Unable to sync all the notes and folders using WebDav

Support

Description: Unable to sync all the notes and folders to WebDav location.
Version: 1.0.175 (prod, win32)
OS: Windows 10
Details:
First, I tried to fix myself: archived all the objects to JEX format, cleaned up everything, imported all the objects, configured webdav sync, checked successful connection, started sync, it took me ~4 hours. I looked at synchronization status and found that no folders synced and not all the notes synced:
Sync_status

Next, I tried sync with debug mode (just now): 1 item synced, no errors, but still not objects synced shown in the synchronization report.

There are some errors in the log.txt (at 15:36:45):

Please, help me find a solution to this issue.

Are these the last log lines? Because I’m surprised it synced anything at all since these messages indicate that the sync target is not setup.

3

Thank you for the answer.
Here is a complete log:
log.txt (494.4 KB)

4

I can see some messages synced, so it synced something, but not everything. And it does not produce any errors, so it’s hard to trust it.

5

I am wondering, if it possible to help with my problem or should I give up?

6

There are lots of timeout in the log so it’s probably taking forever to sync. Does it work at all when you press the “Check sync config” button in the settings? Is it possible that yandex is throttling you? Could you maybe lower down the number of simultaneous connections?

7

Yes, “check sync config” is working ok.
I will try to reduce the number of simultaneous connections and try again.

8

@laurent, I have changed the number of simultaneous connections to 1 and tried to sync again.
Looks like nothing happens at remote site.
Total items are growing, but synced items remain as 4 days before:
kEWE5uMTuQ
What do you think: should I wipe everything, restore from archive and establish new synchronization again?

9

Ок. Looks like I need to return to Evernote.

Evernote is a solid piece of software. Of course, you can always try out Joplin every so often to see if the kinks are worked out and to keep in touch with what’s going on. It’s definitely not without its quirks and annoyances but also has a lot of potential.

11

Yes. Thank you. Actually, so far, to my opinion, Joplin is the best “Evernote killer” app.
It is deffenetly suitable for regular notes keeping. I like its architecture too.
The only problem I encounter, as far as I understood: “large files synchronization” (looks like the same problem exist with Joplin - Nextcloud sync too).
This is important to me: I have a lot of large notes and I need them for my work.
I will keep watching Joplin releases (thanks to GitHub, it’s easy).

How big do your single notes get? Mine are no more than maybe 200 lines total at the most for what i use it for. Hell, i have more 1 line notes than anything at the moment. I’ve made a visual budget using the drag and drop capabilities. I drag monetary notes to expenses and whatnot.

13

I have a lot of notes more than 50 MB. Some archives and large PDF files. It can take a lot of time to move them somewhere.

14

Wow, ok. In that case you might want to use a content management system. Like IBM Content Manager or Microsoft SharePoint.
This is clearly not the idea behind Joplin. 50 MB is not a note, but a few books.

Even, if the limit was not there in Joplin, I doubt that Joplin is the right tool to manage these type of notes.

15

Yeah, I know. Now I store all the books in Calibre already and I should move large archives to some cloud storage. Than I will be ready for Joplin.

16

I also use calibre for books. Great choice. :wink:
