I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I’m a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I’m not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I’m making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I’m not alone https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-does-not-auto-upload-all-images/216849/14
Syncthing for android is a mess. I need to redo a folder or two every couple weeks because of some unresolvable sync errors or ghost files…
When I was running a mesh topology I often had the same issue. Switching to a star topology fixed pretty much everything.
That’s bizarre. Did you try clearing up the hidden folders
.stfolderand.stversionsand starting from scratch? I’m not doubting that you experience what you experience, I just never had it and I’m curious how you can even get to such a state. Using “syncthing fork” from F-Droid and Syncthing-v2.0.12 on desktop.
