Android 11  
Joplin 2.6.3

I can't copy/paste the message from my phone for some reason, so I'm pasting the screenshot below. I've been using dropbox for sync for quite a while and it stopped working just recently. Any help is appreciated!

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Not so long ago seemingly similar behaviour was reported [here](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/a-puzzle-on-joplin-for-android/22065). Just linking the threads together.

So far, the most often feature of these reports is version 2.6.3. Could you try installing a previous version?

Please make sure you have a backup and no data going to be lost during fiddling with sync target.

Thanks for the tip - downloading an older version (v2.4.3 for me) fixed my issue. After installing the older version, the `Upgrade Sync Target` functionality worked and I was able to successfully sync my notes back to my mobile phone!

I'd have responded sooner, but I didn't realize anyone had responded. I figured I'd have gotten an email notification or something if there was a reply... glad I decided to check today before trying to migrate out of Joplin!
