Syncing Windows installation to iPad via OneDrive loses folders

[girlbandgeek]

Hi Roy,
I had a similar issue with OneDrive and syncing between Windows and iOS. I ended up following this procedure successfully:

Android sync to Onedrive error

To get around it quickly, I did the following (basically rebuilt the whole thing): Export all the notes (in jex file format) Created a new profile on the desktop Imported all the notes to it (which created "/App/Graph 2" on OneDrive) Confirmed it was all there Sync'ed it with Mobile phone Erased "/App/Graph" from OneDrive Although, the sync does seem a little flaky. It'd be nice to figure this out, so we can prevent it in the future and/or resolve it in a better way.

In summary, you make a jex backup, then import it into a new profile. Some observations:

• OneDrive does not appear to be ideal for Joplin sync (but it's much cheaper than the alternatives which is why I'm using it)
• After creating the new profile and importing the backup, I had to run sync multiple times on my devices before the all my files and folders were actually in sync.
• If Joplin detects a conflict, some notes may get moved to a conflict folder. This was not included in the backup as far as I could tell. I manually copied the conflict notes from old profile to new one. It was cumbersome, but worked. I had three notes in this state. Possibly there's a more automatic way to move the conflict notes? Would be handy if more than 3 were in this state.

Good luck getting this sorted.
