### What issue do you have?

Since this afternoon the syncing on my desktop never stops. With the new interface I only see the spinning circle and I have no idea whether something is happening or that my system hangs. In the beginning I ignored it and went on with my work. Now looking back to what I wrote since then, but the new edits have disappeared!! Joplin seems to work on my android but nothing gets synced to my desktop. Is this a local issue because I noticed the some of the Joplin servers seem to have issues today.  
Any advice?  
Thanks!!

The syncing finally stopped with an error message:
