Could it be that you are sync-ing files with Dropbox other than the Joplin profile (through Joplin) ?
